Yep, he's in trouble now. It will be the Archbishop of Canterbury next.

Are the reasons for his suspension any worse than what Pop Bitch has been reporting for years now?

Wallace told stories and jokes of a “sexualised nature” in front of contestants and crew. She said she felt strongly that the comments were “really, really in the wrong place”.

“There were two occasions in particular where he used sexualised language in front of a number of people and it wasn’t as if anyone engaged with this,” she said. “It was completely one-way traffic. But I think people were uncomfortable and something that I really did not expect to happen.”

Other people told the broadcaster that Wallace talked openly about his sex life, once took his top off in front of a female worker saying he wanted to “give her a fashion show”, and told a junior female colleague he wasn’t wearing any boxer shorts under his jeans.

I really like the fact it's Kirsty Wark breaking the omerta. Even if it took her 13 years.

Sounds like he’s a non media trained bloke from SE London born in the 60’s talking to lifetime BBC employees like he would his mates down the pub or market

Quite unacceptable behaviour from a classically trained Michelin star chef that I presume he is working on that show.

I quite often have to sit on disciplinary panels at work. I have heard all kinds of excuses and justifications for unacceptable behaviour, including on one memorable occasion that witchcraft must have been involved. I have, however, never had someone justify their behaviour by saying that's how they behave with their mates in the pub and they are too working class to understand the difference between what might be acceptable there and what is acceptable during working hours.

Cool story, I wasn’t excusing or justifying anything he’d done.

It was a joke about how unqualified he was for the show, well done for missing the point

Bet none of them have ever used 'lifetime BBC employees' as a reason why the complaints have been made.

At least he's still got his strides on in that pic. Was just reading that he sometimes walked around the studio naked apart from a sock on his penis

The most worrying thing is that clearly, initial issues being raised are brushed off and dismissed until someone really fights to get taken seriously.

Apparently he was warned about his conduct then just carried on as before

I’m sure there will be a culture change at the BBC after this.

The heavyweights and thought leaders of British society are weighing in. Greg's got no chance now.

"Rod Stewart, whose wife, Penny Lancaster, appeared on Celebrity MasterChef in 2021, used his Instagram account later on Thursday to comment on Wallace’s break from the show. Calling him a “tubby, bald-headed, ill-mannered bully”, Stewart said Wallace had humiliated his wife.

He wrote: “So Greg [sic] Wallace gets fired from Master Chef. Good riddance Wallace … You humiliated my wife when she was on the show, but you had that bit cut out didn’t you? You’re a tubby, bald-headed, ill-mannered bully. Karma got ya. Sir Rod Stewart.”
