Other broadcasters Vanessa Feltz, 63, and Kirstie Allsopp, 53, also made complaints. Gregg - who admitted thinking about suicide "all the time" after the historic allegations were made - has now hit out at ex-pal Vanessa and the other women as he awaits results of the probe. Gregg told Mail+ of Kirsty: "I thought we got on. She made it to the final three, so we were together for three months. I can clearly remember drinking champagne with her at the end of the show and sharing jokes. "I hadn't seen the complaint so I didn't know what it was. I thought, 'What have I done?' I literally didn't understand it." Gregg added: "Vanessa Feltz really knocked me for six. She had a story from a friend of hers who said she'd overheard me saying something sexual in a lift. "I've always got on well with Vanessa. I've been on her show. We even swapped messages on social media." 'I'm thinking, 'Really, Vanessa, you're weighing in with something someone else told you that I was supposed to have said in a lift? I thought you liked me'." He slammed at Kirstie's allegations, after she claimed he had told her a story about "sex act that and his partner had enjoyed every morning" while they waited a green room together before filming for a pilot. Gregg insisted he did not say that because he had only ever tried the "sex act" once when he was 28 and "didn't like it". Gregg Wallace thrust his groin at my face THREE TIMES while I crouched at oven on Masterchef - he's vile, says traumatised contestant Banijay UK arranged for him to be supported by a crisis mentor who insisted he had a mental health screening. Gregg was diagnosed with profound autism. Gregg was accused of making sexual remarks to 13 colleagues including Beeb anchor Kirsty Wark - accusations he denies. Results of the investigation are set to be revealed next month.
