Apologies if there is already a thread on this?

See attached screenshots

Looks like people have really been waiting on his downfall 🤭🤭

(Obviously, I know it's a serious matter for those who've been victimised by the guy, not being dismissive of them)

Just seems like he's really pissed off his fellow celebs

Do you reckon he just stands grinning at people until they recognise him 🤭🤭

Harsh. He's actually quite nice. Tolerant.

I keep checking a friend's facebook page to see if she says anything as she's worked behind the scenes on a few series of MC now. Nothing so far - I'll report back if she does!

He sounds horrendous. I've always felt a bit weird about him and now I know I can trust my spidey senses!

Oo please do, she's a woman so no doubt she's got a story 🥺

I’m just relieved that ‘gregging’ involves hats and not, as my twisted mind imagined, wanking using a sausage roll as a fleshlight

Brilliant 🤣

Yup. I really hope Gino D'Acampo isn't a twat.

He'll be on YouTube doing Christmas cooking videos with wifey before you know it. Matching polo necks.

I think this is exactly what will happen

That video of him trying to defend himself was in such poor form

He's definitely gonna do a schofield eventually and spend time on a desert island

It's just jokes. There's no allegations of anything physical is there.

Tell me it ain't so about Gino. Confirm.

Exactly. Autistic people are hypersensitive about doing the right thing and would never, ever engage in that type of cruel behaviour. It’s really offensive to say that this is because of GW’s autism. His behaviour is the opposite of normal autistic behaviour.

Thats a ridiculous thing to say as if autistic people are all just one lump together, Ive worked with and met lots of people with autism who have been cruel to others and acted in ways that initmidated and frightened others. Same for people without autism.

He admitted that ages ago and went on about it. Come on

Sorry to derail, but if you've never seen the footage of a half cut Sir Rod helping with the Scottish Cup draw then I urge you to do so now. It's comedy gold.

Greg Wallace is younger than me. There is no excuse (not that there ever really was) for it being part of the "cultural climate" he's always known as he's lived through the decades where this sort of behaviour has rightly become unacceptable.

Again, it's left to the women subjected to his behaviour to have to come forward and bring it to light. Do the men he works with, who must know about at least some of this, really think it's OK? It reminds me of the situation with Weinstein, where I know of precisely 2 men who called him out (Robert Lindsay and Brad Pitt) , apologies if there are more. I suppose in HW's case he was an uber powerful Hollywood moghul. I can't see what makes GW special or important in any way, shape or form.

Did Robert lindsay call him out before the me too movement? 👀👀

I've always liked his politics, still follow him on twitter

Ps. I have seen a number of abusive, manipulative men claiming to be autistic. If he does trot it out, he wont be the first. But the vast majority of autistic men I have met (and it is a lot) are very focused on right and wrong and would never dream of doing things like this.

Again this sterotyping does no one any good. Ive worked with a lot of men who are autistic (clients) and one thing a lot of them had in common is a high sense of what THEY think is right or wrong and what THEY think they are entitled to. That may not accord with the norms of the rest of society

Same as the NT population, there are all sorts of traits.

Yup, so many pearl clutchers on here who have no idea what they're talking about and claiming all autistic people are saints. The reality is they're just like anyone else. Ive spent a lot of time working with service users with autism and there were several with sexualised behaviours.

Just had to Google Matt Tebett as I thought he was a cabinet minister somewhere and couldn't understand what he had to do with the BBC! Safe to say I'm not as up on my chefs as I like to think 🤣.

Me too, i just googled and then said 'oh, this guy' 😄

Just banter, eh? These women just don't have a sense of humour. They should unclench. Far more important for a middle-aged man in a position of power to say whatever he likes and fix his gaze at any part of a woman's body he wants than for the women he works with to feel comfortable and safe and respected.

FFS.

Oh he's done a phil schofield and come out as autistic to avoid responsibility for his actions!!

Did Philip Scofield say the same? I dont remember that

LOL have you ever watched Loose Women where the roles are reversed?! Middle aged women in position of power overload.

@MumOfOneAllAlone Baffles me why more people don't see it, or how fake his accent is.

He's so fake! And childish and off-putting, it wouldn't surprise me is he was getting his willy out alongside john barrowman

When i watch him alongside Fred and Gordon Ramsey, I get the vibe Gordon is watching himself and being careful

No but it's the same "nothing to do with me guv, it's everyone else with the issue" kinda vibe he is giving off. PS claimed that all his critics were mean and homophobic and somehow managed to say it with a straight face too.

What a crock of absolute bollocks. Crisis PR at its “finest”.

And how fucking offensive to autistic people. I know a few people with autism and none of them are sex pests. You’ve got to have a lot of confidence to act as he (allegedly) did, so if anyone believes Greg’s behaviour is due to autism then I have some magic beans to sell you.

My dd is high needs autistic and I am also, although I have very low support needs

I'm disgusted. And also disgusted at how autism and people's mental health can be used in this way by pr teams
