Gregg Wallace latest: Net worth, wife Anne-Marie Sterpini, previous three wives, how many kids does he have?
A report by MasterChef's production company has found more than half of the allegations against Gregg Wallace have been upheld.
Banijay UK, MasterChef’s production company, has shared a summary of its report into Gregg Wallace’s behaviour, which shows that more than half of the allegations against him were substantiated, including one of “unwanted physical contact”. The report was carried out by independent law firm Lewis Silkin over a period of seven months.
Only last week, Gregg Wallace was sacked as presenter of BBC’s MasterChef. He was reportedly treated for a suspected ‘heart attack’ only days before the sacking.
Gregg Wallace took to Instagram and said at the time that “I have taken the decision to speak out ahead of the publication of the Silkins report- a decision I do not take lightly.
“But after 21 years of loyal service to the BBC, I cannot sit in silence while my reputation is further damaged to protect others.
“I have now been cleared by the Silkins report of the most serious and sensational accusations made against me.
“The most damaging claims (including allegations from public figures which have not been upheld) were found to be baseless after a full and forensic six-month investigation.
“My decision to go public now is also driven by the fact the BBC News division are intending to platform legally unsafe accusations, including claims which have already been investigated and not upheld by the BBC and found not credible by Silkins.
“The BBC is no longer providing blanched and impartial public service journalism. It is peddling baseless and sensationalised gossip masquerading as properly corroborated stories.
“The BBC is choosing to allow BBC News to run with this uncorroborated tittle tattle in an attempt to ‘get ahead’ of the Silkins summary report and derail what has been a n extremely thorough process.
“This feels to me like BBC News is chasing slanderous click-bait rather than delivering impartial journalism.
“To be clear, the Silkin’s Report exonerates me of all the serious allegations which made headlines last year and finds me primarily guilty of inappropriate language between 2005 and 2018.
“I recognise that some of my humour and language, at times, was inappropriate, For that, I apologise without reservation. But I was never the caricature now being sold for clicks.”
At the time of writing, Gregg Wallace has not posted an update on his Instagram.
