MasterChef star Gregg Wallace has spoken out for the first time about allegations against him of inappropriate sexual comments.

After an attempt by the BBC to clean up their workplace culture, it seems another of their stars has come under fire for alleged 'inappropriate' comments, specifically made to female staff.

The MasterChef judge was accused of inappropriate sexual comments while featuring on Impossible Celebrities in 2018.

The household name reportedly removed his top, and bragged about sexual encounters he had experienced.

He was accused of similar actions on a different, more recent, show in 2023.

While appearing on Inside The Factory, he allegedly had a rude manner, and made insulting comments to women on the show.

The TV personality has now addressed the rumours himself, profusely denying the claims made against him.

Taking to Instagram, he said: "With reference to what's in the newspapers, these allegations were investigated by the BBC six years ago - and my comments were found to be not sexual. I repeat not sexual. Thank you."

And it's not the first time the BBC have been in hot water this year for continuing to employee highly-paid talent, despite concerns.

BBC primetime newsreader Huw Edwards, who pleaded guilty to indecent images of children, is just one example.

They alleged: "The BBC say they are keen to clear up issues around workplace culture, but have allowed Gregg to remain on a flagship show despite allegations about his conduct.

"Gregg was accused of making inappropriate comments to a younger, female member of the production team."

They added: "He is said to have been boasting about his sex life with his partner at the time.

"At one point, Gregg was also accused of taking his top off in front of the woman which felt inappropriate.

"Gregg appeared to think it was all just banter and is also said to have made some comments in front of the live audience."

Following complaints, the source claims that the BBC then held a meeting with Gregg to discuss his actions.

The source continued: "He made it clear that he didn’t mean anything by what he said."

However, following the intervention, the the star was consequently told to 'change his behaviour' moving forward.
