“You humiliated my wife… you’re a tubby, bald-headed, ill-mannered bully”: Rod Stewart slams Masterchef host Gregg Wallace as presenter faces misconduct probe

Sir Rod Stewart’s wife Penny Lancaster appeared on the Greg Wallace-hosted Celebrity Masterchef in 2021

Sir Rod Stewart has taken to Instagram to slam MasterChef host Gregg Wallace after the presenter stepped away from his role in the face of a misconduct probe. Stewart’s wife, TV personality Penny Lancaster, appeared on Celebrity MasterChef in 2021.

Wallace, who has hosted the BBC cooking show since 2005, has stepped away while allegations of historical misconduct are investigated. A series of women have complained about Wallace’s alleged behaviour, with one reporting that he regularly spoke about sex, domination and spanking while at work, and another claiming that Wallace had removed his shirt and offered to give her “a fashion show” after a shoot in Italy.

“So Greg [sic] Wallace gets fired from MasterChef,” writes Sir Rod. “Good riddance Wallace… You humiliated my wife when she was on the show, but you had that bit cut out didn’t you?”
