Gregg Wallace Faces Allegations of Inappropriate Behavior

Gregg Wallace, co-host of BBC's MasterChef, is facing serious allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior from 13 women over a span of 17 years, including accusations of making sexual jokes and groping. His co-host John Torode has not publicly supported him amidst these allegations, which has reportedly caused tension between the two, leading Wallace to unfollow Torode on social media. Notably, a past restaurant review by Marina O’Loughlin criticized Wallace's now-closed restaurant, Gregg’s Table, as a culinary disaster. Journalist Michael Odell, who had lunch with Wallace two years prior, recounted the TV personality's use of sexual innuendos during their conversation, reflecting a pattern of behavior that aligns with the recent accusations. Wallace has denied the allegations, which have prompted him to step down from his role on MasterChef during an ongoing internal investigation. The situation highlights a complex mix of professional relationships and personal conduct within the entertainment industry.
