Gregg Wallace has apologised for saying allegations of inappropriate behaviour were made by “middle-class women of a certain age”, claiming he felt “under siege”. Wallace said in a video posted on Instagram that he was “not in a good place” and he is “under a lot of stress”.

Gregg Wallace, co-host of the wildly popular BBC show MasterChef, has apologized on social media for his response to the misconduct allegations that have been leveled against him. "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.

Television presenter Aggie MacKenzie, who competed on “Celebrity MasterChef” in 2011, told ITV on Monday that Wallace made “endless smutty jokes” and alleged that “he’s been allowed to carry on in his own sweet way for many, many years.”
