Fresh allegations of misconduct against Gregg Wallace have come to light, as pressure continues to mount on BBC bosses to axe Masterchef.The broadcasters are facing backlash as it holds firm on its decision to continue airing episodes of the cooking competition while it investigates allegations by 13 individuals of sexually inappropriate comments made by Wallace.

Two of Gregg Wallace's accusers have criticised his response to allegations of historical misconduct, after he said they had come from a "handful of middle-class women of a certain age". One of his accusers said the comments showed he "clearly hasn't learnt his lesson", while another said he wrongly "seems to be saying he's the victim of classism".
