TV chef Rick Stein offered his support to fellow presenter Gregg Wallace following allegations of misconduct that led to Wallace stepping down from MasterChef. Stein acknowledged the unfortunate situation, stating he felt sorry for Wallace but also emphasized the importance of adapting to changing societal norms and avoiding offensive language.
TV chef Rick Stein has said he feels "a bit sorry" for TV presenter Gregg Wallace after he stepped away from hosting MasterChef following a host of misconduct complaints. The 78-year-old said he felt what happened to Wallace, who has stepped back from the hit BBC One cooking show as production company Banijay UK investigates claims of alleged misconduct, was "unfortunate".
" Wallace's lawyers previously told the BBC "it is entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature". The most recent series of MasterChef: The Professionals continued to air last year amid allegations against Wallace, but two MasterChef celebrity Christmas specials were pulled from the BBC's schedule in December 2024. Food critic Grace Dent will judge the forthcoming 20th series of Celebrity MasterChef alongside John Torode.
