The 60-year-old TV profile has been accused of, among other things, sexual harassment.

Wallace has been a judge in the popular British food competition since 2005.

In November 2024, BBC reported that 13 women accuse Wallace of having made inappropriate sexual comments in various TV productions. Wallace then took a break from "Masterchef" while waiting for an independent review by a law firm.

Since then, over 50 women have contacted BBC with allegations about Wallace's behavior, 11 of them accusing him of having harassed them.

"I acknowledge that some of my jokes and my language use have sometimes been inappropriate. For that, I apologize. But I have never been the caricature that is now being portrayed in the hunt for clicks", writes Wallace on Instagram.

The review will be presented shortly. "Masterchef" is the original to the Swedish "Sveriges mästerkock".
