Sir Rod Stewart has branded Gregg Wallace “old yellow teeth” in another swipe at the MasterChef judge.
The legendary singer, 79, previously claimed the presenter ‘bullied’ his wife Penny Lancaster when she was a contestant on the Celebrity version of the cooking show. But now Sir Rod has taken another dig at Wallace, who has stepped away MasterChef following allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
Sir Rod was seen entering a car after a Christmas night out at a bar in Claridges in London. A photographer asked him if he would be inviting Gregg round for Christmas dinner, and the Maggie May hitmaker had a savage response.

In a video obtained by MailOnline, the star replied: “What, old yellow teeth?” which sent the photographers into fits of laughter. Earlier this week, Sir Rod hit out at Gregg on Instagram for allegedly ‘humiliating his wife’ on Celebrity MasterChef back in 2021.
Taking to Instagram following news Wallace had stepped away from the show, Rod penned: “Good riddance Wallace… You humiliated my wife when she was on the show, but you had that bit cut out didn’t you? You’re a tubby, bald-headed, ill-mannered bully. Karma got ya. Sir Rod Stewart.”
He has been accused by 13 people of making inappropriate sexual remarks across several shows over a 17-year period. He has stepped away from MasterChef as complaints against him are investigated.
Wallace has previously denied making inappropriate sexual comments and his lawyers told BBC News ‘it is entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature’. Wallace is also accused of groping individuals.
The BBC announced that two Celebrity MasterChef specials, a Celebrity MasterChef Christmas Cook Off and a Strictly Festive Extravaganza, have been pulled from its festive schedule due to the investigation.
The BBC said: “As we have said, MasterChef is an amazing competition which is life-changing for the chefs taking part and the current series of MasterChef: The Professionals is continuing as planned. The celebrity Christmas specials are obviously a different type of show and in the current circumstances we have decided not to broadcast them.”
Three episodes of BBC Two’s Inside The Factory, which are repeats, are also coming out of the schedule, the BBC said. The Celebrity MasterChef Christmas Cook Off, was set to feature Emmerdale actor Amy Walsh, comedian Shazia Mirza, reality star Luca Bish, and The Wanted singer Max George, who all appeared on Celebrity MasterChef last year, all competing for the glittery Golden Whisk Trophy.
