Gregg Wallace breaks silence: MasterChef star takes to social media after ‘stepping down over sexual feedback to 13 colleagues’

Gregg Wallace has broken his silence after he stepped down from MasterChef amid allegations he made ‘sexual comments to 13 colleagues’. 

The presenter, 60, thanked people for their support following the accusations that he mimicked a sex act in front of horrified colleagues and wandered into the MasterChef studio ‘completely naked’. 

He said in a statement on Instagram: ‘I would like to thank all the people getting in touch, reach out and showing their support.

‘That’s good of you, thank you very much.’

The Daily Telegraph says it has spoken to a witness who claims to have seen both these alleged incidents. 

Gregg was also ‘very touchy feely’, the newspaper quotes the witness as saying.

This is a breaking news story.
