Vanessa Feltz has become the latest star to speak out against Gregg Wallace, claiming he had described a sex act he had performed on his wife while in a BBC lift with her friend.The 60-year-old faces allegations from 13 people across a range of shows over a 17-year period, as reported by BBC News on Thursday, with many others since sharing their experiences. Speaking on her YouTube channel, Feltz recalled: “My friend did not know Greg Wallace. Had never met him before, and in the lift was a young girl who worked on another show.“So the three of them were going up in the lift together and completely unprompted Greg Wallace described a sex act that he had performed on his then-wife that morning.“So my friend had not met Greg Wallace before, hadn’t asked him about his sex life. Was simply taking him to participate in a BBC programme, and the young lady in the lift was just an innocent passenger.“So this is something that a very close friend and associate of mine told me about at the time. What did anyone do about it? Of course, absolutely nothing.”
