Apparently, in addition to him being the "true victim" in the BBC's investigation (see his statement of yesterday on Instagram where "nothing was done to investigate my disability" or "protect me from...a dangerous environment"), his "friends" now claim that incidents such as him opening doors with a sock on his penis while he shouted "hooray" were due to his autism which, in turn, meant he couldn't wear underwear.

I have no words other than to say I know quite a few autistic people. Not one of them behaves as, or uses autism to excuse being, a sex pest.

Whoever is doing his crisis PR has really pulled out all the stops.

Gregg Wallace’s autism means he can’t wear underwear, say friends

Sources close to ex-MasterChef presenter claim he has ‘hypersensitivity’ to tight clothing and his condition is partly to blame for his inappropriate behaviour

Ironically when the allegations first appeared he strenuously denied he had autism. Now its the cause of all his problems?? Convenient.....😳

In this situation you should always listen to your lawyers first.

If you're thinking of deploying the Neil Gaiman defence of "I didn't do it and even if I did it's all the fault of those lying bitches for taking advantage of my autism"... you should probably ask yourself how that's working out for Mr Gaiman.

What a cunt he is.

Feel sorry for his dimbo teenager wife who clearly backed the wrong horse. She always looks so unhappy in pictures, like a hostage.

We have an autistic child and when this popped up on the Times app it gave DH and I the best laugh we’ve had all day.

So - so I truly understand - he cannot bear the tightness of underwear but is entirely happy to stick a sock on his cock?

Black humour aside, it’s just fucking insulting to autistic people. The odd misjudged joke? Maybe. Dropping your trousers? Give over.

Honestly my son has autism and clothing has been an issue but he was taught at a young age no-one wants to see it we keep it covered yes his clothing at home is a bit baggy to give him more freedom but everything is covered and PRIVATE

Ds works at a level way below his peers possibly around 6/7 years at best (half his age for context) is gregg Wallace seriously trying to convince people he is less mature and has less mental capabilities than a 12 year old autistic child with severe learning difficulties?

I'm not buying it

Apparently he was told by a top lawyer not to blame the women.

So he's got to blame someone else, because god forbid he actually took responsibility for his own actions.

It's so insulting to anyone else who is autistic.

It would not matter if he wore pants or not if he could keep his trousers on at work.

Nothing was done to protect him from acting very inappropriately. Says it all really.

How's he wearing shoes if he doesn't like tight clothes? How come he's got socks if he doesn't like underwear?

Reminds me of a story a long while back of a guy in Italy I think it was who was up in court on rape charges. His defense was he tripped and fell into the woman.

He is upset that the BBC is not a safe space for his cock

🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏

I find programmes about how things are made fascinating - but could not bear to watch him - constant innuendo. This before all these accusations came to light. Silly man. Could the BEEB not see what a pain he was?
