Monday’s front pages lead with the ongoing backlash facing MasterChef host Gregg Wallace. The fallout over allegations of misconduct has spiralled after he dismissed the accusations against him as from “middle-class women of a certain age.” 

Wallace has been accused of engaging in sexually harassing behaviour. He denies all allegations. 

Several front pages continue their coverage of the assisted dying bill that was passed on Friday. There are also reports on Labour’s NHS plans and a recent poll suggesting the British public favours a closer relationship with the EU than a free trade deal with the US. 

On the international front, many papers find space to report on the latest happenings in Syria. The country’s civil war is back in the spotlight after a new rebel coalition launched a surprise attack, sweeping into the country’s second-largest city, Aleppo. 

The back pages offer their assessments of last night’s Premier League Super Sunday – with Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Manchester City the highlight.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said a new phase for his government will begin this week, under what he calls a “plan for change” for Britain.

Gregg Wallace has hit back at allegations of historic misconduct, saying they have come from a “handful of middle-class women of a certain age”.

Russia carried out “a series of air strikes” in Syria early on Sunday as rebels advanced towards the south, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).
