Gregg Wallace 'sorry' but says he's 'not a groper'
Published: 7/25/2025

Former MasterChef host Gregg Wallace apologizes for any hurt caused but denies being a groper amidst upheld allegations. Wallace was sacked following a review affirming 45 claims against him, including physical contact and inappropriate behavior. The investigation, ordered by MasterChef's production company Banijay, followed initial claims reported by BBC News last year, with more than 50 individuals subsequently coming forward. Wallace attributes some of his comments to his background and autism diagnosis, but charities caution against using this as a defense, emphasizing it does not excuse inappropriate behavior.
