Gregg Wallace returns to social media months after MasterChef scandal Former ‘MasterChef’ host stepped back from the programme following allegations of inappropriate sexual comments.
Addressing the allegations, he initially said: “I’ve been doing MasterChef for 20 years, amateur, celebrity and professional MasterChef, and I think, in that time, I have worked with over 4,000 contestants of all different ages, all different backgrounds, all walks of life.
Wallace went silent on social media in late 2024 but returned to Instagram four months later on Tuesday (4 February) with a video recipe tutorial for making protein pancakes.
However, when Wallace faced backlash for the “middle class woman” comments, he said: “I want to apologise for any offence that I caused with my post yesterday, and any upset I may have caused to a lot of people.
Shannon Kyle, who ghostwrote Wallace’s memoir Life On A Plate, also claimed Wallace touched her bottom during a television appearance and frequently rubbed her thigh whenever he changed gears in his car.
