Entertainment Gregg Wallace satire
Mark Steel and Shaparak Khorsandi had the perfect takedown of Gregg Wallace’s ‘middle-class women of a certain age’ comment
After being accused of sexually inappropriate and intimidating behaviour, which he denies, Gregg Wallace is currently only opening his mouth to change feet. His Instagram account is basically this –
With a lot less hair, obviously.
In case you haven’t seen the latest spadeload scooped out of the hole he’s digging, here it is.

The reactions have been every bit as deservedly bad as you’d expect.

“I can see the complaints coming from a handful of middle-class women of a certain age,” says Gregg Wallace in a video he has posted online this morning.
Nothing says ‘I’m not a misogynist’ like stereotyping women.
Great work Gregg, tell us who you are again. pic.twitter.com/UOmrEZjw5e

Gregg Wallace only has one option at this point. He has to go FULL transphobe. It's his only option. I know you can do this, Gregg. I believe in your power to be this person. https://t.co/PnE7XVXZHC

Comedians Shaparak Khorsandi and Mark Steel shot down his pathetic dismissal in the most savagely funny way. It’s NSFW, which is basically what’s alleged about Gregg Wallace.

‘As a working-class man in showbusiness, have you found that middle-aged middle class women don’t understand you – don’t understand your brawny humour?’
‘No, they just don’t get it, you know. When you’re in a working-class environment, you walk around naked with a pineapple ring on your knob, and the women go “Oh, you’re so funny.” but the middle-class ones just don’t get it. Stuck up!’
It got a much better reception that the Wallace video did.

I grew up on a council estate and can endorse this message, but we used Gregg's Ring Doughnuts for this purpose, pineapple rings were an occasional Sunday treat.
