I wonder what it is about middle class women of a certain age? Hmmmmm. Is it because they finally have the "luxury/luck/privilege" of getting to a point in life where they have garnered a bit of the power and financial security that you have that they can afford to say "duck this, I'm going to talk about this now!" and they can feel a bit more comfortable that there won't be terrible negative consequences?

The reason younger women and particularly women of colour (regardless of age) do not speak out is because it is so hard for them to have that level of power where they won't suffer consequences. Yes, Gregggg, it's not right, is it.

THIS is the reason that it is overwhelmingly this demographic that has made the formal complaints. I'd bet my life there's many more who would like to who couldn't for fear.

Hopefully they will now and have some protection.

What an idiot.
He’s worked with thousands of contestants and “only” 13 have complained.
That’s like a murderer stating “I’ve met thousands of people in my life but I only killed one!”
It is irrelevant how many weren’t affected previously.

Only 13 have complained = I’ve got away with it countless times

Put your spade down Gregggg

There's a few reddit threads with plenty of people saying they've had bad experiences with him. I think it's likely because they're just 'ordinary' members of the public they either didn't feel they could complain to anyone or thought they wouldn't be listened to. The middle-aged women he's on about who reported him were more equal in terms of status. He's more or less thrown down the gauntlet and challenged
more people to come forward. His arrogance is doing him no favours, I get narcissist vibes from him, he's so entitled and thinks nothing he does should be criticised.

In 2017 as well. He made a grape joke on the Celeb Masterchef set, which was so horrible a woman (rumoured to be Kate Bottely) walked off the set in tears and reported it. He was made to apologise and did so with 'with tears in his eyes'. :rolleyes:

He clearly never learnt his lesson, as Charlotte Crosby, who was in the latest show, said he was really nasty to her as well, and the whole 'It's a surprise' thing is bull, as at least one producer has said they did report him years back, but it was ignored.

The woman was Ulrika I think.

He keeps posting these supportive comments as if just because some people found him okay then obviously he's innocent of all wrong doing. Just because some people didn't have a bad experience doesn't mean that's all people who have encountered him. He's trying to spin the narrative that they are lying based on a few others saying nice things about him. That's not how this works. A predator doesn't prey on every single person they encounter. That would be stupid. They do it to the ones they think are less likely to say anything then turn on the charm for all the rest. He's just panicking that he's finally been caught out.

Why would he tell her as soon as the trousers split and IN THE MIDDLE. You you twice in my life I did that and if my trousers split I would OT tell anyone at the time maybe after but certainly not someone in a professional work setting of the opposite gender.
He repeated he didn't have underwear on. CREEP FACTOR GALORE.
I hope she didn't see anything 😕

Is that a BBC show? If so probably covered up stuff again. Imagine the poor wardrobe Dept if they dealt with his 'banter".

I honestly can't imagine MChef without him. I wonder how John has taken it? Probably knew for yonks it was on the cards behind the scenes and he probably hopes his wife Lisa co present it.

Chef too and Masterchef winner.

I think Lisa would be fine for Celeb Masterchef. For regular Anna Haugh who did Professionals the year Monica was off would do a good job. professionals doesn't need a third judge as Gregg is barely on it anyway.

Wonder what he'd do if his young, down trodden wife was the victim of unwanted attention

I always think that about men who behave like that. If they were a fly on the wall somewhere with their wife/girlfriend/daughter/mother/sister being treated like that, would they think it was OK, that it was just banter? I'd love to know.

I believe all Gregg did to Penny was refuse to eat her food. Surely if he had groped her she would have got him charged with her being a actual police officer.

What an arrogant toad. Keep a dignified silence and contact a solicitor, don’t go on social media and add fuel to the fire. ‘ women of a certain age’ is so bleeping disrespectful but he’s a chauvinistic pig so what do we expect. Of course he has the right to reply but like this, he’s not helped himself.

I wouldn't have wanted to eat her slop either. Rods only angry she's been shown up on TV at being a rubbish cook.

The point is that whatever happened to result in Rods post wasn’t shown on TV. As were none of these complaints.

So it wasn't shown on tv yet Rod still kicked off. I doubt he's been a Angel in the past. He would have been better🤐.

It's not really a big deal a chef not wanting to taste rank food😷

He's not a chef. He's a former greengrocer who struck lucky.
