The BBC has firmly countered Gregg Wallace's £10,000 damages claim following his dismissal from MasterChef
The presenter, aged 60, recently took his case to London's High Court, aiming to retrieve confidential documents he believes could exonerate him and restore his earnings
The BBC's legal team argues that Wallace's claim lacks merit, asserting that he did not notify them before pursuing legal action
The corporation contends that the documents were voluntarily provided, undermining his claim of distress
Additionally, Wallace is reportedly considering a disability claim related to his recently diagnosed autism, citing a lack of support during his tenure on the programme.
