It's Gregg not Greg. Get it right, remember i am your master.

Tykey · 2 Dec 2024 at 07:44

He is in the wrong no doubt about it and he shouldn't make such comments, no-one should. He's no Jimmy Saville though is he, it's like we enjoy a witch hunt, love to see a downfall. He's sexist and need educating, not cancelling imo.

I wasn't working on that premise though. It doesn't seem in contention that he does and has made sexualised comments to fenale guests on the show.

Beyond anonymous accusations is there any actual proof he’s made offensive sexualised comments?

Back in the day I was a bit of a looker with a fit bod thanks to a gym obsession, some of the things I've had said to me... :eek:

There are no threads on this, I can't believe no one has commented on it, I guess they've been nuked and this will be too.

I think we're waiting for an apology before we close it.

Did that front page thread name anyone in the thread title? Could have been anyone

Maybe the forum needs to implement some form of a searching facility, where you can type in keywords and the forum presents you with any threads with those keywords in it. In this case we could use "wallace" for example and see what comes up. Who knows, you might get lucky.

Do you record all of your conversations with people at work?

The accusations aren’t all anonymous btw.

Oh fiddlesticks, it already exists:

I did search on "Greg Wallace" and the results that came up were all about people cooking stuff, as much as I enjoy cooking (I can't cook) I wasn't interested in those

I see what I didn't do, I didn't order results by date

Diddums · 2 Dec 2024 at 07:52

I think you should go have a coffee and try again, with less insinuation of poor moderation this time

Double post.

It defaults in that order unless you’ve used advanced search for some reason. You’re digging some hole for yourself here.

Honestly it didn't for me! No idea why. Edit : yes I did do an advanced search, because I am advanced

Oh you're definitely something alright

I’ve just tried it with advanced and it still did it in date order with the relevance option checked.

Your advanced capabilities in spelling was the issue.

I blame OC's forum search being too sensitive for speeling mistakes! Edit: not sure if relevance option was checked, I just had default values (probably). Anyway, I'm bailing on this thread while I can, I can sense a good trolling being set in motion, adios amigos!

As mentioned they aren't all anonymous and this has been rumbling on for years

The 2022 letter, seen by the Observer, contained the experiences of several women, and detailed some of the allegations reported last week by the BBC, including complaints of sexualised comments and of Wallace appearing topless in front of colleagues.
It was sent to the BBC four years after Wallace had already been issued with a formal warning following an HR investigation into his behaviour.
It emerged last night that five years earlier, in 2017, Wallace was warned by a BBC executive that his conduct on set was “unacceptable and cannot continue”, after the broadcaster Aasmah Mir, who appeared on the 12th series of Celebrity MasterChef, complained about sexist comments Wallace had made during filming.

Basically, he's a dinosaur that hasn't moved with the times and finally all the little bits have mounted up.

At this point he's no Saville no, but how he's acting isn't appropriate nowadays.
