He's getting some stick / piss taking for this.
The thing that struck me is he spends 1hr 30 with his son, who he also admits he didn't want, but hours in the gym, going out for breakfast, gaming etc. He's living the life of a single man but has a wife to do everything and have his lunch on the table by 12.
If she posted on here the cry of LTB would be unanimous.

That Guardian piece is hilarious. He really is the wanker's wanker.

My biggest question is how does it take 90 minutes to eat soup

I imagine it's difficult to swallow when you're put off by your child, face pressed to the window waiting for daddy to join them in the garden for 'Happy Hour and a Half'.

I hate him most when he bawls at a trembling nervous mchef contestant STOP SHAKING! In his most helpful shouty bullying manner. He and I wouldn't survive long in a kitchen together. I'm amazed nobody's punched him. Perhaps they have.

Lest we forget another bizarre day in the bizarre life of another bizarre man...I bring you, Orlando Bloom....

Who has two meals back to back? Otherwise ... not exactly parent of the year!

When will women learn, he's obviously not good father material hence the number of ex's

newnamethanks · 06/02/2024 17:27

Thank the lord Bloom's in LA and not on telly all the time in everything giving us his newly acquired expertise on something/everything. And SHOUTING.

Raspberrymoon49 · 06/02/2024 17:29

I know someone who has worked with him, said he’s a complete prick

IClaudine · 06/02/2024 17:30

And then there is this one, which has to be a piss take?

Orlando Bloom is so similar to his ex wife Miranda Kerr in terms of the whole healthy privileged rich white people way who can afford to dream and live an airy fairy lifestyle. I love it!

RafaistheKingofClay · 06/02/2024 17:33

I would love to hear the gym staffs’ side of the story on how they came to open half an hour early for him.

35965a · 06/02/2024 17:36

He has to be trolling. He just has to be, right? Like the Tom Hollander one. Orlando Bloom definitely wasn’t trolling, he just lives on another planet.

Candleabra · 06/02/2024 17:36

I’ve always thought GW has dodgy pics of someone high up in television. How he gets so much work I will never know. I could list everything I hate about him and that article but it would annoy me too much and I don’t need that level of stress in my life.

minipie · 06/02/2024 17:39

Who the fuck writes in print that they didn’t want their child?

And if he’s a better father this time round… I dread to think what he was like the first time 😕

GiftedDog · 06/02/2024 17:39

I adored Tom Hollander's day! Relate so much 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Totallymessed · 06/02/2024 17:40

I think you should ask Mumsnet to edit your thread title OP. Gregg doesn't like people forgetting his second g.

Given it's mostly plugs for his various ventures, I doubt that any of it is real. I think he needs better PR management.

It did cross my mind whether he is autistic too, not because of any individual bit of it but something about the bluntness of some of it.

He was interviewed in the Times magazine ages ago, after he had just got married again and the interviewer said that his pr person was there and tearing their hair out with what he was saying/how unguarded he was.

I think he'd had quite a challenging childhood. He said about adoring women, his mum and Google tells me this is his 4th marriage so perhaps quite emotionally immature.

GiftedDog · 06/02/2024 17:44

That was so petty regarding the extra G. It's not like he called him a completely different name or something offensive, its a very easy typo.

Have you seen how he holds a spoon?
Like a massive toddler

AhBiscuits · 06/02/2024 17:48

Gregg Wallace looks like a boiled egg and also has the charm, charisma and sex appeal of a boiled egg. The fact that he found 4 women prepared to marry him is one of life's great mysteries.

Did any of you catch Tom Hollander speaking last week?
'I went to see a friend in a play and I was feeling smug as I'd been paid £300 for something and here he was acting for pennies. Later I opened a letter with a cheque in it for more money than I'd ever seen. Unfortunately, it was for Tom Holland, not me. It was part payment - PART PAYMENT- of some of his royalties from Spiderman'.
I like Tom Hollander, he's very self deprecating.

GiftedDog · 06/02/2024 17:54

Jesus newborn at 56? Do not envy Tom H but like Gregg, you get with a much younger woman 🤷‍♀️

Chewbecca · 06/02/2024 18:43

Please let the BBC offer Mel Sykes the presenting job on any, or all, of Gregg's shows. In his place I mean. I would MUCH prefer to watch Mel.

eggbot · 06/02/2024 18:46

He cooks dinner ONCE A WEEK?!
The whole article is a cringe advert
