He allegedly boasted about his sex life and was accused of taking off his top in front of the woman who felt it was inappropriate. Wallace exited the BBC series Inside The Factory amid claims that he had behaved offensively towards workers and persisted in using disrespectful language, particularly towards female colleagues.
