Gregg Wallace Accused of Racist Remarks

Gregg Wallace, the BBC presenter of MasterChef, is facing serious allegations of making racist remarks towards an Asian contestant during filming in 2017, including 'Kung fu noises' and phrases like 'me so horny'. A former staff member has come forward with a formal complaint to the BBC, stating that Wallace's comments were made after the contestant walked off set and were perceived as offensive by the crew. The allegations extend beyond racism, with a total of 13 complaints about Wallace's behavior over 17 years, including inappropriate sexual remarks and misconduct. As a result of these allegations, Wallace has stepped down from his role on MasterChef while an investigation is conducted. The complaints have prompted reactions from various parties, including a remark from Downing Street describing the allegations as 'deeply concerning'. Wallace's history of misconduct has raised serious questions about the culture on the set of MasterChef and the treatment of staff.
