The BBC is fresh in the middle of a new crisis as MasterChef presenter Gregg Wallace faces accusations of inappropriate behaviour. On Thursday, MasterChef’s production company said Wallace will step away from presenting the show while allegations of historical misconduct are investigated.

The upcoming assisted dying vote in the Commons today dominates much of the news. The vote is expected to be tight and at least 100 MPs remain undecided.

MasterChef TV host Gregg Wallace has stepped down from his role following more allegations of sexual assault. The claims are from 13 people, across five shows, from 2005 to 2022. One of them was the broadcaster Kirsty Wark, a Celebrity MasterChef contestant in 2011, who said he told “sexualised” jokes during filming.

Transport Secretary Louise Haigh has stepped down from her role after she admitted pleading guilty to a criminal offence relating to a police investigation over a mobile phone she claimed was stolen.

MPs will vote on the assisted dying bill today, MPs are said to be divided over the legislation and it’s not clear if it will pass. This Friday will mark the first time MPs will have voted on such a measure in nearly 10 years.

Police are continuing investigations into the late Harrods owner Mohammed al-Fayed who has been accused by at least 100 women of sexual assault and rape. If the allegations prove true his crimes could be on the scale of Jimmy Saville. There are also reports that associates of Al Fayed are “being probed on claims they enabled his sex abuse.”
