The presenter – dropped from the long-running BBC cookery show along with his co-presenter John Torode – said that it ‘wouldn’t even [have crossed] my mind’ to complain about the incidents

Gregg Wallace has confessed he will never interact with the BBC ever again and won't watch future seasons of MasterChef following his sacking from the corporation

Wallace suggests some criticism about his conduct could be explained by his autism: "I know I am odd. I know I struggle to read people.... but I don't think I am a wrong 'un".
