Penny Lancaster to Cooperate in Wallace Investigation

Penny Lancaster has expressed her willingness to go to authorities regarding incidents filmed during her time on Celebrity MasterChef with Gregg Wallace, who has stepped down amidst allegations of historic misconduct. Accusations against Wallace, who has denied making inappropriate sexual comments, have been made by several individuals including Ulrika Jonsson and Rod Stewart, with a BBC investigation currently underway. Sir Rod Stewart publicly criticized Wallace, labeling him a 'tubby, bald-headed, ill-mannered bully' and referring to an incident where Lancaster felt humiliated on the show. An old clip resurfaced showing Lancaster struggling with her dish, which Wallace criticized, leading to emotional distress during the competition. While Lancaster is not planning to speak publicly, she is open to cooperating with the investigation conducted by production company Banijay. The misconduct allegations include inappropriate comments and behavior reported by various colleagues over the years.
