Gregg Wallace asked a British Sign Language interpreter to sign “big boobs” and “sexy bum” in front of a live audience at the BBC Good Food show, an attender has told the Guardian.

A MasterChef fan who was at the BBC Good Food Show at the NEC Arena in Birmingham in 2012 said Wallace had asked the interpreter if she had to sign everything he said before making the comments. The woman who was in the audience said she had been “appalled and aghast” at “sexist” behaviour by Wallace during the live event in front of about 400 people.
