The incident was unreported until an insider contacted The Sun after the BBC’s launch last week of a review into workplace culture. Speaking on Instagram Live on Monday, Gregg admitted he made comments but insisted that they were not of a sexual nature. He told his followers: “With reference to what’s in the newspapers, these allegations were investigated by the BBC six years ago. “The allegations were investigations six years ago and my comments were found to be not sexual. “I repeat, not sexual. Thank you everybody for your time. “I don’t want anybody to misunderstand this and make it look like I was flirting with somebody. Nobody accused me of that and I never have.” He went on: “Something else that I feel very strongly about, strong enough to be on here, nobody six years ago or since has accused me of flirting with anybody or hitting on anybody. “And that’s important to me, and I say this for my wife Anna, who I’ve been true to and madly in love with since the day I met her.” Last year he was also accused of being rude and insulting to women on Inside The Factory. At the time, he said he had quit as host of the BBC series to focus on his autistic son, Sid. A source said: “There are questions to be asked about the decision to allow Gregg to continue on MasterChef despite these previous incidents. “The BBC say they are keen to clear up issues around workplace culture but have allowed Gregg to remain on a flagship show despite allegations about his conduct.”
