Former MasterChef Contestant Claims Gregg Wallace's "Sexual Comments" Probe is Just the "Tip of the Iceberg"

Allegations of Inappropriate Conduct

A former MasterChef contestant has come forward, alleging that Gregg Wallace's current "sexual comments" investigation is just scratching the surface of a larger issue. The ex-contestant, who chose to remain anonymous, described the show's environment as toxic and revealed thoughts of quitting on the first day.

Widespread Claims

Wallace is facing over a dozen accusations of making inappropriate sexual remarks, with claims extending beyond the presenter to include the production team. The contestant highlighted a systemic problem that went beyond Wallace, with other individuals also contributing to the uncomfortable atmosphere.

Additional Claims and Investigations

Not the only one to speak out, a previous Celebrity MasterChef contestant has also made allegations against Wallace. The broadcaster Kirsty Wark is among the 13 individuals who have raised concerns, prompting an investigation by MasterChef's production company, Banijay UK.

Previous Warnings Ignored

Aasmah Mir, a MasterChef contestant, revealed that she had alerted the BBC about Wallace's behavior seven years ago. Despite her complaints regarding inappropriate comments and sexist behavior, the situation reportedly persisted, leading Mir to express concerns about potential future incidents involving other women.
