Gregg Wallace has returned to social media months after quitting MasterChef following multiple claims of sexual misconduct.
Last year, the former host, 60, was accused of inappropriate behaviour by 13 people, including Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark, across a range of shows over a 17-year period.
He resigned from the BBC One cooking show in November following 19 years as a host and was replaced by food critic and I’m A Celebrity! star Grace Dent.
Wallace initially claimed the allegations came from “middle-class women of a certain age” - but later apologised and said he “wasn’t in a good headspace” when he made the comments.
Following the scandal, the former greengrocer went silent on social media, sharing his last post on November 24 - a day before the complaints surfaced.
He broke his social media silence on Tuesday by sharing a video tutorial on how to make protein pancakes.
Wallace shared a video of his step-by-step recipe and captioned it: “Easy n Healthy Gregg Wallace Health.”
The TV personality set up Gregg Wallace Health after dropping five stone, with the website offering recipes, frozen food deliveries and health advice from experts.
On his blog, he also shared a post about how “mistakes are never the end of your journey” with members who pay £12 a month to access his content.
“Just be mindful of all the decisions that we make throughout the day. Just ask yourself what you can do that will make each of these a little bit better,” he wrote, per MailOnline.
“Mistakes are never the end of your journey. See them for what they really are, they are simply slip-ups, you are only human. If you learn a lesson from them that is a major step forward.
“Be kind to yourself. Just be aware that this isn’t the most important thing. The most important thing is to focus not on perfection but on progress.”
Wallace faces a wide range of misconduct allegations including “talking openly about his sex life” and telling a junior female colleague he was “not wearing any boxer shorts”.
His lawyers have said it is entirely false to suggest he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature.
Former MasterChef contestant Emma Phillips-Jennings accused Wallace of repeatedly thrusting his groin in her face as she crouched at an oven while filming the show in 2009.
She described Wallace’s alleged behaviour as “unprofessional and disgusting”. The incident was reportedly filmed by camera crew but not included in the episode.
Wallace has also been accused of pressing his crotch against a woman working on the BBC show, Eat Well For Less, during filming in a supermarket in 2015 and allegedly touching the bottom of another woman during a group hug in a lift in 2022.
Shannon Kyle, who was Wallace’s ghostwriter on his 2012 memoir Life On A Plate, alleged he touched her bottom during a television appearance, rubbed her thigh while driving in the car, and dropped his towel in front of her.
Multiple high-profile names, including TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, have condemned his alleged behaviour.
MasterChef producers said in November 30 they had appointed a "rigorous" law firm - Lewis Silkin - to lead the investigation into his alleged misconduct.
