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.

Must admit I’ve laughed my head off reading it and everyone’s reaction. Haven’t took much notice of him until now but what an absolute tool he is!

hellsBells246 · 06/02/2024 18:50

He is being ROASTED on Twitter.

He cooks once a week??

And his son - poor kid.

Divorce number 5 coming up???

There is another thread running at the moment about how crass it is of mothers posting online about having a childfree night out and how that might make the child feel if they read it as an adult.
Imagine in Gregg’s son were ever to read this. Poor boy.

GiftedDog · 06/02/2024 19:22

He looks like a big constipated baby

I can’t stand the man, which is extra annoying as I really like inside the factory.

His poor son, if his wife was also aware he didn’t actually want another child, shes just as bad really for willingly having a child who will grow up knowing they weren’t wanted.

fonfusedm · 06/02/2024 19:35

His wife knew the score, she must have been desperate!

motherofkevinnotperry · 06/02/2024 19:38

He's a prick. Can't stand him. He's been married to younger women again and again. Just seems so disrespectful of them.

MeinKraft · 06/02/2024 19:41

I like the bit where he says 'I'm something of an expert myself' I hear it in Daddy Pigs voice Grin

RafaistheKingofClay · 06/02/2024 19:56

Can you be an expert in manifesting?

GellerYeller · 06/02/2024 19:57

I think the silently simmering PA wrote the whole feature as a very public resignation letter
😂
’Hi MIL I’ve finally agreed to give Anna that baby I was so set against but you’ll need to move in so I have two women at home and a PA to look after me. I know I’m a misogynistic a-hole but I’m so busy bellowing at factory workers on the telly, being an off-brand Davina McCall, and gaming so you don’t mind do you? Oh and we’ll need a baby free holiday every year. Cheers!’

GiftedDog · 06/02/2024 19:59

He has gone from green grocers to alwats on prime time tv to a team of women facilitating his life and gym staff opening up early for him manifesting must work

Appin · 06/02/2024 20:24

I read a Hello article about him and his wife, when his baby was born. I'll always remember it, he came across as such a misogynistic idiot. I think at one point he spoke about how the baby would spend overnight with his MIL, so that he could 'continue to have his needs met'. It was honestly awful, just awful.

No unhealthy takeaways, just weekly Harvester fry ups.

He's not even a chef - he was a greengrocer!

To be fair, Mary Beard didn't get where she is today without several solid hours on Julius Caesar: Ultimate Strike Force before breakfast.

I think I love you AuntiePathy.

The gym let him on half an hour early just cos he turns up early....in other words people paid a pittance ate required to start work earlier than they should to let him in, cos he's special.

Knob.

awaynboilyurheid · 06/02/2024 20:40

How he has a TV career is a total mystery,

complete weirdo

Watercolourpapier · 06/02/2024 20:46

He talks about his child with the same level of fondness as he does his dogs.

Seems like an utter prick tbh.

And he's a famous chef, why is he only cooking one meal a week?

Combattingthemoaners · 06/02/2024 20:47

I cannot stand this man. This article is the icing on the cake.

mynameiscalypso · 06/02/2024 22:13

My DH has just read bits of it to me in Daddy Pig's voice thanks to this thread. I love it.

longtompot · 06/02/2024 22:20

I suspect the Fuck Off Greggs! will be loud and numerous on this years Masterchef threads.
