Gregg Wallace, the well-known MasterChef presenter, has tearfully denied allegations of inappropriate behaviour after the BBC decided to part ways with him. The 58-year-old TV personality insisted he is "not a groper" and expressed regret that 41 people felt hurt by his actions.
Wallace, who has been a staple on the BBC's MasterChef for years, faced backlash following claims of misconduct. In an emotional statement, he maintained his innocence, saying, "I would never intentionally make anyone uncomfortable."

Despite rumours of tension between the two hosts, Wallace's co-star John Torode has publicly supported him, dismissing suggestions of a rift. Torode emphasised that Wallace is "not a racist" and praised his professionalism.
The controversy has sparked debate about workplace conduct in the entertainment industry, with many questioning the BBC's handling of the situation. Wallace, meanwhile, remains hopeful for a return to television, stating, "I just want to move forward and focus on my career."
