Gregg Wallace faces suspension due to multiple allegations of inappropriate behaviour at a London club.
- The Home Grown club, frequented by business leaders, suspended Wallace’s membership.
- Allegations involve inappropriate sexual conduct, leading to a BBC investigation.
- Wallace has stepped down from his MasterChef presenting role amid these claims.
- The club is renowned for its association with prominent tech personalities and entrepreneurs.
Gregg Wallace, known for his television work, is under scrutiny following a wave of allegations concerning inappropriate behaviour at the Home Grown club in Marylebone. This club is a hub for tech entrepreneurs and investors and enjoys patronage from individuals involved in high-growth areas.
The suspension of Wallace from this exclusive club followed accusations of sexual impropriety that have come to light recently. The BBC’s investigation revealed accounts from at least 13 individuals who reported inappropriate comments made by Wallace. Further allegations include physical misconduct, with reports of unwanted touching and inappropriate physical advances.
Wallace, who was a familiar figure at the club, faces a suspension while the BBC continues its investigation into these claims. The club confirmed to UKTN that Wallace’s membership is suspended pending this investigation’s outcome.
As a result of these emerging allegations, several MasterChef episodes featuring Wallace scheduled for later this month have been removed from airing. Wallace himself acknowledged some of the concerns, initially dismissing the allegations as coming from a specific demographic but later offered an apology for this dismissal.
The Home Grown club, established in 2019, aligns itself with a network of entrepreneurs and investors-particularly from the technology sector. It counts figures such as ex-Dragons Den investor Piers Linney among its supporters and hosts events encouraging open discussions about business failures.
Wallace’s situation remains unresolved as investigations continue and his roles are reassessed.
