Earliest allegations Many of the accusations against Wallace span the last decade, at the height of his TV fame, but some date as far back as 19 years. BBC News reported that a worker on MasterChef said Wallace had regularly made sexually explicit remarks on set in 2005 and 2006. A former contestant, Dr Kate Tomas, has said she complained about his treatment on the show in 2008 but that nothing was done. In a video on TikTok, Tomas alleged that he had sexually harassed her and described him as "disgusting and repulsive".
Kirsty Wark and the 13 accusers The broadcaster Kirsty Wark was one of the first women to publicly accuse Wallace of inappropriate behaviour, telling BBC News last week that he told "sexualised" jokes during filming of Celebrity MasterChef in 2011. Wark said she felt the comments were "really in the wrong place" and that they made people "uncomfortable". The former Newsnight host said she had raised it at the time with an executive at the production company, Shine, and the gist of the reply was "almost as if it was some kind of affliction".
Wark was one of 13 people making allegations about Wallace's conduct over a 17-year period, BBC News reported last Thursday.
