I was just listening to LBC radio, James O'Brien was having a phone-in based on workplace harassment off the back of the Gregg Wallace story. He said he was surprised at the sheer volume of anecdotal stories coming in about Wallace . He said he couldn't read them all out but one woman had said she'd met GW, put something up on facebook about it ( not naming the celebrity) and she was shocked to get a number of people working in TV contact her and say who it was immediately. I would guess GW is going to end up being investigated criminally at this rate.

Maybe but what would the crimes be? It is mostly verbal comments currently which I don't think criminally prosecutable - I saw a few mentions of possible groping/exposure but is anyone putting their name to those?

Gregg Wallace allegations 'tip of the iceberg', former MasterChef contestant claims

The former contestant, who wants to remain anonymous, claims he witnessed a "toxic environment" on set - but was too scared to speak out after signing a non-disclosure agreement.

I suspect the reason why Gregg lasted so long is because the idiotic execs at the BBC, who probably all live in Notting Hill, think Sarf-London barra' boy Gregg is just who the poor, ignorant, huddled masses, sitting with tv dinners on their laps on sink estates want to see on their tv. :rolleyes: The beeb has lost the plot big time and I'm having a tough time defending them these days. Even the news is crap now.

Same, I always used to stick up for the BBC but it’s basically impossible now. It should be broken up.

Ringing up a commerical radio station and telling a story is worthless. I could do that. O'Brien also believed everything Carl Beech said about an establishment paedophile ring. I wouldn't trust James as far as I could throw him frankly.

The stories weren't on air, as I said. He didn't say he believed them and he made it clear they were anecdotal. He was saying it surprised him how many stories had come in about one person. Taking out any judgement of James Obrien I would say it's likely there are a high number of stories because incidents with GW's have been prolific and sustained over decades.

It should be investigated if allegations of assault/groping are made. I think the volume of incidents so far indicates he's got real issues with boundaries and consent and I wouldn't be surprised if there are criminal allegations at some point.

I think GW is very insecure and intimidated by women, especially middle class women of a certain age who aren't intimidated by him and are intelligent and confident enough speak out about his behaviour. I think he sees women as sexual targets and his only way of communicating is to say something boorish and sexual to see how they react. He's a caveman with a TV job and a six figure salary and god only knows how he got there.

The apology should have come before he blamed middle-class, middle-aged women, he really isn’t helping himself.

Hopefully this means he has finally accepted that he should shut the duck up. He is so entitled it's a joke.

As a middle aged middle class woman I can safely advise you that I wouldn't piss on Gregg Wallace if the turgid little bleep was on fire.

Apologising because he has to but using being stressed and alone as an excuse for saying it, his original post seemed quite measured and calm, I didn't detect stress, he came across as an arrogant pig who believes he's done no wrong and probably still does, he hasn't denied what he's been accused of and basically said it's nothing because only 13 women have come forward, if I was his wife and her parents I'd be packing my bags and running for the hills
