Celebrity Gregg Wallace rod stewart
Gregg Wallace’s step back from MasterChef pending investigations of inappropriate behaviour gave Sir Rod Stewart the chance to absolutely roast him
Gregg Wallace has been a very familiar face – and scalp – on British telly for more than 20 years, beginning with a stint on Saturday Kitchen and leading to his more familiar role as judge and presenter on BBC’s MasterChef.
He hasn’t been a popular man on social media, and this exchange cemented his reputation for being – well – up himself.

On Thursday, news broke that he would be stepping back from MasterChef while investigations take place into accusations from 13 women, including Kirsty Wark, that he had used sexualised language and behaviour that was inappropriate and had made people feel uncomfortable.

“BBC News sent a letter to Wallace’s representatives on Tuesday setting out allegations of inappropriate sexual comments by 13 people who worked with him across a range of shows over a 17-year period.” https://t.co/wgopCCJoRJ

While the investigations must be allowed to run without the presumptions of the public affecting them, social media had some thoughts to share.

Do remember to spell Gregg Wallace’s name with a double g at the end. He gets most upset if you don’t.

One person who clearly relished the news was Sir Rod Stewart, whose wife Penny Lancaster had a bad experience of Wallace’s presenting style while she was a Celebrity MasterChef contestant in 2021.
Sir Rod absolutely cooked him.
Clearly, Sir Rod did want to talk about it – and Instagram users were here for it.
Oh my god.

Have no clue who or what he’s referring to, but love this, having your wife’s back is the sexiest thing ever.

Omitting the extra G from Gregg is a wonderful Rod Stewart move. And I say that as a Wallace. https://t.co/GPixwDgyN6
