Gregg Wallace apologises for his response to Masterchef claims

Gregg Wallace has apologised after facing a huge backlash to his response to claims of inappropriate behaviour made against him. The 60-year-old faces allegations from 13 people across a range of shows over a 17-year period with many others since sharing their experiences. Wallace's comment on Instagram on Sunday in his defence that accusations came from "a handful of middle-class women of a certain age" has prompted an angry backlash.
