Exclusive: TV star is said to have behaved inappropriately towards journalist he met at awards ceremony

Gregg Wallace has been accused of sending inappropriate texts to a young female reporter asking her for “a snog” and leaving multiple “creepy” voicemails after taking her number under the pretext of work.

The MasterChef judge and presenter announced he was stepping back from the show earlier this month while the programme’s production company, Banijay UK, investigated other allegations of misconduct.
