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.
