The TV star has been fired after more than 50 people came forward with allegations, including ones of inappropriate sexual language, groping and racist comments.

He said he “never set out to harm or humiliate” after an external investigation upheld dozens of sexual-misconduct allegations against him.

"We welcome the publication of the findings by Lewis Silkin, following the investigation into the conduct of Gregg Wallace. In light of these findings, Banijay UK and the BBC have agreed Mr Wallace’s return to MasterChef is untenable. The BBC has informed Mr Wallace we have no plans to work with him in future.
