Gregg Wallace’s dispute with the BBC
The BBC investigation considered 83 historical allegations, with 45 upheld. Gregg has continued to dispute aspects of the process since leaving MasterChef.
According to MailOnline, he brought a damages claim against the BBC and BBC Studios Distribution over alleged failures to disclose his personal data. He dropped the claim in February.
In a later social media exchange, Gregg claimed his lawyers believed the broadcaster’s decision to invite members of the public to submit complaints might infringe his human rights.
He did not say whether he was considering further legal action. MailOnline said it had contacted the BBC for comment.
