As a long-time viewer of MasterChef UK, it’s truly disheartening to see such a beloved figure as Gregg Wallace embroiled in this scandal. The show has been a staple of my holiday viewing for years, and I always looked forward to the Christmas specials. However, in light of the allegations against Wallace, it seems only right that the BBC should take a stand and remove these specials from their programming.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has decided to cancel the “MasterChef” holiday specials due to the accusations levied against host Gregg Wallace, marking a significant development in a storyline that has been widely covered by U.K. news outlets.
Last week, Wallace temporarily withdrew from hosting the U.K. version of the cooking program, due to BBC News uncovering several past accusations of inappropriate sexual comments and behavior towards him. His legal team has refuted any involvement in sexually harassing activities, while the production company behind “MasterChef,” Banijay, is currently conducting an investigation.
The BBC’s choice to take off the Christmas specials from their schedule signifies a reversal in their approach, following their statement on Monday indicating that all “Masterchef” episodes, including two holiday-themed ones, would still be shown.
As a devoted cinephile, I’d put it like this: “Hey fellow film lovers, this year, due to unforeseen circumstances, we’ve chosen not to air those star-studded Christmas specials that usually grace our screens during the festive season. They’re a unique genre of entertainment, after all!
On Monday, Wallace issued an apology for remarks he made during the weekend that stirred more debate. In a video shared on his Instagram on Sunday, he attributed the allegations to “a few women of a certain age, middle class.” This statement drew criticism from many quarters, including the British government, with a representative from Downing Street labeling it as “inappropriate and sexist.
Wallace expressed his regret for any hurt or offense his post from the day before may have caused, as well as any distress it might have brought to many people. He shared in a video on Instagram Story that he was not in a good state of mind when he posted it and was dealing with an immense amount of stress and intense emotions. On the day of the post, he felt isolated and under pressure, which is now clear to him. As an investigation is ongoing, he feels it’s necessary for him to step back and take some time off. He hopes his explanation and apology are understood and accepted by everyone.
