Gregg Wallace

It's quite a good watch and as much as I don't like him..it's probably not a good idea replacing him.  Top Gear was never really the same after Clarkson and the others left...

Haven't heard anything so far that warrants him being cancelled.  He's a nob and sexist...that's part of the reason why he's watchable.

I've never watched it in my life so I'm not really bothered.

Used to watch it regularly, but these days I only Watch Masterchef the Professionals

Before last night's episode the continuity announcer said:

This programme contains scenes of Greg Wallace which some viewers may find disturbing

Bye bye ..

Gregg Wallace has been sacked as MasterChef presenter as a result of an inquiry into alleged misconduct, BBC News understands.
It comes as 50 more people have approached the BBC with fresh claims about the TV presenter - including allegations he groped one MasterChef worker and pulled his trousers down in front of another. Wallace denies the claims.

"I will not go quietly. I will not be cancelled for convenience. I was tried by media and hung out to dry well before the facts were established."

But the weight of evidence of (minimally) very creepy behaviour is so strong that it doesn't really matter, in terms of being "hung out to dry", whether more serious allegations are true or not. He'd do well just to stop digging and go away.

He's played the 'neuro-diversity' card - autism

Is there anyone who isn't these days?

Now Torode has been binned..

Well, he can play the 'Aussie' card. Being uncultured and rude is in their DNA. Should appeal

Apparently Torode has just taken to social media to report that he's heard nothing.....from anyone. I'd wager that he's not been 'sacked' by the BBC (as reported on MSM). Was he ever employed by them? Masterchef is made by a TV production company so they may have employed him. I think the BBC have made a decision not to commission any more shows featuring John but are trying to deceive licence payers that they are taking a hard line over his indiscretion.
I think they are essentially lying to Joe Public to save Tim Davie's skin. He's the one that needs to be fired. And then stop the telly tax.
