Anna worked on Gregg Wallace's Big Weekends in 2019. She told us that Wallace regularly talked about sex, and about domination and spanking.
"[It] was highly inappropriate," she said.
She says he also constantly made comments about her sexual orientation, including when he met her partner.
“I date women and Gregg Wallace was fascinated by that," she said.
She added that he asked her if she was "sure" she didn't want to date men.
But others have defended Wallace. TV producer Alice Harper told the Times: "“I have come to know Gregg extremely well and have run a team, many of whom are young women, and I have never, ever seen Gregg do anything inappropriate,”
He tells jokes incessantly on set to relax people... I had to sort of teach him things that were not appropriate to joke about. I did have to take him aside a couple of times and he took it on board and became more careful."
Journalist William Sitwell, who has known Wallace for about 25 years, said in a Daily Telegraph column that the presenter is “always genuinely interested in the wellbeing of people around him”.
“He builds up relationships with contestants, there is palpable warmth and, off camera, his interest is not in what they cook, but what they do and who they are.”
Sitwell added Wallace “fires off jokes like he’s running a Bernard Manning comedy workshop. Some are plain silly, others outrageous. Which is, of course, the point of jokes.”
