00:00Yesterday, and we've been showing this, so yesterday, Greg responded on Instagram.
00:05I've been doing MasterChef for 20 years and apparently now I'm reading in the paper
00:12there's been 13 complaints in that time. Now in the newspaper I can see the complaints coming from a
00:20handful of middle-class women of a certain age just from Celebrity MasterChef. This isn't right.
00:34Just, you know, sometimes just don't. Just have a dignified silence and collect yourself. I mean,
00:41I am quite astounded that he made that statement.
00:45Well, and nobody would say...
00:46Is nobody advising him?
00:48Is nobody saying, shut up, just be quiet right now and let's see what happens?
00:52No, not at all. I'll tell you what his lawyer has said. It is entirely false that he, Greg,
00:58engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature. That's what the lawyer said.
01:03The BBC have said it would be wrong to report the BBC has done nothing if or when matters have
01:09been raised with us, not least because it is already being widely reported there were
01:13interventions in both 2017 and 2018 where action was taken. And we go on,
01:20Bangie UK, they're the company who actually make the show MasterChef. They said, well,
01:23these are historical allegations. Incidents has brought to our attention where expectations are
01:28not met are thoroughly investigated and addressed appropriately is what they're all saying. So
01:34they're all saying the right things, but let's just wait and see if there's any more.
