If you’re a middle-class man of a certain age worried about Gregg Wallace’s future career prospects, there’s no need. Honestly. It’s all going to be absolutely fine – I promise you.
Some people were surprised by the MasterChef judge’s decision to double down with a provocative statement after sexual misconduct claims – which his lawyers have called “entirely false” – continued to surface about him over the weekend. But not me. I’d wager that Wallace isn’t, as suggested from some quarters, digging himself into a deeper hole with his latest insulting rhetoric. Far from it; he’s following in the tried-and-tested footsteps of many problematic men before him.
