Gregg Wallace

[looktothewesternsky]

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

I think I'm prouder of starting this thread than most of the major things in my life.

Merry Christmas, one and all.

A PP said he “switches it on” and it’s so true
The time I met him he had his arm round a woman laughing and joking on camera but as soon as the take was over it was like someone flicked a switch and he was 100% dick ( until the next take)
He actually shouted at me and was most put out when I told him not to, I think I was supposed to say “oh I’m terribly sorry Mr Wallace Sir” abs kiss his arse ( I didn’t)

LAAAAVLEY.

He’s a prick.

OMFG.

His gurgling child laughs when he goes round those factories on that show. Fuck me, shut up. It's like his IQ is well below 50.

An old flatmate used to work at Soho House...he's a lecherous creep.

I read an interview with him a while ago in which he was just unbearably smug(g) about the gigantic sums of money he gets paid for his media work. I can’t look at him without remembering how spectacularly pleased he is with himself about being paid ££££ to fill his face.

However until now I had at least enjoyed blissful ignorance concerning his underwear situation.

I once saw him host a live 'ready steady cook' thing at a food festival (this is at least ten years ago) and he was AWFUL. One of the guests brought fish and GW said "you do know only homosexual men eat fish, right?".

Thankfully the guest had the presence of mind to look him in the eye and say "well as I am a homosexual man that's fine, isn't it?".

Brace yourselves, because although I swear a bit in speech, I don't like committing it to text. In this case though I am perfectly content to say the man's a twat, and a homophobic one at that.

NOMINATE FOR CLASSICS!!!

@FreezerBird if I ever meet him I'll tell him I don't eat fish but my straight brother does

I like factory programmes but only ones with a voiceover. Nobody prattling around the factory floor yelling CHOCKLIT

Gregg says 'cor'...

You're welcome

I was about to say that I agree with most of these posts. However, i really fancy him!
That was true until I saw that picture!

Back in October I was looking for a theatre visit around Christmas and spotted an ad for "It doesn't get tougher than this. An evening with Gregg Wallace". . My thoughts exactly. Who would?

He and the godforsaken Nick Knowles have definitely got something on the BBC commissioning editors. How else to explain their TV work?

At least Wallace hasn’t released an album...yet. Imagine that.

Didnt he punch a waiter beause he thought he was 'chattin up is' bird'?

Love this thread. The other person who says 'Choclit' is Marjorie Dawes from Little Britain's Fat Fighters group.

The other one looks like he sleeps in the kitchen every night.

Ah, you should all join us on the various MC live threads. The thing that unites us is our loathing of Gregggggg. Not for nothing is our rallying call "Shut up Gregg!" (Or fuck off, depending on our mood)

I don't mind him.

I can not stand him. I have no reason to feel like that- never met him, know nothing about him- but he makes all my radars go into overdrive and I just can't bear him. I think he is smug, not very bright, talks rubbish, is not a genuine person and is intensely irritating. As I say, I have no real reason for feeling this strongly about him but I do.

He looks like a big toe in treacle's photo

This thread is a gift, cheers OP

@Patroclus

That is absolutely brilliant

I particularly enjoy the reference to Leslie Grantham

Another one who has an utter loathing for him. I suffer from a sort of Gregg induced Tourette's. The only one of his programmes I can stand is professional Masterchef, and even then only on delay so I can fast forward all his inane utterances.

The sight of him scarfing down the most amazing food at the world's greatest restaurants, makes me feel homicidal towards Gregg.

Another vote for classics.

Love the mc threads although I don't watch the professionals.

I'm still struggling with nightmares after hearing Gregggggg on 'Inside the Factory' utter the frankly terrifying line 'My liquid delivery has been pumped to the silos through 80 metres of pipes'.

There isn't enough brain-bleach in the world to erase that one

That shitty programme where he tells people to spend less on food drives me nuts.

He laughs hysterically whilst saying stuff like' HAHAHA you just spent £4 on CHEESE', then looking smugly at the camera.

That his facial expression makes me think of someone being taken up the rear by a unlubricated broom doesn't help.
