Gregg Wallace Says Sorry

Gregg Wallace says he is "deeply sorry for any distress" he caused, after 45 allegations about his behaviour on Masterchef were upheld. 

In a statement issued to the PA news agency, the TV presenter also said he "never set out to harm or humiliate". 

The upheld claims, which come after he was sacked from the programme, include one of unwelcome physical contact and another three of being in a state of undress. 

In total, the report says 83 allegations were made against the TV presenter, with the majority of the substantiated claims relating to inappropriate sexual language and humour, but also culturally insensitive or racist comments. 

The inquiry, conducted by an independent law firm, was ordered by MasterChef's production company Banijay in the wake of a BBC News investigation which first revealed claims of inappropriate sexual comments against Wallace. 

A decision has not yet been made about the new series of MasterChef which was filmed last year, with Wallace in it. 

Downing Street said it welcomed the fact the BBC had "severed ties" with Wallace. 

The Prime Minister's official spokesman added: "We're clear that appropriate steps must be taken to ensure abuses of power are prevented from happening in the future."
