Penny Lancaster has candidly opened up about working with Gregg Wallace on Celebrity MasterChef, revealing she was left “shaking”.
TV chef, Gregg, 60, made front-page news last year after allegations of inappropriate behaviour and language were made against him. Because of this, Gregg stepped back from his hosting duties on MasterChef.
Following a seven-month investigation, a report revealed that 45 out of 83 allegations against former MasterChef host Gregg have been upheld.
But now, Penny – who previously accused Gregg of bullying her – has spoken about her experience with Gregg.

Penny Lancaster on ‘abusive’ Gregg Wallace experience
In an extract of her new book, Someone Like Me, due to be released in September, Penny Lancaster discussed her time on Celebrity Masterchef, when Gregg Wallace was one of the judges.
“Nobody goes on a cooking programme expecting to be abused, yet that’s exactly how I came away feeling after my time on Celebrity MasterChef,” Penny said.
She revealed that during her stint on the show in 2021, social distancing rules were in place.
On the first day, Penny said Gregg “made some not-so-funny jokes, which everyone seemed to smile politely at”.
He also allegedly showed people “personal snaps” on his phone and “boasted” about his past relationships – something Penny said “seemed entirely inappropriate”.
