As a middle-class woman of a certain age, all I can say is: ‘Thank you, Gregg Wallace’ | Zoe Williams
Gregg Wallace, accused of “inappropriate behaviour”, had stepped away from MasterChef and was keeping his head down while lawyers were engaged – on behalf of the production company, Banijay UK, and for Wallace himself.
