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'.
