Gregg Wallace sparks fury as he 'profits off guide to menopause book' - after blaming 'middle-class women of a certain age' for his downfall amid sexual misconduct storm

Gregg Wallace is reportedly profiting off a guide to menopause penned by a middle-aged woman, despite him blaming 'middle-class women of a certain age' for his downfall. 

The MasterChef star, 60, stepped down from his role as judge on the BBC show last after 13 women accused the presenter of inappropriate behind-the-scenes conduct while co-hosting the long-running show - which he strongly denies.

Now it's been revealed he is selling the book, written by middle-aged nutritional therapist Kat Bright through his website. 

The description reads: 'Are you experiencing the menopause? Are you struggling to lose weight? Have a read of this incredible useful guide written by nutritionist, Kat, who specialises in female mid-life weight loss and health'.

'In here you will learn lots about the menopause and what happens to your body during this time, the reasons you may be struggling to lose weight, ways to adapt your lifestyle making weight loss possible as well as some tasty recipes to follow'.

Meanwhile according to The Sun the book also states:  'Kat herself is in her midlife and experiencing the menopause and so has a special interest in helping women to navigate this period of their life.

'She believes that optimal health doesn't end at 40 and helps women to thrive after 40.'

MailOnline have contacted Gregg's representatives for comment.

Gregg made the ill-advised call of trying to defend himself in what can only be described as a train-wreck video posted on his Instagram Stories earlier this month.

Addressing his followers, the former BBC host claimed all the complaints against him are 'coming from a handful of middle-class women of a certain age' and declared 'this isn't right'.

He went on to ask: 'Can you imagine how many women on MasterChef have made sexual remarks or sexual innuendo?'

Since then, several high-profile names - including TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson as well as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer - have condemned his remarks in public statements.

His statement has also been turned into merchandise items like printed slogan T-shirts, pins and brooches, wall art, and mugs available for sale on Instagram and Etsy - as women across the UK called Gregg out for his 'tone-deaf' and misogynistic defence.

The TV personality later apologised after his controversial comments on Instagram caused another PR storm, blaming 'a huge amount of stress' and 'a lot of emotion' for the error.

The U-turn came hours after an insider told MailOnline he had 'gone rogue' and was ignoring 'all advice' about how to salvage his TV career following the scandal.

Gregg  said: 'I want to apologise for any offence that I caused with my post yesterday and any upset I have caused to a lot of people'.

While TV psychologist Jo Hemmings said: 'When is an apology, not an apology? Gregg Wallace backtracking on his misogyny to salvage his career, but no regrets about his long-term inappropriate behaviour'.

One social media responded: 'Gregg Wallace did not apologise for his comment and thoughts, he apologised if it caused offence. Standard non apology, apology’.

The former greengrocer is facing claims from at least 13 women, including Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark, who have accused him of inappropriate behaviour - including roaming around on set naked with a sock on his penis, inappropriate jokes and groping crew members. 

Other claims include talking about his sex life on set, asking for women's numbers and repeatedly questioning a gay woman about the 'logistics' of dating other women 

Gregg's lawyers said 'it is entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature'. 

Actress and author Emma Kennedy revealed she complained about Wallace to Masterchef's production firm in 2012, after she allegedly saw him groping a camera assistant. 

The winner of the seventh edition of Celebrity MasterChef, she detailed the encounter in a post on Thread, writing: 'I complained about behaviour I witnessed on MasterChef in 2012. They knew then. 

'They knew before then and they've known since.' 

A MasterChef producer, Georgia Harding claimed she raised concerns about 'inappropriate' behaviour from the star while working on the show, The Sunday Telegraph reported.

She alleged the presenter undressed in front of colleagues and 'made inappropriate sexual jokes' in front of the crew and people appearing on the shows - adding there was an 'acceptance' of his behaviour. 

Broadcaster Aasmah Mir, who appeared on the twelfth series of Celebrity MasterChef, claims he asked her to tell a colleague she was a 'sexy b****' and told a fellow contestant she was 'handling fish like a rapist'.

She reportedly complained about inappropriate comments in a letter. After the letter was forwarded in November 2017 to BBC executive Kate Phillips, who now oversees unscripted programmes for the broadcaster, she said his behaviour on set was 'unacceptable and cannot continue', the Sunday Times reported.

Wallace also allegedly had to apologise after making a 'rape joke' when filming series 12 of Celebrity MasterChef, which aired in 2017, which caused another female contestant to become 'really distressed'.

Model Ulrika Jonsson, who competed in the series, recently also told The Telegraph she did not hear the joke but said that when another contestant walked off the set, she was told what had occurred.

Women who worked on Gregg Wallace's Big Weekends in 2019, which aired on Channel 5, recalled recently that he had made a number of inappropriate comments to staff members during production.

One woman said he talked about sex, domination and spanking, and that he was 'fascinated' that she dated women and asked her the 'logistics' of how it worked.

Another woman said he allegedly showed her photos of a woman in her underwear while they were travelling in a car together.

Meanwhile, a third woman who worked with the TV presenter on BBC's Eat Well For Less TV show in 2019 recalled him making comments on how his wife was only two years older than her.

She told the BBC that after she went to his car to sort his parking ticket, he allegedly replied: 'You can come to my car, but can you handle the fact everyone will think you just got off with a celebrity?'

The ghostwriter of Gregg's autobiography recently accused the MasterChef presenter of sexually harassing her on multiple occasions in his house, at a restaurant and in his sports car.

Shannon Kyle, who wrote Gregg's 2012 memoir Life On A Plate, claims the BBC star answered the door in just a towel, which he later dropped, made 'revolting' and 'sickening' sexualised remarks and touched her inappropriately.

Former Newsnight host Kirsty, who appeared on the celebrity edition of Masterchef, said he used 'sexualised language'.

'There were two occasions in particular where he used sexualised language in front of a number of people and it wasn't as if anyone engaged with this. It was completely one-way traffic,' she said.

'I think people were uncomfortable and something that I really didn't expect to happen.'
