Gregg Wallace faced a questioned about how he “talks to women” during a livestream on TikTok.
He was sacked from MasterChef last July after an investigation upheld dozens of misconduct allegations, including one of “unwelcome physical contact”.
Since his departure, Wallace has been selling videos on Cameo and working as a life coach. He previously admitted his “career was over”.
The 61-year-old held a 12-hour cooking show titled Gregg’s Kitchen on TikTok on Sunday.
During his livestream announcing the show, a fan commented: “Have you learned to talk to women properly yet?”
Wallace read out the question, responding: “I think [the fan] is trying to be funny.”
The user posted the exchange on X and claimed Wallace reacted by blocking them.
The Standard has contacted Wallace’s representative for comment.
The former MasterChef host announced the original show news on The Malik Butchers’ Facebook page.
“I am excited to announce a brand new live cookery show on TikTok, Gregg’s Kitchen, and it will showcase on Sunday, April 5,” he said.
“We are going to be cooking some amazing dishes, we are going to have some incredible guests, lots of cookery, lots of live chat and more importantly, lots of very good offers for you to buy on TikTok shop.”
Wallace began co-presenting MasterChef in 2005, but it was announced in November 2024 that he would step away from his role while misconduct allegations were investigated.
A review later upheld 45 of the 83 allegations against him, which mostly occurred between 2005 and 2018 and included one of “unwelcome physical contact”.

It said the “majority of the substantiated allegations against Mr Wallace related to inappropriate sexual language and humour”.
It added that “a smaller number of allegations of other inappropriate language and being in a state of undress were also substantiated”.
Wallace issued an apology saying he was “deeply sorry for any distress caused” and that he “never set out to harm or humiliate”.
He launched legal proceedings against the BBC and BBC Studios Distribution Limited, seeking up to £10,000 in damages.
He alleged the organisations failed to provide copies of his personal data, which he said caused him “distress and harassment”.
In February, he dropped his High Court claim against the BBC and will not receive any compensation.
