British TV host Gregg Wallace is under fire for his response to multiple sexual misconduct allegations made against him. The MasterChef host announced last week that he was stepping down from his role as the show’s cohost after BBC News reported 13 allegations of sexual misconduct against Wallace,

Television presenter Aggie MacKenzie, who competed on “Celebrity MasterChef” in 2011, told ITV on Monday that Wallace made “endless smutty jokes” and alleged that “he’s been allowed to carry on in his own sweet way for many, many years.”

What next for Gregg Wallace? Rather than laying low and riding out accusations of impropriety from his Kent mansion, the embattled MasterChef host has instead decided to go to war with the “middle class women of a certain age” who have had the gall to report him.
