Gregg Wallace sought £10k from BBC. He's getting nothing.
Former MasterChef presenter Gregg Wallace has discontinued his High Court claim against the BBC and BBC Studios, receiving no payment in costs or damages. Wallace had sought up to £10,000, alleging the broadcaster caused him distress and harassment by failing to hand over his personal data. A preliminary hearing due on 16 February was cancelled shortly beforehand. Wallace was sacked last July after an investigation upheld more than 40 misconduct allegations against him.
