MasterChef viewers spot Gregg Wallace's awkward remark as show airs despite allegations against him

ok.co.uk:

Gregg Wallace, who has recently made headlines, experienced an awkward exchange with a contestant on Monday's episode of MasterChef: The Professionals.

Despite stepping down from his presenting duties last week, he was still featured questioning French contestant Gaston about his Greek-inspired dish.

Gaston, when explaining the sauce he was making, said to Gregg: "It is a sauce from Greece and I am using egg, lemon juice and dill." Gregg, curious, asked: "Why all of a sudden have we crossed over from France to Greece?" Gaston shared his fond memories, responding: "Greece is the first country I had travelled to for work, I had lived there probably a year.

Loved the food, loved the people." The moment grew more tense as Gregg asked: "How do I say goodbye in Greek?" to which Gaston taught him: "Αντίο." Gregg couldn't help but comment: "Beautiful stuff." Viewers didn’t miss a beat, pointing out the relevance of Gregg learning to say goodbye in Greek during these final moments of his tenure on the show.
