Despite initially planning to air all pre-recorded episodes, the decision was reversed due to the nature of the allegations. Wallace, who has denied engaging in sexually harassing behavior, stepped aside from the show amid an investigation. The BBC and production company Banijay UK are looking into the claims, which include inappropriate comments and behavior on set.
