Now, a former contestant has claimed that Wallace groped her while she was cooking on set of the show while the cameras were rolling.
Allegedly, he shouted “Stupid cow” when she turned on the wrong faucet and burned her hand.
The woman claims she let Wallace know she was appalled by his actions, but said she “had her card marked” so she didn’t take it as a joke.
The contestant who claims she was groped in her MasterChef kitchen told The Sun: “At the start of filming he came up behind me while I was standing at the counter and looked over my shoulder.
“He put his hands on my hips, moved to my back and pressed me. I let out an ‘eeeu’ sound and stepped forward.
“It was my immediate reaction. But that set his teeth on edge and he continued on without saying anything.
It comes as…
“At that moment he decided to be an absolute asshole. Moments later I got burned.
“I turned on the faucet by mistake, I burned my hands. “I couldn’t stop screaming. It really hurt. He was a few steps away, heard me and shouted, ‘You stupid fucking cow’.
“I wanted him to know that you don’t play this game.
“I thought that I had been preparing for this competition for so long and that it was in his hands whether I would pass.

“But at the same time, I’m not going to prostitute myself for any cooking show.
“With him it seemed like you obey or you don’t do well. I didn’t do very well.
“It was awful. He offered no help. I wanted to cry. My hands hurt, but it was more of a shock that someone would act like that. It’s not natural.
“At the time, I didn’t know if he was married. But I thought if this man has a wife, God help her.”
She claimed she had moved away and said he later yelled “You stupid cow” when she burned her hand.
The woman, who asked not to be named, said she let Wallace know she was disgusted but “had her card marked” so she didn’t take it as a joke.
Another woman claims Wallace told her in a busy pub that she turned him on, made more lewd comments and squeezed his bum.
In a third accusation, Celebrity MasterChef contestant Emma Kennedy yesterday claimed she saw co-host Wallace grope a cameraman during a taping for the 2012 finalists.
And a former employee claimed he made offensive Asian remarks on set in 2017.
A spokesman for Wallace has been contacted about the claims.
The Sun first reported on Wallace’s behavior last month.
He resigned on Thursday as allegations of misconduct are investigated, with singer Sir Rod Stewart accusing him of humiliating his wife Penny on the show.
