Gregg Wallace apologises for ‘women of a certain age’ jibe

“MasterChef” presenter Gregg Wallace has apologised after referring to the people who have complained about his alleged inappropriate behaviour as a “handful of middle-class women of a certain age”.

In a video shared on his Instagram account, the 60-year-old apologised for “any offence that I caused” with the comments he made yesterday, adding that he had not been “in a good headspace” at the time. “It’s obvious to me I need to take some time out now, while this investigation is under way. I hope you understand and I do hope you will accept this apology,” he said.
