Gregg's Frustration
Gregg Wallace is reportedly furious with his MasterChef co-host John Torode for not speaking out in his defense amidst a wave of allegations about his conduct. Friends of Gregg claim he is upset that John has remained silent following bombshell claims from high-profile stars including Sir Rod Stewart, Kirsty Wark, and Ulrika Jonsson.
Public Show of Annoyance
Gregg, 60, has taken a public stand by unfollowing John, 59, and his wife Lisa Faulkner on Instagram, showcasing his irritation with the situation. A source close to Gregg shared that he is convinced he has done nothing wrong and is deeply disappointed by John's silence.
The History Between Gregg and John
Despite hosting MasterChef together since 2005, John and Gregg have had a tumultuous relationship. John, who was the best man at Gregg's wedding in 2016, publicly distanced himself from Gregg the following year, stating that they have never been close friends.
Allegations and Fallout
Recent allegations against Gregg have led to his stepping down from MasterChef as the production company launches an investigation. Complaints from several women, including Kirsty Allsopp and Aasmah Mir, have shed light on Gregg's behavior while working on BBC shows between 2005 and 2022.
Continued Partnership
Despite the controversy, John has already filmed this year's MasterChef Christmas special with Gregg, and the episode is set to air as planned. The future of their on-screen partnership remains to be seen amidst the ongoing developments.
