What’s happening with Gregg Wallace?

The BBC faces backlash as it holds its decision to continue airing episodes of Masterchef while it investigates allegations by 13 individuals of sexually inappropriate comments made by Wallace. While the MasterChef Christmas specials have been cancelled, the current series of MasterChef: The Professionals, which airs on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays with Gregg Wallace as a judge, will continue to be aired as planned. Meanwhile, Wallace has apologised for suggesting allegations against him came from "a handful of middle-class women of a certain age". Meirion Jones, former editor of the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, who worked for the BBC for over 25 years, joins Kieran to discuss.
