For anyone wanting to carry it on, as I’m sure there will be more people coming forward.

I recommend watching the full Victoria Derbyshire interview with the arsehole’s Ghostwriter (currently on YouTube). His behaviour has been extreme sexual harassment, with sexual assault. One example of a comment he made to her (a single mother whom had turned down other work for the job and signed a non-disclosure agreement) is “if you won’t sleep with me, will you lick my arsehole”? Any women defending him should be ashamed of themselves.

Not sure if anyone linked to this on the previous thread but I feel that TheManWhoHasItAll should be congratulated for his speedy response to Gregg Wallace's youtube video:

Middle class woman of a certain age sweatshirt

Just watched last night’s Newsnight interview. The worst part IMHO was the first time she met him to write his book. She said he answered the door wearing only a towel, insisted she come in and offered her a seat on the sofa while he got dressed, then came back and said the trousers he was going to wear were under the cushion where she was sitting, at which point he reached to grab them and dropped the towel to the floor right in front of her.

Weinstein territory.

Plus, don’t think I’ll ever be able to enjoy Eton Mess again.

Christ op I've just read your original starting post and fucking hell..... Where to begin? " We are all mothers here...." Yes and speaking as a mother of daughters it chills me to the core to hear you( a mother of sons?) justifying Greg's disgusting misogynistic behaviour but I suppose it does explain why the world is such a worrying place for women and girls. Do better, for fucks sake. And for the sake of my girls.

Sorry this is directed at the op of thread 1, not the innocent posters above!

For a minute there, I thought the original OP had started a second thread to reiterate her point.

@HansHolbein you might get other confused posters thinking that 😂

Exactly what I thought !

I see the bbc have put an article up with him explaining it not all true ! Ffs
how he has a autism dx and sadly lost his mother
its not all about him !

Article in the Guardian today in which, I summarise, GregG is very cross indeed with the BBC for failing to recognise his neurodive4sity and recently diagnosed autism for 20 years and failing to protect him. Basically says 'not my fault and it's not fair'.

Glad he has been sacked. If he faces criminal charges, so much the better.

sorry he is a creepy fucker and I do not want to watch him on television

The Telegraph also reported Wallace was preparing to sue the BBC for discrimination. The 60-year-old has revealed a recent autism diagnosis. In a statement early this week, he accused the BBC of failing “to investigate my disability or protect me from what I now realise was a dangerous environment for over 20 years”.

Altogether now, middle class, middle aged women - the main audience for Masterchef I think? It's our last opportunity, after shouting at the tv for so many years, "Shut Up GregG". And FofF as well.
