Gregg Wallace trying to 'earn a living' after MasterChef exit amid 'battle every day'
Former MasterChef judge Gregg Wallace has spoken about the aftermath of his departure from the BBC show, including his decision to remain in the public eye amid the scandal Former MasterChef co-host Gregg Wallace has opened up about his decision to remain in the public eye following his departure from the show. The presenter spoke about the aftermath of the scandal in a video message this week. Last month, it was reported that Gregg, 60, had been fired from the BBC show after an investigation upheld 45 out of 83 allegations of inappropriate behaviour. He had previously said that the review exonerated him of "all the serious allegations" but he apologised for "inappropriate" humour and language. Gregg hasn't shied away from being in the spotlight since his departure, with him promoting other ventures on social media lately. It comes after John Torode's businesses collapsed after racking up eye-watering debts. Gregg, who lost five stone in his fifties, has been promoting his health and fitness coaching recently. He's offering one-to-coaching for £200 a month, as well as a running a Healthy Fifty plan for men over the age of 50 that aims to help members "feel better and look fitter" for £11.99 per month. He has since spoken about his decision to remain in the public eye. Gregg discussed his career in a video message that was uploaded to Instagram today, with him saying that he's "had to stay public" if he wants to "earn a living". Gregg said in the video shared this morning: "Social media can be really cruel, really angry, really rude - but we all know this! I'm getting attacked by people that have never read the report into the investigation and think I'm guilty of all sorts of things that simply are not true." He continued by telling viewers: "I had an autism diagnosis in January at 60 years old. I get attacked by people that somehow think I'm making it up. During this time, I've worked hard and got myself qualified as a PT. And I get attacked on that, where people think somehow it's not true." Gregg added in the message: "Every day it's just a battle against people that, I don't know, just really wanna attack you. However, there are also loads and loads of people that send kind messages and messages of support." Discussing why he hasn't shied away from the spotlight, he said: "And I could have hidden away. I didn't have to be on here. But I still want to earn a living and I decided with my family if I was gonna earn a living then I had to stay public." Concluding the video, Gregg told viewers: "So thank you to all the people that are kind and for those of you that aren't, just consider the impact before you say something cruel. Before you say something angry. And also, please try and do a little bit of research before you get angry over something that isn't true. But for everybody else, thank you." It had been announced last year that Gregg would step away from MasterChef whilst production company Banijay UK reviewed historical misconduct complaints. As reported at the time, through a lawyer, he said: "It is entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature." Then, last month, the BBC said it has "no plans" to work with him in the future" following the review into allegations about him. It said: "The investigation details a substantial number of allegations of inappropriate conduct spanning 19 years." Gregg had already issued a statement about the Silkin's Report. He said in advance that it "exonerates" him of "all the serious allegations which made headlines last year and finds [him] primarily guilty of inappropriate language between 2005 and 2018." He said in his statement released last month: "I recognise that some of my humour and language, at times, was inappropriate. For that, I apologise without reservation. But I was never the caricature now being sold for clicks."

Man accused of lighting cigarette from memorial flame arrested in France
A man who is accused of lighting a cigarette at a major war memorial has been arrested in Paris on Tuesday, according to a French government minister. It comes after a video posted on social media appears to show a man stooping and lighting up in the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, before calmly walking away in front of a group of bystanders. The incident has sparked outrage across France, with officials condemning it as an insult to the memory of fallen soldiers. France's Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau described the act as "indecent and pathetic". "The man who desecrated the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier by lighting a cigarette with the memorial flame was arrested in Paris for violating a burial site, tomb, urn, or monument erected in memory of the dead. He was taken into custody and admitted the facts," he wrote on X. The memorial, which was first unveiled in 1920, contains the remains of a soldier killed in the First World War and serves as a tribute to all of France's fallen troops. "You cannot ridicule French remembrance and get away with it," wrote Patricia Mirallès, Secretary of State for Veterans and Remembrance, on X. "This flame does not light a cigarette, it burns for the sacrifice of millions of our soldiers," said Miralles. "This is an insult to our dead, to our history and to our nation."

Djeidi Gassama brace puts much-changed Rangers in control against Viktoria Plzen
The Gers boss hit out at some of his squad following their deflating 1-1 draw at Motherwell on Saturday, questioning mentality, egos and application, and captain James Tavernier and midfielder Nicolas Raskin were the biggest names among the expected changes. Martin got the required reaction as winger Djeidi Gassama scored after 15 minutes with his third European goal in three ties before returning striker Cyriel Dessers added a second from the spot just before the interval. Gassama, signed this summer from Sheffield Wednesday, scored a third in the 51st minute to put the Govan side into a commanding lead and eventually a comfortable win. The Light Blues will be heavy favourites for the return game in the Czech Republic next Tuesday, with a play-off tie against Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg or Club Brugge of Belgium awaiting the winners. After pointing the finger at his under-performers at the weekend, all eyes were on Martin's team selection and he made significant changes. Along with Tavernier and Raskin – arguably Gers' best player last season – Danilo and Kieran Dowell were left out. New signing Oliver Antman, the Finland winger who joined from Go Ahead Eagles on Monday, made his debut – and was terrific – with left-back Jefte, midfielder Lyall Cameron and Dessers returning while John Souttar was named captain. The Ibrox crowd was more subdued than usual on a big European night, initially. In the seventh minute Plzen's lofty striker Rafiu Durosinmi headed a cross from Amar Memic past the post but it was Gassama who struck first, playing a one-two with Dessers at the edge of the visitors' box before confidently curling the ball past keeper Florian Wiegele. After Gers defender Nasser Djiga brilliantly blocked a goal-bound shot from visiting captain Matej Vydra, Antman's drive from a Gassama cut-back at the other end was cleared off the line by Vaclav Jamelka. Bizarrely Raskin, warming up on the sidelines, was booked by French referee Clement Turpin for apparently trying to interfere at a Plzen throw-in as the Czech side began to exert some pressure. However, when a driving run into the box by Antman ended with him being barged over by Vydra, referee Turpin pointed to the spot for a soft penalty and Dessers sent Wiegele the wrong way. Rangers started the second half strongly and within three minutes midfielder Mohamed Diomande struck the bar with an effort from the edge of the box. However, the third soon arrived as Gassama grabbed his second when he bulleted in a header from a pinpoint Antman cross from the right. There were occasional moments of sloppiness in the Gers ranks throughout the rest of the second half but they remained unpunished. Raskin, Danilo, and Tavernier all came off the bench when the job was done, before in the 83rd minute Gers keeper Jack Butland made a good save from a powerful drive from Memic. After the negativity of Fir Park, it was a more positive performance from the home side although there has to be much more to come from Martin's men.
