An investigation into historical allegations of misconduct against Wallace, going back to 2005.
John Torode had said he has "never been friends" with fellow MasterChef host Gregg Wallace . Torode does his best to avoid his colleague when the cameras stop rolling - despite presenting the hugely popular BBC 1 programme with the former market trader since 2005.
As reported by the Mirror, Torode, from Melbourne, Australia, described his colleague as "so OCD" at the time. He added: "It’s funny, we’ve never been friends. We’ve not been to each other’s houses… He’s so OCD, he wouldn’t know what to do. Thirteen people, including former Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark, have made complaints to the BBC about historical allegations. Wark, 69, appeared in series six of the Celebrity MasterChef spin off in 2011, and claims that on two occasions, in front of contestants and crew, Wallace told stories and jokes of a "sexualised nature".
