Gregg Wallace, host of MasterChef, denies making inappropriate sexual comments and questions the validity of recent complaints. He has received support from fellow MasterChef contestants, who describe him as professional and encouraging.
MasterChef's Gregg Wallace has blasted "middle-class women of a certain age" who complained about him in a new Instagram post. A probe has been launched after a series of complaints were made about Wallace's on-set conduct.
"And apparently now I am reading in the paper there’s been 13 complaints in that time. In the newspaper I can see the complaints coming from a handful of middle-class women of a certain age just from Celebrity Masterchef. While MasterChef contestant Lisa Addison, who appeared on the show in 2022, wrote: "Filmed with Gregg two years ago. An absolute gentleman! The woke will not stop til they get what they want! Yet another example of the media destroying someone."
A spokesperson for Sir Rod's wife, Penny Lancaster, has since revealed that she is prepared to go to the authorities. Speaking to Mail Online, they said: "While Penny is happy to talk to the appropriate authorities should they feel she has anything useful to add, she will not be discussing the matter with any broadcaster or newspaper at this time."
