Gregg Wallace accused of inappropriate behaviour in letter sent to BBC in 2022

Woman who complained about MasterChef presenter says lack of action shows there is ‘no satisfactory means of reporting sexual harassment and bullying within the TV industry’

A letter containing multiple allegations of inappropriate behaviour by Gregg Wallace was sent to the BBC in 2022, but did not prompt further investigation at the time, the Observer can reveal.

The letter described a “pattern of behaviour” by the MasterChef presenter which “clearly fails to meet the sexual harassment and bullying standards that prohibit ‘Unwelcome sexual advances and sexual innuendo’”.
