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.

Gregg Wallace: Why I’d choose a Harvester over a three-star Michelin restaurant

And then he eats sausage, bacon & eggs? What’s the point of that?

Show quote history

But don't judge cos they sell grilled chicken y'know... which he doesn't eat. He comes across as such a knob.

newnamethanks · 06/02/2024 22:26

I've been watching old Masterchefs on Prime. Has he always been this annoying? YES. How has his career survived and multiplied? It's an utter mystery.

It's the article that keeps on giving. I've read it a few times now and every time I find something new to laugh at him about. What a twat.

I laughed at "I make my own healthy cheeseburgers."

Also, is his calling his wife by the wrong name ? Anna isn't exactly a nickname for Anne-Marie ?

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?

But he's not a chef. He has no culinary qualifications!

Victoria3010 · 06/02/2024 22:57

Poor Helen (I'm going to call her Lynne), surely a plus of being GWs pa is that you get to go out for nice food.... wait, its Saturday morning and you're in the harvester watching him use his sausage as a breakwater. I bet the gym staff hate him as well.
The child he'd only have on the condition his mother in law did all the housework for him...
The once a week cooking despite being a food expert...
The six pack covered by a bloaty belly (it's not a six pack then is it Gregg)

There's just so much to unpack that makes him a massive tw*t. Every sentence.

He's not and never has been a chef. He's a shouty short arsed cunt. And a greengrocer. We hate the sight and sound of him in our house.

Merrymouse · 06/02/2024 23:26

I don’t know much about him, but saw it on Twitter and skim read it. I couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about because if you read it quickly it’s easy to miss the sentences where he mentions his wife and family…

Prizefighter · 06/02/2024 23:27

Has anyone seen if he has followed this up?

Snippit · 06/02/2024 23:29

Can’t stand the bald idiot. He once made some really nasty comments about his previous wives, if you ask me there we’ll shot of him. He’s vile with disgusting teeth.

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.

Are you confusing Tom Holland with Tom Holland er?

I think Greg with 2 G's has just taken the crown from Richard Madeley as being more Alan Partridge than Steve Coogan.

newnamethanks · 07/02/2024 08:32

No I'm not confused johnworf but you are.

YeahBrackie · 07/02/2024 08:39

Hate the man after he called out someone on twitter asking to help tweet someone with cancer. His only reply was an arsy one about how they spelt his name wrong.
He loves himself. Those gym photos 🤢
Admitted to sleeping with a prostitute 🤢

NoCloudsAllowed · 07/02/2024 08:42

Why would you have beer then wine then whisky? Especially in front of an Italian

Why would you have a child with SEN and leave it to the grandmother to do the hard work

Why why why

Also if anyone knows where I can get a wifey to do all the childcare, make me lunch and keep things quiet while I play computer games, let me know

ShirleyPhallus · 07/02/2024 08:44

He’s deleted all the negative comments about it from his Instagram 🤣🤣🤣

newnamethanks · 07/02/2024 08:50

He definitely shares a level of self-awareness with Liz Truss. Very odd mindset, the pair of them.

I find GregG Wallace all about the whys and hows.

Why is his name spelled with two Gs? How can it possibly be that his middle name is, indeed Alan? 🤣 or maybe it’s Allan? Wouldn’t want to get told off for a missing L.

How on earth he’s convinced four women to marry him and two to continue his genes. How on earth he got and continues to enjoy a TV and media career.

I find him charmless and physically unappealing. That’s putting it mildly. He insists on parading his six pack, that he obviously works hard for and takes great pride in, but I usually laugh and imagine it’s one of those spray tan ones. He seems the type.

I mean, well done to him in changing his physique. Amazing what you can achieve when you're hiding from your responsibilities in the gym.

Isn't it just?!

Dear god, could have spared us the photo though!

Oh, that Guardian article is gold! How can anyone have so little self-awareness? I love Masterchef in all its guises, but Gregg Wallace is the Lego I have to walk on to watch it. He is such an utter tit. I love the side-eyes he gets from John, Marcus and Monica and, like everyone else, cannot understand how he’s still on to so much. Or at all really.

i cannot fathom how he’s managed to get four women into matrimony, given that he’s never hidden what a plank he is, and find it hard to understand why the current Mrs W can even bear to look at him, given what he’s said in print about their child. Awful man.

HippyCritical · 07/02/2024 13:09

He has no culinary qualifications!

But he knows what a cabbage is 🍆

The gym have to open early for him because when he went in normal hours all the other users threatened to cancel their memberships if they had to breathe the same air as the shouty one. They charge extra for early opening. It's a win win for the gym.

I heard once that he's on so many programmes because he owns the production company, or something along those lines.

He looks like a freshly wanked cock.

NB I didn't coin this phrase, but the chances to use it are so few and far between I'm happy to nick it. And this is a wonderful chance.

Just a thought, could it be, actually, a joke? Like that programme he did about meat?

He strikes me as the kind of man who would joke about absolutely anything except himself, being a subject that he takes Very Seriously.
