Jack Whitehall Critiques Gregg Wallace on The One Show

During his appearance on The One Show, comedian Jack Whitehall made a series of pointed jokes about MasterChef host Gregg Wallace, who is currently facing allegations of misconduct, including inappropriate sexual comments from 13 women. Whitehall, promoting his Christmas special 'Jack In Time For Christmas,' referred to a demographic he admires as 'middle-class women of a certain age,' which Wallace had previously dismissed in his own controversial remarks. The comments left hosts Roman Kemp and Alex Jones visibly stunned as Whitehall quipped about the appeal of Michael Bublé to this demographic, suggesting they were a 'lovely gift.' Wallace has stepped back from his duties amid the ongoing investigation, and his lawyers deny the allegations, calling them false. While some found Whitehall's humor amusing, others criticized it as insensitive given the serious nature of the allegations against Wallace. The incident has sparked mixed reactions from viewers, highlighting the tension surrounding the situation.
