Rod Stewart’s wife Penny Lancaster didn’t know that he was going to make accusations about Gregg Wallace’s behaviour until she saw his Instagram post, she’s revealed.Last month, Stewart alleged that broadcaster Wallace “humiliated” Lancaster on Celebrity MasterChef, which he judges.

The singer’s post came after a series of allegations led to Wallace stepping away from the MasterChef while production company Banijay UK investigates misconduct claims.Lawyers representing Wallace, 60, have strongly denied that “he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature.”Lancaster, a model and Loose Women panellist, said on the ITV show yesterday (December 12): “I didn’t realise my husband had sent that post out until it was out.

And of course, you can imagine the influx of inquiries there were.“I most definitely was witness and victim to some of the bullying and harassment behaviour of Gregg Wallace, and unfortunately a lot of those involved in the production team were also witness to that, and I really feel that he used his position of power to, I believe, intimidate and cause distress to a lot of people on set.

And it’s really unfortunate that someone like him is allowed to get away with that, and while others sort of stand by and let it happen at the same time.”A post shared by Sir Rod Stewart (@sirrodstewart)Her husband’s Instagram post read: “Good riddance Wallace … You humiliated my wife when she was on the show, but you had that bit cut out didn’t you?
