PENNY Lancaster has claimed that she was bullied by Gregg Wallace on Celebrity MasterChef.
The Loose Women star, 53, said she believes the show judge used his position to "intimidate and cause distress".
She added she was shocked when she found out her husband, Sir Rod Stewart, 79, had publicly lashed out at Wallace last month in a rant that alleged the presenter humiliated her when she took part on Celebrity MasterChef in 2021.
Penny said: "I most definitely was witness and victim to some of the bullying and harassment behaviour of Gregg Wallace. Unfortunately, a lot of those involved in the production team were also witness to that.
"I really feel that he used his position of power to, I believe, intimidate and cause distress to a lot of people on set."
Talking on Loose Women, she added: "It's really unfortunate someone like him is allowed to get away with that, while others sort of let it happen."
