Shamed Gregg Wallace apologises over ‘middle-class women of a certain age’ comments
EMBATTLED MasterChef presenter Gregg Wallace apologised today after claiming that complaints about his behaviour came from “a handful of middle-class women of a certain age.”
The 60-year-old’s response to various allegations, including that that had made “inappropriate sexual jokes,” sparked a furious backlash at the weekend.
Downing Street described the comments as “misogynistic” and former Celebrity MasterChef contestants Ulrika Jonsson, Kirstie Allsopp and Emma Kennedy also criticised them.
