Wallace report substantiates 45 allegations
The Chronicle
|July 15, 2025
FORMER MasterChef presenter Gregg Wallace said he was “deeply sorry” for the distress his behaviour caused and said he “never set out to harm or humiliate” - after an external report published yesterday found 45 out of 83 allegations made against him during his time on the show were substantiated, including one allegation of “unwelcome physical contact”.

In November 2024 the show's production company, Banijay UK, announced that Wallace would step away from his role on MasterChef while historical allegations of misconduct were investigated.
The report, led by law firm Lewis Silkin, found that the “majority of the allegations against Mr Wallace (94%) related to behaviour which is said to have occurred between 2005 and 2018, with only one allegation substantiated after 2018.
