Gregg Wallace: Former MasterChef Presenter Launches Legal Action Against BBC

BBC leaders to answer parliamentary questions on Gaza documentary breaches, Glastonbury livestream controversies, and misconduct investigation leading to Gregg Wallace's dismissal.

  • On Tuesday, BBC director-general Tim Davie and chairman Samir Shah will face the Culture, Media and Sport Committee over Gaza coverage, Glastonbury, and the Gregg Wallace investigation.
  • An internal review found the Gaza documentary breached accuracy rules by not disclosing the child narrator's father's role within the Hamas-run government, while Tim Davie defended the BBC's broader Gaza coverage.
  • Controversy centres on which performances the BBC chose to stream live, as the BBC livestream faced criticism for broadcasting Bob Vylan's chants described as `Death, death to the IDF`, while Kneecap's `Free Palestine` chants were not streamed live at Glastonbury Festival.
  • Gregg Wallace's dismissal followed an internal inquiry recording 83 allegations, with 45 substantiated including one of unwelcome physical contact and three of being in a state of undress.
  • Tim Davie said being BBC boss is `not a job for the faint-hearted` and acknowledged `we may see more things coming out` as the BBC pursues transparency under parliamentary scrutiny by MPs.
