Wallace, 60, is under investigation and facing new accusations of harassment, including touching a woman’s private parts at an event and pressing his private parts against another woman during the filming of a different show.
Now, it appears that TV chef James Martin, 52, is one of the favorites to replace him in the role. Martin is the host of his own ITV series, James Martin’s Saturday Morning, and has previously hosted Saturday Kitchen on BBC.
It seems that due to his “impressive” career, he could replace Gregg and co-host MasterChef alongside John Torode, 59, according to a survey conducted by betting company BetFred.
After his departure, Gregg took to social media to deny the accusations, stating that they came from “middle-class women of a certain age.” Later, he issued an apology and said he would be taking some time off from social media.
