US EditionGregg Wallace: Over half of allegations against MasterChef presenter upheld, including one of unwanted physical contact
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 14 – A seven-month investigation upheld 45 of 83 allegations against Gregg Wallace, leading the BBC to end their partnership due to sustained inappropriate conduct over nearly two decades.
- An independent inquiry substantiated more than half of the 83 complaints concerning Gregg Wallace, the ex-host of MasterChef, including a claim of unwanted physical contact.
- An independent investigation conducted over a period of seven months by the law firm Lewis Silkin was initiated following a BBC News report that uncovered inappropriate sexual remarks and behaviour occurring over a span of 19 years.
- Banijay UK stated Wallace's return to MasterChef was untenable due to sustained allegations and highlighted failures in past reporting and HR procedures prior to 2016.
- The BBC acknowledged that there were missed chances to address Wallace's conduct earlier and expressed regret that a more prompt response was not taken, offering apologies to those affected.
- As a result, BBC has no plans to work with Wallace in the future, he was removed from MasterChef, and Banijay will implement an external whistleblowing service across all productions.
