Gregg Wallace has been banned from working at the BBC after an investigation was launched into his alleged misconduct. Claire Powell, head of compliance for BBC Television, has made it clear in a letter of dismissal that Wallace, 60, will not work for the broadcaster after the corporation ruled that he was not safe to have in the workplace.
Wallace was told that executives did not “have the confidence that you can change what seems to be learned behaviour”. The BBC said they took into account his autism diagnosis when determining the judgement, but concluded that he "struggled to distinguish the boundaries between appropriate and inappropriate behaviour in the workplace".
Wallace was forced to step down from MasterChef in November after a number of allegations were made against him, including inappropriate sexual behaviour such as groping and touching.
