Gregg Wallace fronted BBC cookery show 'Masterchef' until 2024 BBC
Former BBC presenter Gregg Wallace has defended himself in his first interview since stepping down from his hosting duties following complaints about his behavior and language behind the scenes.
Wallace left his high-profile hosting gig on the BBC’s MasterChef in November 2024, and this weekend he told the Daily Mail newspaper the “tidal wave of abuse” he received left him considering suicide, thinking, “Is my insurance up to date? Will [Wallace’s wife] Anna get some money? She doesn’t deserve this. It would be better if I wasn’t here.”
An investigation by BBC News – which works independently of the BBC’s programme makers – revealed allegations o f inappropriate sexual comments by 13 people who had worked with Wallace across a range of shows, over a 17-year-period.

He told the Daily Mail he’d realised about seven years ago that the brash, energetic, outspoken greengrocer persona he first brought to his hosting duties was no longer appropriate, and he changed. He also referred to his recent autism diagnosis of which, he said, “I’m not blaming my behaviour on my diagnosis, but it does explain a hell of a lot to me.”
MasterChef‘s production company Banijay has also launched an inquiry into the historical allegations. Both investigations have yet to report their findings.
When he stood down while the BBC investigated the claims, Wallace arguably made things worse for himself by posting a video on social media, in which he said “the allegations came from ‘a handful of middle-class women of a certain age.”
At that point, even the UK prime minister Sir Keir Starmer called the presenter’s remarks “inappropriate and misogynistic.”
The BBC has since announced that the show will return with Wallace replaced by restaurant critic Grace Dent.

 — Novak Djokovic lost to Matteo Arnaldi in the opening round of the Madrid Open on Saturday, extending the 24-time Grand Slam winner's struggles on clay ahead of Roland Garros.
Arnaldi won 6-3, 6-4, delaying Djokovic’s search for a career 100th title.
Djokovic also lost his opener to Alejandro Tabilo at the Monte Carlo Masters two weeks ago.
It was the first meeting between Djokovic and 44th-ranked Arnaldi of Italy.
Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva reached the last 16 for the third straight year by defeating Magdalena Frech 7-5, 6-3.
The 17-year-old Andreeva, ranked No. 7, has yet to lose before the Madrid fourth round.
She reached that stage for the first time in 2023 while playing as a wild card in her second WTA main draw. Last year, her first big quarterfinals came in the Spanish capital.
“I was very, very nervous,” Andreeva said. “I still struggle to find my best tennis in Madrid. Super happy that I could manage to play consistent throughout the whole match.”
Andreeva, who will turn 18 on Tuesday, will next face Ukrainian qualifier Yuliia Starodubtseva, who defeated 18th-seeded Liudmila Samsonova in three sets.
