It's currently after 2am in Australia, nick have you even slept in the last 72 hours since this thread started?
And I thought I wasted too much of my life on this pointless stuff, achieving the sum total of absolutely nothing when all is said and done.

John Torode repeatedly raised concerns about Gregg's 'behaviour' on MasterChef

Or more importantly Tim Minchin?
According to that article (and other sources), Torode has previously denied that he and Wallace were friends; instead, they were work colleagues.

According to that Sun article, Torode was Wallace's Best Man at his fourth wedding.
That's exactly the sort of thing that a work colleague who wasn't a friend would do.
Nods.
It's on record that they've never been to each other's homes. That's odd for a best man too.
I imagine Wallace has more ex-wives than actual friends...
Playing devil's advocate, It was in 2016 so his behaviour by then might not have been at it's worst!

The BBC have reacted by sending out guidance to their staff.
But I learned about it on ITV.......
I can't find anything about it on the BBC website. I don't know if Gregg Wallace is employed by the BBC or not, or whether there may be HR/contractual considerations involved.

It depends on the program. Most of the complaints have been from people he worked with on the Masterchef programs which are produced by an independent company and sold to the BBC. He’d have been a freelance/contractor employed by the production company. That’s why the investigation is being handled by them rather than the BBC.
I believe Inside The Factory is made by a BBC owned production company though so he was probably employed by the BBC to work on that show and they’d be responsible for investigating any allegations stemming from that show.
I’d imagine the guidelines have been sent to the production companies BBC work with as most people will just see this as being yet another BBC scandal as they are the channel that show the programming Wallace presents.
The BBC need to be doing all they can to ensure whatever internal guidelines are being shared are also adopted by the companies they work with to try and stop this from happening in the future.
Be interesting to know if the contracts (rather than just guidelines) between the BBC and the independents include anything about compliance with certain BBC standards/policies……..different industry but we always had clauses with any 3rd party providers (or we checked that their own policies were equivalent to what we had) - precisely because any failures on their part effectively become ours
