Is it just me or does anyone else feel a little a little sorry for Greg Wallace just now?I don’t particularly like his presenting style (bit too in yer face for my liking,prefer Torrode’s more relaxed style) and I rarely watch Masterchef so I don’t have any skin in the game but it all seems a bit OTT.

You have people coming out of the woodwork with comments like:

“Yes I worked on the show 15 years ago and he mocked my name and was unpleasant.”

No definition of unpleasant.Her name?Mi Mi Aye.Nothing to mock there.Apparently he called her You You.

Even Sir Rod Stewart has stuck his oversized beak in as his wife was ‘humiliated’ by Wallace on Celebrity Masterchef.Did he make reference to her soggy bottom?Oh wait different show.Given that wheels will turn and his career is probably over it’s a little vindictive from the megarich crooner to be nursing a petty  grudge like that .

I always wonder whether there’s an unseen agenda being played out behind the scenes in situations like this.The most serious allegation seems to be that he was a bit smutty and made sexualised jokes.That’s half of showbiz getting sacked then?
