Watch the uncomfortable moment Gregg Wallace makes rude innuendo about Celeb Masterchef star in unearthed clip
Lisa Faulkner - the wife of Gregg's co-host John Torode - claimed he 'repeatedly told rude jokes' during filming
GREGG Wallace made a rude innuendo about a Celebrity Masterchef star during a previous series, a resurfaced clip has revealed.
This week The Sun revealed how Gregg was given a warning by the BBC over his making “inappropriate sexual comments” to a female staffer on BBC gameshow Impossible Celebrities.
Now a clip from the 2013 series of Celebrity Masterchef shows him making a rude comment to comedian Katy Brand.
The scene shows Katy presenting an egg tart to Gregg and his co-host John Torode.
Gregg tells her: “I find this quite pleasant. Left to my own devices, I’d probably munch the living daylights out of your little tart.”
It comes after John’s wife, and former Celebrity Masterchef star Lisa Faulkner, claimed Gregg “repeatedly told rude jokes” during filming.
At the Cheltenham Literary Festival over the weekend she was asked about her 2010 stint on the show.
Lisa said: “Gregg was telling – I’m probably not allowed to say this…
“Gregg just told rude joke after rude joke to the crew.
“You’re just sitting there and if you’re on the front bench just chopping away thinking, ‘I’ve got ten minutes left,’ and he’s saying, ‘So this girl walked into a bar…’
“And I’m going, ‘Please I don’t want to hear this joke’.”
The incident on Impossible Celebrities in 2018 was previously unreported until someone came forward to The Sun last week.
A source told us: “The BBC took immediate action and Gregg was called in to have a meeting with them.
“He made it clear that he didn’t mean anything by what he said but he was read the riot act and told to change his behaviour.”
