It was announced on Tuesday that Dent will judge the next series of Celebrity MasterChef alongside Torode amid a storm of sexual misconduct allegations against Wallace.
The food writer, who regularly appears on the BBC show, said he's 'speaking from his own experience' after 13 people accused Gregg of 'wrong' and inappropriate 'sexualised' behaviour.
AMANDA PLATELL: How the Gregg Wallace scandal has brought a horrid kaleidoscope of buried memories flooding back and left her more furious tan ever about her treatment by some men.
Throwing his support behind Gregg, the broadcasting veteran said he would be 'very sorry' to see the 60-year-old host of MasterChef permanently cancelled from the small screen.
Both Gregg Wallace and Gino have been overexposed - in every sense of the word - and it's become their downfall, says Caroline Bullock - as both face accusations of inappropriate behaviour.
