The more I read about him, the more loathsome he seems. Apparently Nestle complained about him after staff alleged Wallace had joked about their weight while filming Inside The Factory. It's just mad that people think they can get away with stuff like this.

He did get away with it for decades!
In the end, those not pulling him up haven't really done him a favour either as his fall is now so much greater. A stern talking to and then an official warning could have stopped this.
And by 'those not pulling him up', I don't mean contestants/fellow presenters. I mean the people paying him the big money, his employers.
Well I guess they do. I mean he (allegedly) has up till now.

Unfortunately the culture where women complaining about men doing this sort of thing is pointless and career limiting goes far beyond the BBC.
Still worth pointing out both the individuals who do it and the institutions which enable them.
Masterchef is a massive moneyspinner. I mean I know they have regional versions as well but the UK version is also hugely popular globally. I guess they're a bit reluctant to break up their winning formula.
I'm seeing calls today from MPs to suspend the current series which is a total kick in the teeth for the contestants. But I can't see how they can keep screening it.

I actually preferred the Lloyd Grossman version anyway.

i wish they'd bring him back, dr grossman would be a far superior presenter to the lacklustre wallace

I mean they've replaced him on In The Factory with equally annoying Paddy McGuinness so, y'know anything's possible.

Someone earlier said Si King as a replacement.
I think that would be a wonderful choice.

Like they’ve kept screening every other BBC show where men have behaved like utter cunts.

I think he's way too good for Masterchef. Too kind, too decent, too ego-free, not someone who'd be comfortable in what seems to be, Wallace aside, a not particularly healthy or happy environment, if other sources are to be believed.
ETA. A link to the 'other sources' I mentioned above.
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.

Yeh he's always struck me as a good sort
They're totally gonna go 'woke' for his replacement... damage control. they're gonna want someone as far from a cunty little racist sexist Millwall fan as possible. That camp guy from Glow Up with the hilarious moustache... He probably knows nothing about food but then Wallace didn't either....

That's rich coming from Nestle, a company who have had campaigns against them going back much further than I can remember.

Brilliant idea but he is too nice and you wouldn't stop him talking.

Yep, who knows, maybe they will get a woman to do the job; no reason why not is there.
A middle class woman. Of a certain age.
