TV presenter Kirstie Allsop has claimed Gregg Wallace, 60, made sexual comments to her "one hour" after they met.
The 53-year-old said Wallace, "told me of a sex act that he & his partner at the time enjoyed 'every morning'."
The comments came as she and Wallace, 60, were filming a television pilot episode.
"Did he get off on how embarrassed I was? It was totally unprofessional," Allsop explained.
The broadcaster signed off saying: "I’m a #MiddleClassWomanOfaCertainAge"
The hashtag references a rant published by Wallace earlier this morning where he branded his accusers a "handful of middle class women of a certain age."

After her announcement, the Location, Location, Location host engaged with others on social media responding to her claims.
"Women, who unlike me, were brave enough to complain about it, should be supported," the 53-year-old said.
"Anyone who thinks it’s OK needs to ask their wife if it’s OK with her if they talk about their sex lives in the office tomorrow," she said, reacting to some criticising her for speaking out.
After some question of there was evidence of her claims, Allsopp said: "He said it in the Green Room. It was not on camera."

"No wonder Wallace feels empowered to drill down, the replies on this are incredible," Allsopp posted.
She added: "I wonder why people don’t speak up…." in reaction to the fallout.
Continuing to address the responses, the 53-year-old asked rhetorically: "Do you think this all a bit unfair on Gregg?"
She added: "If so find your wife/GF/Sister/Mum and ask if they think it’s OK for you/their partner to make a comment about your bedroom activities to a woman you/they have just met at work."
The real estate show presenter observed that Wallace could have apologised for his mistakes but chose not to.
Allsopp wrote he instead: "said it’s a matter of class & age and he’s not the problem."
Latest Developments:
Wallace's lawyers deny the accusations
Wallace stepped-back from his role as a presenter and judge on MasterChef this week after a number of allegations that he made sexual comments towards celebrity guests and show staff emerged.
The 60-year-old's lawyers have previously said: "It is entirely false that he (Wallace) engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature."
However, MasterChef production company Banijay UK has "committed to fully co-operating throughout the process" and called on anyone who has a complaint against Wallace to come forward.
