Presenter says he felt ‘under siege’ when he dismissed his accusers as ‘middle-class women of a certain age’
The BBC has rejected calls to pull Gregg Wallace from its scheduled programmes as the MasterChef presenter apologised for dismissing his accusers as “middle class women of a certain age”.
Downing Street waded into the row by criticising Wallace’s defence of his behaviour as “misogynistic”. It came amid mounting pressure on the BBC to take Wallace off air while allegations about sexual comments and inappropriate touching by the 60-year-old are investigated.
