Youre just sitting there and if youre on the front bench just chopping away thinking, "Ive got ten minutes left", and hes saying, "So this girl walked into a bar…"
And Im going, "Please I dont want to hear this joke".
Her husband John, 59, who was on stage with her to promote their new book, told her: Its changed quite a lot really…
It comes after Gregg, 59, yesterday denied claims he boasted about his sex life to a younger female BBC employee and took his top off in front of her while filming a game show, saying he would never flirt with or hit on another woman.
Bosses at the corporation are said to have hauled the MasterChef co-host into a meeting in 2018 following allegations of inappropriate sexual comments and told him to change his behaviour.
An insider claims Gregg brushed it off as just banter having been reported for making consistent inappropriate comments to the member of the production team while working on game show Impossible Celebrities.
But taking to Instagram this morning, Wallace hit back at the allegations in an emotional video saying he is madly in love with his wife, Anna.

Her husband John, 59, (pictured together in 2019) who was on stage with her to promote their new book, told her: Its changed quite a lot really…
He said: The story thats hitting the newspapers this morning was investigated promptly when it happened six years ago by the BBC.
And the outcome of that was that I hadnt said anything sexual. Ill need to repeat this again. I didnt say anything sexual.
Despite what the newspapers are suggesting nobody six years ago accused me of flirting with anybody or hitting on anybody.
And the reason I say this is because of my wife Anna. I have always been true to my wife Anna and have never flirted or hit on anybody in the 12 years [since] I met her and fell in love with her.
And its important that, so that people dont misunderstand that, that I am true to my wife.
The allegations have only now emerged amid the BBC this week launching a probe into workplace culture as bosses aim to crack down on the abuse of power.
