As a man, I could not agree more! I see this behaviour sometimes and it's horrific! We need to create a culture where this is more unacceptable so these creeps don't do it!
I agree 100% with you . I think he's got to big for his boots and thinks he is the star of the show. He comes across as being, abrasive, arrogant and full of self importance.
It’s part of his on screen master chef “persona” , East End barrow boy. I appreciate he shouldn’t have discussed sex in the lift , he should have been reigned in over it. A posh dude would be just as narcissistic.
I'm not bothered about his behaviour generally. However, I'd be very upset and angry if my partner was flirty or talking shexy about us behind my back without my consent
Don't, she's laughing all the way to the bank. She's a gold-digger 21 years younger (and his fourth wife) who does not mind being married to an obnoxious garden gnome and even in the case of a divorce she will definitely fall on her feet.
The only stars in the world are the celestial ones! Too much admiration is given to those on TV, thus allowing them to abuse their status. There's nothing worse than a sleazy man, or indeed a woman!
Great point Vanessa. Reputations can be destroyed both ways when it comes to flagging inappropriate behaviour in the workplace. Greg’s response to this, illustrates the fact perfectly. Women within the industry are frightened of not being taken seriously and labelled as difficult to work with, prudes, uncool, hysterical, ridiculous. A clever tool to try to discredit and silence anyone who would consider making a complaint.
Gosh, he's got a problem. Instead of asking why no-one reported it, why did't his bosses do anything about it, because he clearly wasn't trying to hide it. He was clearly doing it out in the open for everyone to hear.
Yes that’s what I said. A quiet 🤫 chat, pack it up, otherwise no contract, no programme. Z o money. Guess the Producers weren’t stong enough,, typical of BBC Managers. That’s what we get as tax funded BBC. No accountability.
Thank You Vanessa for explaining this Gregg Wallace abuse situation so eloquently. You explain this situation better than ANYONE ELSE! God Bless You Vanessa. ❤
If he said sorry, that suggests he did say those things. I have never liked him, the times I have said to my husband, wish he wasn't in Masterchef he ruins it for me. He knows nothing about food yet, tries to appear like he does, nobody needs his thoughts.
@@janeholmes9374 What is that supposed to mean " ONLY a GREENGROCER"? What do you think of road sweepers and refuse collectors, they must be beneath you? As for his GreenGrocer business, it had a turnover of 7.9 million
Well said Vanessa. ***Side note*** I’ve just listened to your audiobook ‘Vanessa Bares All’ and absolutely loved it. Wish I had your strength of character and formidable intellect - thank you for sharing your story x
Vanessa, very well said. I don't watch Masterchef for one reason, I can't stand to listen to Greg Wallace. So arrogant. So sorry for all the hardworking people that have had to endure his behaviour. He won't be missed!
It’s a shame that nobody felt able to answer him back, make him feel small and embarrassed. It’s a bigger shame that the powers that be have enabled these tv presenters by putting them on a pedestal. It’ll keep happening and they’ll keep getting away with it, the horse has bolted.
The alleged 'Rape' joke were to him a female contestant handling a fish looked like a rapist doing foreplay-he should be questioned at a tribunal/enquiry at that.
It's poor staff management. When Wallace was first hired for the juggernaut that is Masterchef, he should have been reprimanded privately as SOON as his darker personality and humour came out. He's run riot but his BOSSES are paid to manage him. They haven't. Bosses get paid more than staff because of RESPONSIBILITY. If they don't wield it, and staff get out of hand, it's the managers FAULT!
If I found out a number of people had complained about me, I'd want to do everything I could to find out why and then give my sincere apologies and make amends. There's nothing wrong with accepting that you've messed up with some self-reflection. He needs to step away, have a good think about why people are offended, and hopefully come to the realisation that he's being called out for a good reason and it's not too late to apologise and change.
They double down on it ...They don't know where the boundaries are and try blurring the lines .he's seems very inappropriate and arrogant certainly with his response...
Totally agree, I think he enjoyed making people feel uncomfortable and watching them squirm, knowing they wouldn’t do anything about it. Complete misogynist. Pity it took so long for Karma to catch up with him.
Whilst Mr Wallace may well of overstepped the mark on numerous occasions, from what you have just described it would seem to me that the whole television industry is little more than a den of iniquity. In my working life, never have I been offered sex or drugs (or ironing for that matter) as a working perk of the job. Perhaps it is time to seriously reign in these so called stars (many of whom are totally talentless anyway), and make the broadcasters accountable. Horrendous working practices which you will find in no other professional industry.
Having been subjected to what would be described as bullying harassment from a male boss whilst working in further education a number of years ago, I can say that this type of behaviour is not limited to the television/entertainment industry. I did make a complaint, after seeing not only how he treated me but also how he subjected other female colleagues to his sociopathic and totally unacceptable actions. Unfortunately, despite approaching the other women to ask if they would support me, there was not a united front to pursue the matter collectively, as they were scared that they would lose their jobs. Vanessa makes a very valid point about the wielding of power by those who hold higher positions. In my case, I compiled a dossier of everything that my manager said and did that constituted his intimidating actions, with dates. Eventually, I managed to persuade one younger colleague to be a witness for me and I was able to take my case to human resources, where there was mediation, and my manager was "obliged" to apologise to me. His appalling behaviour towards me stopped, but I still doubted that he was sincerely sorry. His actions impacted my mental health at the time. It definitely takes courage to raise your voice to go against someone who has any kind of power, especially within institutions, where people collude to cover up any kind of questionable behaviour that upsets the perceived status quo.
This sort of behaviour goes on EVERYWHERE,there are men everywhere who act inappropriately and push boundarie and take advantage not just in the TV industry.Yes it might be that the star talent makes it worse but it goes on in every single industry.Most women have expereinced something like this whether at work or elsewhere...it just that most of you men do not notice it or think it happens only in certain places
@@upendasana7857 that's not the point I made. What I said was there are few industries where employees / stars are offered vast sums of money, sex and drugs as perks of the job, which is what Vanessa said was offered to her. This is therefore down to the culture of the television industry, and therefore radical changes are required.
This revelation, this story is so shocking I wouldn't believe it, except I totally trust the honesty of what Vanessa is saying!!! He has come out with an apology to the 'middle class women of a certain age' he targeted, earlier today, but he didn't include in that apology the actual women who have complained about his behaviour. Hopefully this investigation will properly get to the bottom of things with regard his unacceptable behaviour at the centre of this row.. Thank you for covering this Vanessa. X
Well said Vanessa. No presenter should be allowed the power they are afforded. It goes to their ego's and they believe they can get away with bad behaviour. The powers that be above any organisations should be held more accountable . If not, there are going to be others .Have they learnt nothing from cases like Saville, Harris etc. ?🤬
It's poor staff management. When Wallace was first hired for the juggernaut that is Masterchef, he should have been reprimanded privately as SOON as his darker personality and humour came out.

Exactly - he's been allowed to get away with it for years so it's become normal behaviour for him. Now he can't understand why people are complaining. He's too tone deaf to read the room.
They offered you drugs and sex??? No wonder TV personalities are nuts. Did you hear the taxi driver on LBC radio who said Wallace asked him about his sex life when he got in the cab? Wallace sounds like a sex addict to me, he is obsessed about sex and he cannot keep blurting it out in any situation, he needs serious help. When will these awful little men learn??
Absolutely correct in your understanding of the situation. Would like to add a question - why have other men, hearing and seeing this behaviour not called Greg out at the time ? The thing to think is always would you like your wife, girlfriend, daughter, etc endure this harassment in power ? We all need to call it out at the time, it doesn’t need a row, it needs a comment making immediately by people affected.
Thst why this is making so much noise. This is still a problem in our society. Even though we have supposedly had Equality legislation in the UK since the 1960s. I used to get sick of it in my time working through my teens in the ‘magical times of the 1960s.
Vanessa. If you're in the public eye, a household name, paid a great salary on account of your popularity by the very licence -payers/ticket-buyers/ who put you there in the first place, you have a responsibility to them. Wallace has catastrophically taken advantage of those very people, let alone his employers who he has let down at their cost. Misogynistic yes, narcissistic probably, a sexual pest it seems. Certainly he has no understanding of what he has done and therefore no genuine contrition. Not one iota of good manners either. I don't want to see him on my TV screen again.
I don’t believe Gregg Wallace’s status as a “star” is what makes him feel free to make lewd remarks to or about women whenever he feels like it. He has probably been that way since he was at school and will be too immature to realise that his contemptuous attitude extends to demean female members of his own family who (perhaps?) he may love. His inappropriate behaviour goes deeper than lack of good manners, there’s something twisted inside his head. Unfortunately he’s far from alone.
The bottom line is this alleged behaviour is not professional, woman are not sexual objects, and should be able to work without sleazy jokes and innuendos.
Where was John his co presenter while all these comments and behaviour was going on? Has he said anything about this? Greg Wallace would be best advised to keep quiet. Let this be investigated properly 🤔
John may have mentioned something to him there again perhaps he never heard him tell these jokes to the woman and if he did l am sure John would have warned him best not to tell these bad jokes.
Thank you for this video. The burning question that lots of people were thinking was why don’t people tell him. You have answered that really well. I feel sorry for him now and everyone in an exalted position because they can never really know who they are. We know who we are as we learn from others reactions to us.
I don't watch tv. I have seen this person on a screen and got a very bad vibe from him. These people are over paid talentless narcissists. The television companies have failed the employees numerous times from Jimmy Savile to whoever.
Whilst I do not think he has specifically broken laws he has revealed himself as an ignorant buffoon! He is entitled rude disgusting insensitive and so out of touch with the standards of today!
Absolutely spot on, Vanessa. I accept your heartfelt apology.😁 Really, how can some people not realise that this is how to behave when youve upset someone, or multiple people in this case?
@@Obi1Knobistyles-d6othey would have been young women at the start of their career. They would have been told to be quiet or made feel very uncomfortable. Be moved or demoted. You know this! It’s not the women’s fault. Stop blaming women for a man’s bad behaviour
@@jakskeys He hasnt been charged of anything yet? Young women, Kirsty wark, Mel Sykes, give me a break if your offended by something that was said to you over 10 years ago then you need help! I blame GW if its true, but to end his career over hearsay over a 14 yr period is a stitch up!
@ He hasn’t been charged because he hasn’t committed a crime. This situation for GW has been of his own making. Had he simply apologised for past behaviour then the matter could have been resolved easily and quickly. But he stupidly went on the attack. Basically telling women to shut up. So, he invited all the women he had offended in the past to come forward. He is the architect of his own downfall. Has been incredibly disrespectful and arrogant in his attitude to all women, not to mention his wife. It’s not about being offended about something that happened 10 years ago. He threw down the gauntlet when he refused to accept he did anything wrong and insulted all women who criticised his behaviour. You reap what you sow!
@@jakskeys How do you know he didnt apologize? Sounds like your judge and jury, typical of MSM dictating what you think! But you didnt look up Edwina Currie though?
The best comments I've seen about Gregg Wallace's behaviour - and probably the best advice he'll be given. I hope he reads it and follows your common-sense suggestions.
Thank you, Vanessa. So many men in the industry are protected by the powers that be. I can't wait for Louie Walsh to be called out, too. Twice, he was inappropriate with Mel B on live TV, and I know of many other incidents unreported.
I think he was just bragging to those women in the lift to come across as a sexy, desirable god when in fact , I’m betting nothing happened in his bedroom that morning other than his wife was still fast asleep when he left the house. Such sleazy behaviour, and I have no sympathy for him . If any man did or said anything that I found particularly offensive I don’t care who he is, I would let him know about it, and I’m not easily offended . I have a good sense of humour, but boundaries have to be respected by both men and women.
Feel really bad for his wife, it must be very humiliating for her thinking he was talking about her and their intimate moments like that, so disrespectful.
You hit the nail on the head Vanessa,well said. If he did as you suggested,people would be more inclined to forgive him. As it stands he’s just alienated everyone. Silly man.
Vanessa, you're so intelligent. The way you project your opinions is second to none. And this is no exception. The "star" of the show outside of the celebrity world can simply be the one who whose knowledge is totally relied upon. Making them very powerful. So powerful in fact, they think it's ok to send you messages about oral sex, make inappropriate remarks about your body, openly discuss you in front of other men in a sexual way. Abuse their position by pushing you out of the way in front of customers. Need I say more? There is more. But I wont say anymore. The simple fact is men are still getting away with this! Why, because if and when the victim reports it they're made to feel like a trouble maker, a prude (as I was called), not normal etc. I did report this individual and although it initially seemed that I had been taken seriously by the owner of the business, I later heard them talking about me to the rest of my male colleagues! I can't tell you how that made me feel. GW has, as you have so rightly pointed out, insulted all women with is comments and behaviour. And should be removed from his position of power.
OMG! At 05:28 Feltz says "Cos lets be honest its ALWAYS MEN!".. As a gay man, I have been BULLIED TO DEATH by WOMEN!!! I had to LEAVE my last job due to bullying in the workplace from a VILE Asian woman who was my manager!!!! HOW DARE you say "Lets me honest its ALWAYS MEN!"... NO ITS NOT!! Wow, hearing that was a REAL bash in the face to me (as a gay man), you need to THINK about what you say Vanessa because I loved you in Big Brother, but you have probably just ALIENATED half the population with your words... Can you answer me please? Because as a man, I feel really upset now...
Yesterday at a seniors social group a guy told a denigrating joke about women. Most of the group are women. They shook their heads and made tut tut noises because they'd been told jokes by men that put women down their whole life. 'That's just the way men are,' they said. I told him otherwise. These jokes are not ok. He couldn't apologise because he said it's just a joke and adding that he's among the most respectful men if women. The older women remained silent and then made excuses for him. His age, he honestly doesnt understand etc They told me I sounded hysterical. I'm sorry we are this way. I'm sorry that when a woman speaks out attempts are made to silence her, by the perp and the immediate sisterhood can't allow uncomfortable truths to have air. Listening to you this morning restored some of my serenity. Thank you and blessed be.
This video should have ended right at the point where Vanessa said "I haven't personally see or witnessed Gregg Wallace say any of these things". If she hasn't experienced it personally then perhaps she should but out. If ever there was a good example of creating meaningless content then this is it. I haven't personally witnessed it but I have a mate who knows a bloke down the pub who's sister, who said that her friend, who works in prosthetics on TV said that Vanessa is actually bald and wears a wig, She knows this because she was involved in making it up!
Very fair summary of events. Non attacking and factual. Your points are well made, why not apologise 🤷🏻♀️. I cringed when I heard his insta post about middle class middle aged women 🤦🏻♀️, he’s obviously not taking any advice on how to manage this situation. The man is clearly very unhappy but seem like he doesn’t even think he’s done anything wrong or understands that he has caused offence. I’m pretty gobsmacked that William Sitwell said “My mate Gregg has a mouth like Bernard Manning - but he’s a top bloke”. Bernard Manning would not have survived in TV in the past 10-15 years with his misogynistic foul mouth. I’m not sure why William thinks that comment is going to be of any help to Greg!
Indeed, clearly doesn’t get enough of ‘It’at home. Usually this is why men talk about ‘sex’ in front of women. I used to say, wow what a ‘chat up’ line.
There would have been men on the set, in the building etc.; how can we get men to call each other out more? GW's response is so typical, these sorts of people seem to think that being 'a women of a certain age/class' is an undermining quality. #heforshe
Thats very worrying for any woman alone with him - to come out with that out of the blue is totally unnecessary & intimidating to transgress the boundaries of both his wife & lady in the lift with him 😖
An apology & a Pen15 are very rarely in the same room !!!!! No wonder he has been divorced a few times …so disrespectful…GW doesn’t actually think he has done anything wrong ….As you say a complete Narcissist….
The guy's a creep and his behaviour gives men a bad name. We're not all like him ladies, most of us respect you and don't objectify.
🎯 👏👏 Incredibly well said and powerfully expressed. Bull's eye for you Vanessa! You have hit truth target... 👏👏 🎯
As per usual, very well said Vanessa and I agree with you entirely. Thankyou.
Well done Vanessa. You’re extremely eloquent, and I agree with everything you’ve said.

The BBC must have known!! The whole board needs to go they are a disgrace, how many times has this happened? Well done for calling them out Vanessa.
They knew about the grooming gangs too.
Very strange too how he isn't a qualified chef but is critiquing food.

Misogynistic yes, narcissistic probably, a sexual pest it seems. Certainly he has no understanding of what he has done and therefore no genuine contrition. Not one iota of good manners either. I don't want to see him on my TV screen again.
@Haberdashery22 why didn't these alleged victims fight their cases with a solicitor then.not leave it for years.
I don’t believe Gregg Wallace’s status as a “star” is what makes him feel free to make lewd remarks to or about women whenever he feels like it. He has probably been that way since he was at school and will be too immature to realise that his contemptuous attitude extends to demean female members of his own family who (perhaps?) he may love. His inappropriate behaviour goes deeper than lack of good manners, there’s something twisted inside his head. Unfortunately he’s far from alone.
The bottom line is this alleged behaviour is not professional, woman are not sexual objects, and should be able to work without sleazy jokes and innuendos.
Where was John his co presenter while all these comments and behaviour was going on?
Has he said anything about this?
Greg Wallace would be best advised to keep quiet.
Let this be investigated properly 🤔
John may have mentioned something to him there again perhaps he never heard him tell these jokes to the woman and if he did l am sure John would have warned him best not to tell these bad jokes.
@@marieross I believe greg doesn’t get on with him
@@sukichi332oh right that might explain a few things.
Thanks for that😊
@@margueritahancock5472 could be right there.
Career in tatters now, whatever the investigation findings 🤔
@ he’s apparently angry with John because he has not defended him, which says a lot.
Thank you for this video. The burning question that lots of people were thinking was why don’t people tell him. You have answered that really well. I feel sorry for him now and everyone in an exalted position because they can never really know who they are. We know who we are as we learn from others reactions to us.
I don't watch tv. I have seen this person on a screen and got a very bad vibe from him. These people are over paid talentless narcissists. The television companies have failed the employees numerous times from Jimmy Savile to whoever.
Whilst I do not think he has specifically broken laws he has revealed himself as an ignorant buffoon! He is entitled rude disgusting insensitive and so out of touch with the standards of today!
Absolutely spot on, Vanessa. I accept your heartfelt apology.😁 Really, how can some people not realise that this is how to behave when youve upset someone, or multiple people in this case?
100% correct Vanessa men in my age group 60+ just don't get it' they still think women should just stay quiet about these things
They stayed quiet for over a decade? You want equality tell him to shut up or apologize like any other human being would have to do!
@@Obi1Knobistyles-d6othey would have been young women at the start of their career. They would have been told to be quiet or made feel very uncomfortable. Be moved or demoted. You know this! It’s not the women’s fault. Stop blaming women for a man’s bad behaviour
@@jakskeys He hasnt been charged of anything yet? Young women, Kirsty wark, Mel Sykes, give me a break if your offended by something that was said to you over 10 years ago then you need help! I blame GW if its true, but to end his career over hearsay over a 14 yr period is a stitch up!
@ He hasn’t been charged because he hasn’t committed a crime. This situation for GW has been of his own making. Had he simply apologised for past behaviour then the matter could have been resolved easily and quickly. But he stupidly went on the attack. Basically telling women to shut up. So, he invited all the women he had offended in the past to come forward. He is the architect of his own downfall. Has been incredibly disrespectful and arrogant in his attitude to all women, not to mention his wife. It’s not about being offended about something that happened 10 years ago. He threw down the gauntlet when he refused to accept he did anything wrong and insulted all women who criticised his behaviour. You reap what you sow!
@@jakskeys How do you know he didnt apologize? Sounds like your judge and jury, typical of MSM dictating what you think! But you didnt look up Edwina Currie though?
The best comments I've seen about Gregg Wallace's behaviour - and probably the best advice he'll be given. I hope he reads it and follows your common-sense suggestions.
Agree
Well said. What is wrong with him?
Brilliant,you said all that was needed to be said.
Thank you, Vanessa. So many men in the industry are protected by the powers that be. I can't wait for Louie Walsh to be called out, too. Twice, he was inappropriate with Mel B on live TV, and I know of many other incidents unreported.
Well said Vanessa
I think he was just bragging to those women in the lift to come across as a sexy, desirable god when in fact , I’m betting nothing happened in his bedroom that morning other than his wife was still fast asleep when he left the house. Such sleazy behaviour, and I have no sympathy for him . If any man did or said anything that I found particularly offensive I don’t care who he is, I would let him know about it, and I’m not easily offended . I have a good sense of humour, but boundaries have to be respected by both men and women.
New subscriber ❤ thanks for your voice and making people realise they can speak out.
in other words Vanessa Gregg Wallace doesn't have the ***** to apologise, he's clearly too up himself to even think he should apologise!
Feel really bad for his wife, it must be very humiliating for her thinking he was talking about her and their intimate moments like that, so disrespectful.
Again ,well said Vanessa .
You hit the nail on the head Vanessa,well said. If he did as you suggested,people would be more inclined to forgive him. As it stands he’s just alienated everyone. Silly man.
Vanessa, you're so intelligent. The way you project your opinions is second to none. And this is no exception. The "star" of the show outside of the celebrity world can simply be the one who whose knowledge is totally relied upon. Making them very powerful. So powerful in fact, they think it's ok to send you messages about oral sex, make inappropriate remarks about your body, openly discuss you in front of other men in a sexual way. Abuse their position by pushing you out of the way in front of customers. Need I say more? There is more. But I wont say anymore. The simple fact is men are still getting away with this! Why, because if and when the victim reports it they're made to feel like a trouble maker, a prude (as I was called), not normal etc. I did report this individual and although it initially seemed that I had been taken seriously by the owner of the business, I later heard them talking about me to the rest of my male colleagues! I can't tell you how that made me feel. GW has, as you have so rightly pointed out, insulted all women with is comments and behaviour. And should be removed from his position of power.
Well argued and explained, Vanessa. ❤
What about Gino and his shouty mate Ramsey? Ross, Carey, Alan carr, Jo brand etc. Smut TV in your home going on for years. Not a patch on Wallace.
OMG! At 05:28 Feltz says "Cos lets be honest its ALWAYS MEN!".. As a gay man, I have been BULLIED TO DEATH by WOMEN!!! I had to LEAVE my last job due to bullying in the workplace from a VILE Asian woman who was my manager!!!! HOW DARE you say "Lets me honest its ALWAYS MEN!"... NO ITS NOT!! Wow, hearing that was a REAL bash in the face to me (as a gay man), you need to THINK about what you say Vanessa because I loved you in Big Brother, but you have probably just ALIENATED half the population with your words... Can you answer me please? Because as a man, I feel really upset now...
Yesterday at a seniors social group a guy told a denigrating joke about women. Most of the group are women. They shook their heads and made tut tut noises because they'd been told jokes by men that put women down their whole life. 'That's just the way men are,' they said.
I told him otherwise. These jokes are not ok. He couldn't apologise because he said it's just a joke and adding that he's among the most respectful men if women. The older women remained silent and then made excuses for him. His age, he honestly doesnt understand etc They told me I sounded hysterical.
I'm sorry we are this way. I'm sorry that when a woman speaks out attempts are made to silence her, by the perp and the immediate sisterhood can't allow uncomfortable truths to have air.
Listening to you this morning restored some of my serenity. Thank you and blessed be.
well said V
This video should have ended right at the point where Vanessa said "I haven't personally see or witnessed Gregg Wallace say any of these things". If she hasn't experienced it personally then perhaps she should but out. If ever there was a good example of creating meaningless content then this is it. I haven't personally witnessed it but I have a mate who knows a bloke down the pub who's sister, who said that her friend, who works in prosthetics on TV said that Vanessa is actually bald and wears a wig, She knows this because she was involved in making it up!
What a vile man !
I think everyone knows the type of man he is. He knows. Non of these stories remotely surprise us.
He doesn't apologise as he doesn't think he is in the wrong. He lacks a brain it seems.
On a side note, Vanessa your shirt looks stunning. 💙🤍
Agree 🤗
I’ve only just found your channel I’m looking forward to to watching you x
Very fair summary of events. Non attacking and factual. Your points are well made, why not apologise 🤷🏻♀️. I cringed when I heard his insta post about middle class middle aged women 🤦🏻♀️, he’s obviously not taking any advice on how to manage this situation. The man is clearly very unhappy but seem like he doesn’t even think he’s done anything wrong or understands that he has caused offence. I’m pretty gobsmacked that William Sitwell said “My mate Gregg has a mouth like Bernard Manning - but he’s a top bloke”. Bernard Manning would not have survived in TV in the past 10-15 years with his misogynistic foul mouth. I’m not sure why William thinks that comment is going to be of any help to Greg!
Remember when Vanessa (Melanie Sykes too) was on the Big Breakfast joining in and laughing at "inappropriate words" and "sexual innuendos"???
well done Vanessa, agree with everything you said !
Indeed, clearly doesn’t get enough of ‘It’at home. Usually this is why men talk about ‘sex’ in front of women. I used to say, wow what a ‘chat up’ line.
Real grown up men from any class know how to behave. Greg aint no Clark Gable.
Yes but unfortunately he or most men think they are…..
Clark gable was much worse 😂😂😂
Go Vanessa love your vloggs ❤
Well said Vanessa, looking great darlin 🎉
Same in any job NHS has similar who think they are above women!
...said to the Mrs. About a Year ago something doesn't sit right with me about him.
There would have been men on the set, in the building etc.; how can we get men to call each other out more? GW's response is so typical, these sorts of people seem to think that being 'a women of a certain age/class' is an undermining quality. #heforshe
I wondered how long it would be before you would offer your opinion. You really will comment on any subject as long as you can be in the limelight.
A good video, I’d like to hear your opinion on Philip Schofield - especially since you’ve remained friends
Oooooft !
Thats very worrying for any woman alone with him - to come out with that out of the blue is totally unnecessary & intimidating to transgress the boundaries of both his wife & lady in the lift with him 😖
I don't want to lower the tone, but where is that top/dress from I need it
Gorgeous
I’d love one it’s dressy 🤗
Gregg your finished mate enjoy your sausage rolls 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
An apology & a Pen15 are very rarely in the same room !!!!! No wonder he has been divorced a few times …so disrespectful…GW doesn’t actually think he has done anything wrong ….As you say a complete Narcissist….
Sounds like things need changing and the "star" needs to behave like everyone else - with dignity and respect or get fired... its simple really.
