The TV presenter made it to the semi-final of Celebrity MasterChef in 2021, after which she made an informal complaint about Wallace. In her autobiography, Illuminated, Sykes revealed she witnessed “unprofessional behaviour on set” which was “jawdropping”.
When Wallace, 60, told her that MasterChef would help further her career, Sykes decided she was “done” working in TV.
“I didn’t know what to say, so I smiled and said ‘Yes,’ but I was really thinking, ‘Yes, you have finally helped me decide to end my television career once and for all,’” Sykes wrote, adding: “I was done.”
Sykes, 54, is one of numerous stars to have appeared on Celebrity MasterChef who have accused the host of alleged inappropriate remarks while episodes were being filmed.
Thirteen people came forward with historical allegations about Wallace’s behaviour over a 17-year period, and some high-profile figures have revealed their experiences with Wallace in recent days.
