Good podcast with Marina Hyde and Richard Osman discussing the Gregggg debacle. Some interesting behind the scenes info. Apparently producers and the production company had pulled him previously about his inappropriate sexual jokes and innuendo and he'd agreed to stop but *seemed unable to*. Like he had "an affliction".

I'm amazed how many people are defending him on FB and Twitter. Saying its just over sensitive Karens and that back in the day saucy seaside postcard humour was all good clean fun. So r*pe jokes, exposing yourself and groping women should be dismissed as bantz. And if you object there is something wrong with you.

He is perfectly able to. He didn’t do it on air. He doesn’t have Tourette’s. He planned and calibrated his harassment and nobody in charge bothered doing anything. Years and years of workplace harassment and bullying.

It's not at all an excuse for his behaviour, but I didn't know that he was sexually abused at the age of 8 by the husband of a babysitter, which he first spoke about in his 2012 autobiography.

I'm not defending his behaviour. I'm describing behind the scenes anecdotes by colleagues about his behaviour. We all think he's a misogynist wick.

People defending him doesn’t surprise me. A lot of people love his type of ‘banter’ at work. Typically in jobs where people act and think like children and behave like they’re at a pub/comedy club rather than a professional workplace

That one comment quoted is crass but the article describes more than that throughout filming.

Not from Melanie though? Reading through it, there was a comment about do models eat, what Masterchef would do for her career and she didn't like his energy. I personally don't think there's anything outrageous in that?

Vanessa Feltz putting a story out there about what a friend told her in that same article, again is mudding the water. Unless she has a direct experience with Gregg Wallace then it's all just noise in my opinion.

Wonder if that was the real reason why he dropped how to eat well for less, at the time it said it was because of filming commitments

I agree Melanie Sykes is good at tying herself to the news story of the day. On the other hand the article reads to me as her saying that watching him at work made her want to quit TV. She’s not saying it was his treatment of her specifically. I don’t read it as ‘he was so horrible TO ME that I quit’.

My opinion, he was allowed to continue with this near the edge banter, and this allowed him to think he could be rude as well, imagine after all the crap that came out of others and historical complaints , WALLACE still continued with saying he wants to munch down on someone’s tart

Torode must be sweating ! I’m sure he isn’t squeaky clean

I still think the Kirsty Wark stuff is the most damning for Greggggg and the BBC. She clearly didn’t feel she could speak out until after she retired, and is also obviously not just speaking up to make a name for herself.

I thought there was a mountain of DEI that workplaces have in place these days? How come he didn't know he was being offensive?? Meetings, courses, video chats about conduct in the workplace? Don't know how he avoided all of that especially at the Beeb.

Mel’s story now hit the Sun


So in her honest book she didn’t go into much detail about Gregg but now some allegations are out she is giving more ‘details’.

But ridiculous. Didn’t Mel go on Celebrity Juice, and she was the original Ladette. GW asked her if models eat 😳 I used to live with a load and they kind of didn’t. Not much anyway.

Mel says she has autism and has self diagnosed herself with Tourette’s Sydrome. There is a lot to unpack here. Possibly she is glad to be in the newspapers again.
