BBC says it is ‘untenable' for Gregg Wallace to host 'MasterChef' after sexual misconduct report
LONDON — The BBC said Monday it will no longer work with 'MasterChef' host Gregg Wallace after a report found that dozens of misconduct allegations made against the hit cooking show presenter were upheld. The report, led by a law firm, said 45 out of the 83 allegations made against Wallace during his time on the show between 2005 and 2018 were substantiated. It said the majority of the claims related to 'inappropriate sexual language and humor,' with one incident of unwelcome physical contact. Wallace, 60, stepped away from hosting the hit BBC reality show, which is made by an independent production company, last year while an investigation was launched into allegations made by multiple women that he made inappropriate sexual comments and behaved inappropriately over 17 years. The BBC has come under pressure over how it handles sexual misconduct allegations and how Wallace had continued to front some of its most popular shows for so long despite the complaints. The broadcaster issued a statement of apology, adding Wallace's 'return to MasterChef is untenable.' 'The BBC has informed Mr Wallace we have no plans to work with him in future,' it said. 'Although the full extent of these issues were not known at the relevant time, opportunities were missed to address this behavior, both by the production companies running MasterChef and the BBC.' The broadcaster previously said that Wallace was warned by his employers after a complaint in 2018, and an internal investigation at the time found his behavior was 'unacceptable and unprofessional.' The latest investigation found that there was little or no formal training or clear escalation procedures in place for staff — many of those working on the show were freelancers — leading to underreporting and normalization of inappropriate behaviour. Wallace has strongly denied the claims. In December, he drew an angry backlash after he alleged that complaints about his behavior came from 'a handful of middle-class women of a certain age.' In a statement posted on his Instagram account last week, he said: 'I will not go quietly. I will not be cancelled for convenience. I was tried by media and hung out to dry well before the facts were established.' 'MasterChef' is one of the BBC's most popular and long-running competition shows, and has been adapted in other countries including 'MasterChef Australia.'

Trial date set for suspended Tory MP accused of Groucho club sex assaults
A suspended Tory MP accused of sexually assaulting two women at London's Groucho club will face trial next year. Patrick Spencer, MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich, allegedly cupped the breasts of two women over their clothes at the Soho private members' club on an evening in August 2023. A complaint was made to the club and a report made to police, and Spencer, 37, was interviewed by officers earlier this year. Spencer, who denies two counts of sexual assault, appeared at Southwark Crown Court on Monday wearing a dark suit, blue tie and black-rimmed glasses. Prosecutor Polly Dyer told a previous hearing that the first woman 'felt Mr Spencer put his arms under her arms' before he 'cupped her breasts over the clothing', having interacted with him earlier in the evening while he 'seemed to be intoxicated'. Of the second woman, the prosecutor said 'he moved behind her and also cupped her breasts with his hands over clothing'. Ms Dyer added that neither woman consented to the alleged touching. Lawyers acting for the MP have previously said he 'categorically denies the charges' against him, adding: 'He has co-operated fully with the police investigation from the moment he became aware of it and he will defend the allegations robustly in court.' Spencer's trial date was set for July 13 2026. Judge Tony Baumgartner said his home address would continue to be withheld from the court while he considers the application. The politician, who lives in Suffolk, was suspended from the Conservative Party and had the whip withdrawn after the charges were brought. Spencer was first elected to Parliament last year with a majority of 4,290. He previously worked in finance for private equity firm IPGL, a company chaired by his father, former Conservative Party treasurer Lord Michael Spencer. He later took a job at the Centre for Social Justice think thank and then became a senior adviser at the Department for Education. He made his maiden speech in the Commons in July last year during a debate on the MPs' code of conduct relating to second jobs, during which he said the 'most important thing to the people across my constituency' was 'restoring a sense of moral probity and public spiritedness to our political system'.

FALL RIVER — A fire at Gabriel House assisted living center has resulted in 'multiple fatalities and multiple injuries' according to Fall River Fire Chief Jeffrey Bacon. Bacon said Fall River Fire Department crews responded to the fire at about 9:30 p.m. Sunday, July 13. When crews arrived on scene they saw heaving fire and multiple people hanging out of the windows looking to be rescued. He said multiple people were rescued from the apartment and transported to local hospitals for treatment. "Unfortunately at this time we have multiple fatalities and multiple injuries and we are still working to get those numbers to you," Bacon said at a press conference at about 12:45 a.m. Five Fall River firefighters were transported to area hospitals as well with minor injuries. According to an official on scene, there were about 69 residents of the apartment complex at 261 Oliver St. off South Main Street in the city's South End. There were sprinkers in the Fall River Mayor Paul Coogan said the city opened the Timao Center shelter on Bay Street and residents who were evacuated were being sent to the shelter for the evening. The fire department has set up a family reunification center at Saint Anne's Hospital in the chapel. They are asking that anyone who goes there looking for information about a loved one should enter through the Emergency Department of the hospital. Bacon said about 50 firefighters responded to the multiple-alarm fire and mutual aid was called in to cover the station. "The fire attack was very quick, it was just a very smokey fire," said Bacon. "Our heart goes out to all the families and people that were injured here and lost their lives here," said Bacon. Over the next few hours, Bacon said investigators from the FRFD and State Fire Marshal's Office will be on scene investigating the cause of the fire. Coogan praised the coordinated effort of the fire and police departments, emergency medical assistance in responding to the fire.
