Shame he wasn't a fishmonger; we could then have declared him a sex pesticarian.
Masterchef: The Professionals
- Thread starter Orang Utan
- Start date
He’s the everyman who also knows about food and whether you like him or not I’d argue he is personable based on the fact he keeps getting these TV shows. He had the loveable idiot thing down.
He sold his fruit and veg company for a fair whack I believe

A bell pepper?

Is so vanilla
MasterChef is made by an independent production company, though, isn't it, rather than the BBC? So the BBC doesn't employ Wallace directly. And those contractual elements might put a layer of management/distance between the BBC and Wallace, eg the Beeb crisis management folk talking to the MasterChef production company executives and PR people, who assure them they're handling it... then Wallace goes rogue on social media...?

Yeah, often PR can be about keeping stuff out of the media as well as getting the stuff you want in the media.
I once advised someone/a small company trying to get media coverage for something against doing so, because it likely would've backfired against them.

What would Badgers do?
I've skipped a few and just watched last night's episode, a pretty fair outcome IMO. Michael can obviously cook, but needs to work on his shit presentation. Best they got rid of Gareth before he went postal on camera 
I reckon any of the last six could win, but I think I'm still Team Fester.

He's just a bit of a dick really. It's the sort of humour an idiotic 15yo would come up with.

More than just a dick:
Lisa, not her real name, worked on the BBC show Eat Well For Less in 2015.
She described an incident when, she says, he "touched [her] inappropriately" when they were filming in a supermarket.
"He brushed past me at the checkout, and touched my bum with his waist and penis and laughed and said “oooh you liked that didn’t you”," she said.
"It was the way he reacted, other people would’ve said “oh I’m sorry can I squeeze by” which would’ve been ok."
Lisa says that at the time, she felt like she had to "get on" with work.
"But I wasn’t ok about it. When I finished the shoot, I felt it was slimy, disgusting. He just didn’t need to touch my body, it made me uncomfortable."
Lisa says she raised it with a more senior colleague, but nothing got done.
"In hindsight, now, I would’ve said escalated it further, as a stronger independent woman in television. But when you’re working your way up, your voice isn’t heard- you don’t feel like you can take on a powerful person."
We've spoken to her best friend, who we're calling Jane. Jane says Lisa told her about the incident at the time, and it "really took a toll on her".
And:
Anna, not her real name, worked on MasterChef in 2015.
She says she was called to his dressing room on one occasion, to fix his bow tie for an after work event.
When she started fastening his bow tie, she says she noticed his trousers were "partially lowered". She did not see how this happened.
"His pubic hair was on show, where you can see the top part of his penis, and he was wearing no boxers underneath."
Anna says no apology was offered. Instead, she says, "he stared at me", in a way that felt like "a power play".
"I was shocked, I felt embarrassed by the whole thing."

It's actually a really good show. Maybe could use a refresh though so they might use this opportunity to freshen it up a bit.
