Gregg Wallace, known for co-presenting MasterChef, has revealed a troubled past as a football hooligan. He admitted to being arrested for assault at 20 and has a tattoo of his former club, Millwall, on his chest. Wallace has stepped down from MasterChef amid allegations of inappropriate sexual comments from 13 individuals over 17 years. The BBC is conducting an external review of these historical allegations, which include claims made by former Newsnight host Kirsty Wark. His lawyers deny the allegations, stating he does not engage in sexually harassing behavior. Wallace is committed to cooperating with the investigation while recorded episodes of MasterChef: The Professionals will continue to air as scheduled.
