Investigation Launched into Gregg Wallace Misconduct Claims

MasterChef presenter Gregg Wallace is currently under investigation by a London law firm, Lewis Silkin, due to allegations of sexual misconduct from at least 13 individuals spanning 17 years. Accusations against Wallace include making inappropriate sexual comments, groping colleagues, and exhibiting sexually suggestive behavior during filming. Wallace has stepped down from his role on the show and is cooperating with the investigation, while his lawyers have denied the allegations, stating they are entirely false. Banijay UK, the show's production company, has urged anyone with further concerns to come forward and has committed to handling all information sensitively and confidentially. The investigation follows a BBC News report detailing various claims, including inappropriate jokes and comments made by Wallace towards staff and guests. Wallace's social media activity has continued amidst the inquiry, where he expressed gratitude for public support.
