The Telegraph
About this episode

Masterchef host Gregg Wallace has responded to allegations of inappropriate behaviour via an Instagram message, claiming the accusations have only come from “middle-class women of a certain age”.


The presenter has since apologised - but questions remain for the BBC and for Banijay, the production company behind MasterChef, as to why they didn’t act sooner over Wallace’s alleged behaviour.


Kamal and Camilla are joined by The Telegraph’s Sophie Barnes who helped to break the story for our investigations team.


And as opinion polls show that Keir Starmer’s approval ratings are falling, he has announced his ‘Plan for Change’ for the “next phase” of government. Is this the PM’s relaunch? And is it a little too late?
