Fresh Gregg Wallace allegations from three women who worked on BBC MasterChef
Gregg Wallace has now been accused of groping three women as the BBC MasterChef host faces a fresh flood of claims and allegations. One former contestant even alleged he groped her while she was cooking on the set of the show as the cameras rolled.
Wallace has stepped down from MasterChef while allegations of misconduct are investigated. Now, the woman, who is staying anonymous and has asked not to be named, claims Gregg shouted “you stupid cow” and she “had her card marked” for not seeing it as banter.
A second accused Wallace of telling her he was aroused by her presence, before groping her bum. “He put his hands on my hips, moved to the back of me, and pressed into me. I made an ‘Eeew’ sound, and stepped forward," she said.

"It was my instant reaction. But it set his mangy teeth on edge and he moved on without saying anything. I wanted him to know you don’t play this game. I was thinking I’ve prepared so long for this competition and it’s in his hands whether I go through.
“But at the same time I’m not going to prostitute myself for any cooking show." She told the Sun newspaper: "It felt with him like you comply or you’re not going to do very well. I didn’t do very well. At that point he decided to be an absolute b****d.
"Moments later I scalded myself. I turned on the tap incorrectly, burning my hands. “I couldn’t help shrieking. It really hurt. He was a few paces away, heard me, and shouted, ‘You stupid f***ing cow’. It was awful. He offered no assistance. I wanted to cry.
"My hands were hurting but it was more the shock of somebody behaving that way. It’s not natural." She went on, telling the newspaper: “At that time I didn’t know if he was married. But I thought if this man’s got a wife, God help her.”
A third and final complaint has emerged from Emma Kennedy, who says she reported Gregg 12 years ago.
