Dave Gorman has revealed that an entire episode of his upcoming series Modern Life Is Goodish was axed because it heavily featured TV presenter Gregg Wallace. 

Wallace stepped down from MasterChef at the end of 2024 following multiple complaints and allegations of sexual misconduct, which he has denied. 

The 60-year-old was accused of making "inappropriate sexual jokes," making lewd comments on set, requesting phone numbers from female production staff, and undressing in front of women on set. 

And now Gorman revealed that they scrapped an episode in his upcoming series due to the BBC star’s recent controversies because it was "75 per cent about Gregg Wallace”. 

The 53-year-old told said: “We made four [episodes]. But one of them is 75% about Gregg Wallace. It’s in the bin.” 

The episode was completed just before the allegations against Wallace and presented him in a positive light. 

However, following the controversy, airing the episode in the upcoming series, which launches on February 24 on Sky, was deemed inappropriate. 

He added: “It’s sort of taking the p**s out of him but in a very loving way, tongue in cheek.” 

Gorman added that they tried to remove mentions of Wallace in order to salvage the episode – but it was impossible. 

“It’s a structured piece with a flow to it. Every routine connects to every other routine,” he added before joking, “What I’m saying is: I’m the real victim.”
