Gregg Wallace Steps Down Amid Misconduct Allegations

Gregg Wallace is set to be replaced on MasterChef by food critic Grace Dent, following multiple allegations of misconduct against him, which have led the BBC to pull its Christmas specials and initiate an investigation. Dent, known for her outspoken opinions and extensive food industry experience, is seen as a strong candidate to reinvigorate the show after the troubling situation with Wallace. Sources indicate that Dent's appointment will not only bring a fresh perspective but also increase female representation among the show's judges. Wallace has denied the allegations, claiming the accusations are unfounded and stemming from a select group of individuals. The official announcement of Dent's role is expected soon, as producers aim to stabilize the show amid the ongoing controversy. Dent previously participated in I'm a Celebrity and has been a familiar face on MasterChef as a guest judge.
