MASTERCHEF’s Gregg Wallace has broken his silence on an investigation into his behaviour to a female BBC colleague.
The TV star spoke out today after The Sun revealed he was accused of making “inappropriate comments” on BBC game show Impossible Celebrities.
It was claimed Gregg, 59, took his top and bragged about romps in 2018 while married to wife Anne-Marie Sterpini.
Speaking on Instagram Live on Monday, Gregg admitted he made comments but insisted that they were not of a sexual nature.
He told his followers: “With reference to what’s in the newspapers, these allegations were investigated by the BBC six years ago.
“The allegations were investigations six years ago and my comments were found to be not sexual.
“I repeat, not sexual. Thank you everybody for your time.
“I don’t want anybody to misunderstand this and make it look like I was flirting with somebody. Nobody accused me of that and I never have.”
He went on: “Something else that I feel very strongly about, strong enough to be on here, nobody six years ago or since has accused me of flirting with anybody or hitting on anybody.
“And that’s important to me, and I say this for my wife Anna, who I’ve been true to and madly in love with since the day I met her.”
Last year he was also accused of being rude and insulting to women on Inside The Factory.
At the time, he said he had quit as host of the BBC series to focus on his autistic son, Sid.
