And now it has been revealed that he referred to women as “sexy” on social media over 100 times.
Not only this, but he called a former MasterChef winner and a BBC presenter a “sexy b***h” – with the post yet to be removed.
The TV host claims he was cleared of all the serious allegations, but was fired from MasterChef after a sexual misconduct probe.
The BBC have now received 50 new allegations with 11 women accusing him of inappropriate behaviour such as groping and touching.
There are dozens of occurrences on social media where Gregg posted sexualised comments on line.
He called 2012 MasterChef winner Shelina Permalloo a “sexy b***h” and “sexy girl”.
In one exchange, he said: “hello mate, how you doing ? Sexy b***h !”
He also called former BBC Breakfast presenter Penny Haslam, whom he knows from them both being ambassadors for WeightWatchers, a “sexy b***h”.
In total, on his X page, Gregg calls people – men and women – “sexy” over 135 times.
This includes MasterChef finalist Angela Langford, MasterChef judge Monica Galetti, and interior designer Kelly Hoppen.
As well as This Morning’s Alison Hammond, Bake Off’s Paul Hollywood and former Page 3 model Linda Lusardi, whom he also called a “sexy girl”.
John Torode is constantly called “sexy” – and his wife Lisa Faulkner “hot point” and “pretty”.
Gregg has always claimed that his behaviour isn’t harassment, yet ex-Celebrity MasterChef contestant Aasmah Mir publicly called him out for saying “sexy b***h” to her face.
She said in a Tweet last year: “In 2017, I took part in Celebrity MasterChef.
“I put my first dish down in front of the judges and the cameras paused to reset.
“In front of everyone, Gregg Wallace told me to tell a colleague at the BBC ‘that she was a sexy b***h.’
“No-one said anything. And yes, I did complain.”
With Gregg’s sacking from the BBC revealed this week, he released a statement online.
He wrote: “After 21 years of loyal service to the BBC, I cannot sit in silence while my reputation is further damaged to protect others.
“I have now been cleared by the Silkins report of the most serious and sensational accusations made against me.
“I recognise that some of my humour and language, at times, was inappropriate.
“For that, I apologise without reservation.”
He claims that the stress led to him being taken to hospital in Ashford, Kent, with a suspected heart attack after two days of agonising chest pains.
