Gregg Wallace, a longtime judge of the BBC’s hit cooking program “MasterChef,” has come under fire for comments he made over the weekend in response to sexual misconduct allegations brought against him by more than a dozen people who previously worked with the British television personality.
“I’ve been doing ‘MasterChef’ for 20 years—amateur, celebrity, and professional ‘MasterChef’—and I think in that time I have worked with over 4,000 contestants of all different ages, all different backgrounds, all walks of life,” Wallace, 60, said Sunday morning in a since-expired Instagram Story, per Sky News.
