Gregg Wallace has said the complaints against him are coming from "middle-class women of a certain age" after the presenter stepped back from the BBC cooking show MasterChef.
Wallace stepped back following accusations he made sexual comments towards staff and celebrity guests on a range of programmes across 17 years, but the TV star has now hit back on his Instagram Story. "Apparently now, I'm reading in the paper, there's been 13 complaints in that time," he said in the video. "I can see the complaints coming from a handful of middle-class women of a certain age, just from Celebrity Masterchef. This isn't right."
In a second video, he tells his followers: "In 20 years, over 20 years of television, can you imagine how many women, female contestants on Masterchef, have made sexual remarks, or sexual innuendo, can you imagine?"
