Gregg Wallace sparks fury as he ‘profits off guide to menopause book’ – after blaming ‘middle-class women of a certain age’ for his downfall amid sexual misconduct storm

Gregg Wallace is reportedly profiting from a guide to menopause written by a middle-aged woman, despite blaming “middle-class women of a certain age” for his downfall.

The 60-year-old MasterChef star stepped down from his role as a judge on the latest BBC show after 13 women accused the presenter of inappropriate behavior behind the scenes while co-hosting the long-running show – which he strongly denies.

It has now been revealed that he is selling the book, written by middle-aged nutritional therapist Kat Bright, through his website.

The description reads: ‘Are you suffering from menopause? Are you having trouble losing weight? Read this incredibly helpful guide, written by nutritionist Kat, who specializes in weight loss and health for mid-life women.’

‘Here you will learn a lot about menopause and what happens to your body during this period, the reasons why you struggle to lose weight, ways to make lifestyle changes that will make weight loss possible and some tasty recipes to follow’ .

Meanwhile according to The sun the book also states: ‘Kat is herself mid-life and experiencing menopause and therefore has a particular interest in helping women navigate this period of their lives.

“She believes optimal health doesn’t stop at 40 and helps women thrive beyond 40.”

MailOnline has contacted Gregg’s representatives for comment.

Gregg made the unwise decision to defend himself in what can only be described as a trainwreck video posted to his Instagram Stories earlier this month.

Addressing his followers, the former BBC presenter claimed that all the complaints against him ‘come from a handful of middle-class women of a certain age’ and stated that ‘this is not right’.

He went on to ask: ‘Can you imagine how many women on MasterChef have made sexual comments or sexual innuendos?’

Since then, several high-profile names – including TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer – have condemned his comments in public statements.

His statement has also been turned into merchandise items such as printed slogan T-shirts, pins and brooches, wall art and mugs for sale on Instagram and Etsy – as women in the UK called out Gregg for being ‘tone deaf’ and misogynistic behavior. defense.

The TV personality later apologized after his controversial comments about Instagram sparked another PR storm, blaming the mistake for “an enormous amount of stress” and “a lot of emotion.”

The U-turn came hours after an insider told MailOnline he had gone ‘rogue’ and ignored ‘all advice’ on how to save his TV career after the scandal.

Gregg said: ‘I would like to apologize for the offense I caused with my post yesterday and for the upset I have caused to many people.’

While TV psychologist Jo Hemmings said: ‘When is an apology not an apology? Gregg Wallace revisits his misogyny to save his career, but has no regrets about his longstanding inappropriate behavior.”

One social media responded: ‘Gregg Wallace didn’t apologize for his comments and thoughts, he apologized if it was offensive. Standard non-apology, apology’.

The former greengrocer is facing claims from at least 13 women, including Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark, who have accused him of inappropriate behavior – including walking around naked on set with a sock on his penis, inappropriate jokes and groping crew members.

Other claims include talking about his sex life on set, asking for women’s numbers and repeatedly questioning a gay woman about the “logistics” of dating other women

Gregg’s lawyers said that “it is completely false that he engaged in conduct of a sexually harassing nature.”

Actress and author Emma Kennedy revealed that she complained about Wallace to the Masterchef production company in 2012 after allegedly seeing him grope a camera assistant.

The winner of the seventh edition of Celebrity MasterChef, she described the encounter in a post on Thread, writing: ‘I complained about the behavior I saw on MasterChef in 2012. Then they knew.

“They knew it before and they’ve known it ever since.”

MasterChef producer Georgia Harding claimed she raised concerns about “inappropriate” behavior from the star while working on the show, The Sunday Telegraph reported.

She claimed the presenter had undressed in front of colleagues and ‘made inappropriate sexual jokes’ in front of the crew and people appearing on the shows – adding that there had been an ‘acceptance’ of his behaviour.

Broadcaster Aasmah Mir, who appeared on the twelfth series of Celebrity MasterChef, claims he asked her to tell a colleague she was a ‘sexy b****’ and told a fellow contestant she was ‘treating fish like a rapist’.

She reportedly complained about inappropriate comments in a letter. After the letter was forwarded in November 2017 to BBC director Kate Phillips, who now oversees unscripted programs for the broadcaster, she said his behavior on set was “unacceptable and cannot continue”, the Sunday Times reported.

Wallace was also reportedly forced to apologize after making a ‘rape joke’ during filming of series 12 of Celebrity MasterChef, which aired in 2017, which left another female contestant ‘really upset’.

Model Ulrika Jonsson, who took part in the series, also recently told The Telegraph that she had not heard the joke, but said that when another contestant left the set she was told what had happened.

Women who worked on Gregg Wallace’s Big Weekends, broadcast on Channel 5, in 2019 recently recalled that he made a number of inappropriate comments to staff members during production.

One woman said he talked about sex, domination and hitting, and that he was “fascinated” that she was dating women and asked her the “logistics” of how it worked.

Another woman said he allegedly showed her photos of a woman in her underwear as they rode in a car together.

Meanwhile, a third woman who worked with the TV presenter on BBC’s Eat Well For Less TV program in 2019 recalled him making comments about his wife being just two years older than her.

She told the BBC that after she went to his car to sort out his parking ticket, he allegedly replied: ‘You can come to my car but can you deal with the fact that everyone will think you just got out with a celebrity ?’

The ghostwriter of Gregg’s autobiography recently accused the MasterChef host of sexually harassing her multiple times at his home, in a restaurant and in his sports car.

Shannon Kyle, who wrote Gregg’s 2012 memoir Life On A Plate, claims the BBC star opened the door with just a towel, which he later dropped, made “disgusting” and “sickening” sexualized comments and touched her inappropriately.

Former Newsnight presenter Kirsty, who appeared on the celebrity edition of Masterchef, said he used ‘sexualised language’.

‘There were two occasions in particular where he used sexualised language in front of a number of people and it wasn’t as if anyone was concerned about it. It was completely one-way,” she says.

“I think people felt uncomfortable and something happened that I really didn’t expect.”
