Jack Whitehall leaves One Show presenters speechless with series of Gregg Wallace jibes during interview

He couldn't resist poking fun

Jack Whitehall couldn't resist poking fun at Gregg Wallace during an appearance on The One Show yesterday (2 December).

You might have heard by now that the MasterChef presenter has stepped back from his duties, though the episodes featuring him already filmed will still air, after a number of allegations were made against him

13 women made 'allegations of inappropriate sexual comments' against Wallace, including BBC broadcaster Kirsty Wark who had been a Celebrity MasterChef contestant in 2011.

Wallace has stepped away from the show as a result while the claims made against him are currently being investigated, while his lawyers say it is 'entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature'.

He then made a move which would likely have had his PR team pulling their hair out as he shared a statement hitting out at 'middle class women of a certain age'.

"I’ve been doing MasterChef for 20 years, amateur, celebrity and professional MasterChef, and I think, in that time, I have worked with over 4,000 contestants of all different ages, all different backgrounds, all walks of life," he said in a video.

"Apparently now, I’m reading in the paper, there’s been 13 complaints in that time.

"In the newspapers, I can see the complaints coming from a handful of middle class women of a certain age just from Celebrity MasterChef. This isn't right."

Wallace then put out another video saying he wanted to 'apologise for any offence that I caused with my post yesterday and any upset I may have caused to a lot of people', adding that he 'wasn't in a good head space' when he posted it.

Now, Jack Whitehall has turned his comments into jokes in an appearance on The One Show.

While he was there to promote his Christmas special Jack in Time for Christmas he couldn't resist bringing up the comments made by Wallace.

The comedian said he'd worked with Michael Bublé on his now show and it felt good to 'do something that is good to appeal to a different audience'.

He went on to say that he was hoping to appeal to a 'much maligned' demographic, and that was 'middle-class women of a certain age'.

Whitehall said: "I absolutely love them. They love a bit of Michael Bublé. I got him on the show, he is an absolute granny magnet.

"I love that we’re given this lovely gift to middle-class women of a certain age."

Picking up what Whitehall was putting down, One Show hosts Alex Jones and Roman Kemp tried to move on, with Jones saying 'we will move past that'.

The comedian later quipped that a movie being promoted on the show, Lost Ladies, 'appeals to middle-class lost ladies of a certain age', with Jones again nipping him in the bud before he could say more by telling him 'yes it does Jack, yes it does'.
