Gregg Wallace has stepped away from his role on BBC One's MasterChef after the broadcaster received complaints from individuals about historical allegations of misconduct
Celebrity chef Gregg Wallace is taking a break from his role on MasterChef, following the emergence of historic allegations against him.
The statement emphasises Banijay UK's commitment to staff welfare and their readiness to address inappropriate behaviour, adding: "Banijay UK’s duty of care to staff is always a priority and our expectations regarding behaviour are made clear to both cast and crew on all productions, with multiple ways of raising concerns, including anonymously, clearly promoted on set.
Gregg, who has presented MasterChef with John Torode since 2005, has previously hit out at allegations surrounding his conduct. In October, he took to social media to address accusations he made “inappropriate sexual comments” on the quiz show Impossible Celebrities, and also removed his top in front of an employee in 2018. He has also been accused of being insulting to some women behind the scenes during filming of Inside The Factory last year.
