Why is he so obnoxious? I have a real irrational dislike of him. Am I unreasonable?!?

www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/masterchefs-gregg-wallace-punched-man-in-the-face-for-groping-his-girlfriend-8773761.html He sounds delightful.

Let’s hope his latest marriage lasts longer than any of the others, they’re having a baby.

I really can’t fathom how he gets so much TV work, I give him a very wide berth.

I met him years ago and he was really nice. Spoke to me and DS for ages

CakeNinja · 21/12/2018 07:02

Also, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but with all that time with the camera pointing at his mouth, you’d think he might have sorted out his bloody teeth Shock

TheQueef · 21/12/2018 07:06

He is winding me up this year.
Why is he presenting 15 various food programs?
He's a green grocer.
I will happily buy produce from him but I don't value his opines on owt else.

The way he licks spoons is indecent, it should be stopped.

longwayoff · 21/12/2018 07:09

Oh YES Ninja, how annoying is that programme? Its the pits. Hey stupid people, are you feeling short of money? Then don't spend so much. Thanks GregG.

SillySallySingsSongs · 21/12/2018 07:15

I have met him numerous times and he has always been nice. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I got a Facebook messenger message recently inviting me to go on that 'eat for less' whatever it's called program (I think because I'm on vegan fit Facebook pages). That'll be a 'no' then!

treaclesoda · 21/12/2018 07:17

That programme is a guilty pleasure for me. I enjoy shouting 'no one needs 45 packets of crisps' at the people doing their shopping, and then laughing at them when they are adamant that their tea bags have been swapped for cheaper ones but they're actually the same ones.

My husband adds to the fun by saying 'ooh, I bet you wish GregG would appear in our kitchen' because he knows how much he repulses me.

TheVanguardSix · 21/12/2018 07:22

I always think he looks like one of the faces in that "guess who" game.

Excellent! Grin Grin Grin

Odious, shouty, testicle with legs!

Shockers · 21/12/2018 07:25

Grin@ showofhands

DH has just asked me to stop laughing because I’m annoying him.

I must say I enjoyed his factory programmes. I think he is genuinely interested in how things are made.

Oblomov18 · 21/12/2018 07:28

Guess who.

DeloresJaneUmbridge · 21/12/2018 07:29

I know people who’ve had the misfortune to encounter him as a customer. He is indeed a very obnoxious and nasty little man, and they were glad to be rid of him.

BathshebaKnickerStickers · 21/12/2018 07:32

I have a massive crush on Gregg Wallace.

I luffs him.

Sorry.

wowfudge · 21/12/2018 07:36

I remember the late, great Sir Terry calling him The Costermonger when he discussed MasterChef on his radio show. A brilliant put down.

potterbell · 21/12/2018 07:37

Awful presenter. I quite like that inside factory prog but he bloody ruins it with his ridiculous attempt at chat and jokes. It's so hard to watch.

But I was so obsessed with how quality street are made I had to put up with him. Cannot believe he has so much air time on mainstream tv.

wowfudge · 21/12/2018 07:38

And whilst we're at it - the Factory at Christmas: for someone who claims to work in the food industry, can he really be so dim about how things are made?

looktothewesternsky · 21/12/2018 08:19

I think I actually love you all.

Apparently he connects with the mass market and makes MC seem less foodie and snobby so as to appeal to a larger market.

I hate him. He knows nothing about food.

MC shoujd be snobby about food that’s the whole point of it!

But you know, the BBC has to keep dumbing itself down to suit the dumb population.

SushiMonster · 21/12/2018 08:27

Also the factory program is fascinating, and Gregg ruins it.

Shirleyphallus · 21/12/2018 08:41

Come over to the Masterchef threads and you’ll find your people, everyone over there hates him

Except me. I bumped in to him in the gym and he had very muscular calves and wasn’t unattractive. Now I’ve very confused.

longwayoff · 21/12/2018 08:45

Oh, right, he's there to make us common people feel at home. Thanks bbc.

Disfordarkchocolate · 21/12/2018 08:49

I stopped watching MasterChef, despite my Marcus Waring crush, because I couldn't watching Gregg anymore. I wish they would replace him.
