Gregg Wallace reveals one thing that 'got me into trouble' after MasterChef axing

Following his exit from MasterChef last month, former co-host and judge Gregg Wallace has revealed one behaviour "that got me into trouble". Both Wallace and his former co-star John Torode helped revamp the BBC culinary show into the huge brand it is known as today after they took over the show in 2005. But the pair both left in scandal last month following allegations of misconduct and racial language.

Their time on the show was cut short after several allegations against them were upheld. An investigation by the law firm Lewis Silkin confirmed that 45 complaints against Wallace were upheld. Meanwhile, one claim of racism was upheld against the Australian TV chef, which he has vehemently denied.

On Sunday evening (August 24), the disgraced greengrocer went on TikTok Live, where he answered questions from viewers and gave them an update on his life. One loyal fan asked the 60-year-old presenter whether he still hits the gym following his sudden departure.

It was at this point that he proudly stood up, declaring: "Of course, I'm like a butcher's dog" before seemingly going on to refer to the recent investigation. He added: "I would take my shirt off, but that got me into trouble last time."

Despite both Wallace and Torode leaving the show, the BBC chose to air the latest series of the cookery show, which had already been filmed with both Wallace and Torode featuring as normal.

Two contestants have been edited out of the series at their request. It also appears that episodes have been edited to remove jokes between the hosts as well as less banter between them and the chefs.

The update comes after half of Gregg Wallace's recipes were removed from the BBC Food website, leaving many of their users up in arms. Six of the star's 11 BBC dishes have been scrapped from the site since he was axed from the long-running show.

His "comforting" special sausage and lentil soup, "delightfully simple" mince pie ice-cream and raspberry pavlova are gone. A raspberry marinated rack of lamb and a leek and potato soup are also missing since an explosive report into the 60-year-old's inappropriate behaviour was exposed. One site user railed at "another stupid cancellation by the BBC".

They added: "Whatever you think of the guy, it was hardly his recipes that were the problem." Another agreed: "Seems childish. I'm never going to stop listening to Michael Jackson." A third fumed: "Can't we separate the art from the artist?" All these dishes featured on shows the dad-of-two fronted, as did some still on the website, such as his port and apple burger.
