I can’t stand the bloke but I believe the independent review has clarified it’s just inappropriate language he’s been found guilty of from 2005-2018 Now I know we all said stuff back in 2005 that was risqué but would now be deemed highly inappropriate. Maybe less so on 2018
so is it right to judge what someone has said 20 years ago by today’s standards?
as I say I don’t like him so don’t care either way but he’s certainly coming out swinging. This may set a precedent
Trouser dropping/exposure in an inappropriate environment, you just can’t & shouldn’t get away with. You can argue all day long why these women didn’t do more about it at the time. Maybe they did & realised quickly once the ‘it’s hardly Jimmy Saville stuff’ was the reply, where their complaints were going 🙄

I didn’t know that happened. What a fucking muppet he is
It's crazy how many people in the entertainment industry turn out to be total wrong 'uns. Maybe the people who seek celebrity are the ones who want to abuse it. And yet here we are, living in a modern age where celebrities sit on top of the prestige pile and enjoy more reverence than ever. Somewhere in this industry they mistake fame for merit. They keep showeringTV presenters with obscene pay packets for a job almost anyone with half a personality could do. Just look at normal people, going on reality TV, and then turning into prime-time TV hosts. That tells you how replaceable all of these people are.

This is true, but i believe this review was over the 13 original people that complained. Since then a further FIFTY more people have come forward.
He was hired 20 years ago as the cheeky chappie grocer alongside the Chef John Torode as the yin and Yan in a genre that was proving popular. The 21st century has had a shift thankfully and Wallace crossed the line if the allegation are true of groping and dropping the trousers.
The BBC again have created a monster even if not in the depraved levels of the sick pervert Savile who because of 'friends' in high places was allowed to carry on unfettered.
The thing about Gregg Wallace, is that he's a professional (unt. Once you accept that about him, it's much easier to ignore every single piece of evidence that he exists and just get on with your life.

I don't know whether or not he even likes football.
All I can say is, he's also probably a dickhead Chelsea fan.

Think the title of this thread gives away who he supports.

The classic interview with him is doing the rounds again on twitter. Highlights include:
The gym opening early especially for him. Eating breakfast at 10.30 and lunch at 12. Didn't want to do anything around the house, so moved his mother-in-law in. Devotes 1.5 hours in a whole day to the son he didn't want, but spends 2 hours playing a computer game.
The remark on here that pricked my ears up, was that he was something of an 'Amateur Historian'. Did he spend hours trawling through 'Hansard', reliving the debates of our parliamentary titans? Was Mr Wallace ploughing through the acclaimed biography of Pitt the Younger by William Hague? Indeed was Greg spending hours trawling the streets of London, examining the rich histories of our architecture? None of the above, he was in fact playing soldiers on a computer upstairs! What an absolute bullshit merchant.
I thought he had left the BBC a while back but it tuns out he has recently been sacked. When was his last pay day? Cheeky rascal got very lucky in life with no obvious talent apart from playing the opposite character to Torode's. 20 years of presenter contracts and at the age of 60 I bet he ain't to disappointed financially. I must be one of the few people who has never watched a Master Chef, I do however know and recognise Greg Wallace. We've all met, worked with or know these loud mouth bores and generally they are easily swerved but every now and again they make break through and are very difficult shake lose. Like Greg they become the centre of attraction, people hang on their every word like they are actually intelligent, their thoughts and musings are insightful. The reality is they are not quite as fun to be with as they actually are.

He opened up about being molested or groomed when he was an early teen etc.
I'm not ruling it out - its just ...he's not a very believable dignified likable kind of bloke.
He requires a sob story as an excuse to be a twat.
BBC have a whole series of Masterchef recorded that'll now never see the light of day.....gotta feel a bit for the contestant who won it and would've changed their life on the back of it

Can't they just pixelate him and redact everything he says?

They should do what comedy central did when south park portrayed Mohammad they hid him behind a giant "cencership" sign. Maybe BBC could do the same but with a giant spanner.

Haha, Crikey I'm not on earth today.
Well, at least I was close
While his kids are abandoned and locked in his garden shed - forced to read his autobiography

The BBC now feel forced to pretend that they care about sexual abuse.
It will override any kind of logic or fairness.
