US EditionGregg Wallace warned not to 'say women made it up'
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 9 – Baroness Helena Kennedy cautions against dismissing allegations as about 50 claims accuse Greg Wallace of sexual misconduct, prompting an independent inquiry and his dismissal by Banijay UK.
- Gregg Wallace, a 60-year-old MasterChef presenter, was sacked in 2025 following an independent investigation into multiple historical allegations of inappropriate behaviour on set.
- MasterChef's producer Banijay UK commissioned an external investigation into formal complaints from more than 50 individuals spanning 2005 to 2018, with oversight provided by the legal firm Lewis Silkin.
- Wallace acknowledged using inappropriate humour and language, apologized without reservation, and revealed a recent autism diagnosis which he partly attributes to misunderstandings about his behaviour.
- BBC's head of compliance Claire Powell stated she lacks confidence Wallace can change his learned behaviour and cited concerns over maintaining a safe and respectful environment on flagship shows relying on host judgement.
- Wallace was banned from future BBC work, faces legal action alleging discrimination due to autism, and the case highlights challenges in managing neurodivergent employees while protecting workplace safety.
