Gregg Wallace stepped back from hosting MasterChef amidst historical complaints and an investigation by Banijay UK in 2024. In an emotional Instagram post, he shared his struggles with mental health and voiced concerns over the treatment of individuals facing public scrutiny. He highlighted a feeling of abandonment, having not been contacted by the BBC post-complaints. He expressed that pressure from allegations leads to extreme thoughts, emphasizing that no one should face such a storm alone and underscoring the toll public criticism can take on mental health.
Nobody should be left on their own to face a storm of complaints...It's very difficult to explain the pressure unless you've been through it.
Right now, I don't want to add anything more. I've opened my heart, and that has to be enough...I need space to heal.
