A review by Lewis Silkin upheld numerous allegations of misconduct against Wallace, leading to his departure from the BBC cooking show. Wallace apologized for causing distress and acknowledged that his comments were sometimes offensive and inappropriate. He expressed regret for not understanding the impact of his words at the time. The review substantiated claims of inappropriate language, sexual humor, and an incident of unwelcome physical contact. Wallace emphasized that he is not a groper or a sex pest and mentioned his autism diagnosis affects his social interactions.
Wallace issued an apology stating he was 'deeply sorry for any distress caused' and noted he 'never set out to harm or humiliate,' following the review which upheld several allegations against him.
The review concluded that the 'majority of the substantiated allegations against Mr Wallace related to inappropriate sexual language and humour,' along with other inappropriate behaviour.
