The BBC has sacked Gregg Wallace, the former MasterChef host, following a surge of workplace misconduct claims. More than 50 new complaints, ranging from inappropriate language to allegations of groping and exposing himself, have emerged, spanning his 17-year career at the broadcaster.

Gregg Wallace has launched a furious attack on the BBC amid reports that he has been fired from hosting MasterChef UK following an inquiry into his conduct. Wallace posted a five-slide statement on Instagram setting out his position after a nine-month investigation carried out by law firm Silkins on behalf of MasterChef producer Banijay UK.
