The BBC said it would stop working with Mr. Wallace after dozens of sexual misconduct allegations were upheld.

"We welcome the publication of the findings by Lewis Silkin, following the investigation into the conduct of Gregg Wallace. In light of these findings, Banijay UK and the BBC have agreed Mr Wallace’s return to MasterChef is untenable. The BBC has informed Mr Wallace we have no plans to work with him in future.

The TV star has been fired after more than 50 people came forward with allegations, including ones of inappropriate sexual language, groping and racist comments.
