London: So, guess who popped back on our screens? Yep, it’s Gregg Wallace! He made a surprise appearance in a Channel 5 documentary about that crazy cold snap back in 2018. Fans were pretty shocked to see him again after he had been off-air for a while.
Gregg, who’s 60, had taken a step back from his BBC gigs while dealing with some serious allegations. He’s been under investigation for claims of abusive behavior during his time on MasterChef. Even though he’s denied any wrongdoing, it’s been a rough patch for him.
His absence was felt, especially since the festive specials were put on hold. People were starting to wonder if he’d ever return, especially with Grace Dent stepping in to take over his role.
But then, out of the blue, there he was on Saturday, chatting about the Beast from the East. The documentary featured other celebs too, like Laila Morse and Adam Henson, but it was Gregg that caught everyone’s attention.
Viewers took to social media, and let’s just say, opinions were mixed. One person said it was a bold move for him to be back on TV, while another didn’t hold back, saying Channel 5 clearly didn’t care about the allegations against him.
Gregg has been pretty vocal about the situation, even pointing fingers at “middle-class women” for the complaints. He’s had a lot to say in videos, claiming that he’s been unfairly targeted.
His legal team has been quick to defend him, stating that the claims are completely false. But the drama doesn’t stop there. Rock star Rod Stewart even got involved, calling out Gregg for how he treated his wife on MasterChef. Talk about a messy situation!
