Gregg Wallace Faces Misconduct Allegations

Gregg Wallace, a host of MasterChef, is embroiled in controversy over allegations of inappropriate behavior, with at least 13 official complaints filed against him. The BBC has launched an external investigation, leading Wallace to step down temporarily. The situation has strained Wallace's relationship with co-host John Torode, who has remained silent, prompting Wallace to unfollow him on social media. Additionally, comedian Dom Joly's social media joke about Wallace has drawn mixed reactions. Prominent figures, including Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Prime Minister Keir Starmer, have criticized Wallace's conduct, labeling his comments as misogynistic. The BBC is reviewing its workplace culture in response to the allegations.
