Gregg Wallace breaks silence after BBC show exit - amid claims he was 'rude'

Gregg Wallace has broken his silence, after claims were made that he 'offended colleagues' and 'quit' BBC Two's Inside The Factory. The 58-year-old earlier revealed that he quit the series after a seven-season stint to look after his young son, who has autism.

But contrasting reports have emerged, claiming that Gregg stepped back as he was 'rude' to colleagues and even allegedly made comments towards female staff about their weight - reports The Star. A source spoke to The Times about the Masterchef favourite's choice to leave his tenure with Inside The Factory.

They claimed: "He was rude towards staff and continued to talk in a derogatory manner, especially to women."
