Christopher Biggins condemned over ‘grabbing women’ remarks
Christopher Biggins defends Gregg Wallace by making bizarre claim
- Christopher Biggins, 76, has defended sacked MasterChef host Gregg Wallace by stating he used to "grab women by the t***ies," claiming it was considered "affection" 25 years ago.
- Biggins, who is gay, joked that such actions would now lead to imprisonment, suggesting that people are "terrified" and comedians face a tough job.
- Refuge ambassador and former Love Island star Sharon Gaffka criticised Biggins’ comments, stating: “Touching someone without their consent, regardless of the context, is never funny”.
- Gregg Wallace's position on MasterChef became "untenable" after an investigation upheld 45 of 83 allegations against him, including inappropriate sexual language and unwelcome physical contact.
- John Torode, Wallace's co-presenter, was also sacked after a complaint against him involving an "extremely offensive racist term" was upheld.
