Former MasterChef judge Gregg Wallace is considering making YouTube films about iconic figures.

Gregg Wallace, 62, announced on social media on 20 October that he is considering making YouTube films exploring iconic figures. The former MasterChef judge posted a video of Sweeney Todd's barber shop and wrote: 'Sweeney Todd. I produced this last night. I'm thinking of doing YouTube films, looking at iconic figures. Truth and fiction.'

Wallace stepped away from his role as a judge on the BBC cooking show in late 2024 following an investigation into allegations of historical misconduct. The BBC's internal investigation substantiated 45 out of 83 allegations spanning a 19-year period between 2005 and 2024. The corporation confirmed it would not be working with him in the future.

Wallace has denied engaging in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature. He said he was cleared of what he described as 'the most serious and sensational accusations' while apologising to anyone he may have upset. Before his departure from MasterChef, Wallace had also appeared on BBC Radio Oxford and worked alongside comedian Joe Pasquale.
