I find him patronising lame and annoying. the BBC seem to pick him for alot of stuff I want to watch and do watch but he really spoils it. Just stop with the shit jokes and utter amazement at basic things.

YANBU he is a knob. Didn't he get into a fight with a member of the public after drinking too much in some restaurant. Horrible man.

When is cake not a pudding? What a bellend.

My favourite description of Mr Wallace: "Licking his lips like a self-cleaning ping pong ball".

Oh, tonight's patronising 'Sorry, love' - 'love' yourself, you great snooker ball-headed man-baby!

OTheHugeManatee · 06/04/2015 21:45

It's the teeth that get me. And the way he looms at people, like if they don't say the right thing he's going to bite them on the face.

Not at all, you are most reasonable. I can't bare him. He;s a bloody greencrocer, not a Masterchef.

TheSpottedZebra · 06/04/2015 21:53

He has the most sinister smile since the Queen Mother.

MESSING2 · 06/04/2015 21:54

without even needing to read your post, YANBU

Floppypotato · 06/04/2015 21:57

YANBU. DH and I had similar convo yday. Patronising. Creepy. Eurgh

stareatthetvscreen · 06/04/2015 21:58

noooooo - he is comedy gold

IvyWall · 06/04/2015 21:59

I hate him too.

Has he got worse? Because I don't recall him being so awful in days of yore, but I can't stand him these days

Ledkr · 06/04/2015 22:02

Dh hates him and calls him zippy

I would quite like him Blush

dougierose · 06/04/2015 22:08

The best bit about him is the song:

"Base base base
Buttery biscuit base
Base
Biscuit base
Buttery base
Buttery biscuit base"

Biscuit

YANBU I almost had to stop watching strictly when he was on it, he irritated so much. He tried too hard to be funny and to be liked, plus the stupid grinning face and constant unfunny jokes. Won't watch anything with him in it.

Between · 06/04/2015 22:10

I don't mind him. He doesn't annoy me but I can see he is a bit of a pillock. Iyswim

treaclesoda · 06/04/2015 22:11

It's weird. I find him and Torode massively aggravating yet I love Masterchef! Grin

I love the Horrible Histories version of him too.

lilacunicorn · 06/04/2015 22:14

YANBU
He has a smug mug I would never tire of slapping.
Who put a jumped up green grocer in charge of critiquing food gahhh!!!
He's so critical & negative I can't bear to watch Masterchef and the way he fawned over Aliona was stomach-churning.

And no I totally have not given your question much thought Blush

Instituteofstudies · 06/04/2015 22:14

The only reason you can GW apart from this ,is that GW isn't blue. Otherwise the resemblance (even to frequent invasion of body space), is quite startling.

emotionsecho · 06/04/2015 22:15

The marvellous Siddiqui family on Gogglebox described him very well - he clearly fancied one of the contestants on Masterchef - you know when Gregg Wallace fancies you his head shines and glows like a belisha beaconGrin.

FarFromAnyRoad · 06/04/2015 22:17

I'm sure he didn't used to be such a prize-winning 1st in show grade A twat - but I'm also sure he didn't used to be such a try-hard diamond geezer either. Anyway he's a moose and an ungracious one at that.

MamainMilan · 06/04/2015 22:19

I have met him, and JT a few times as part of my work. I'd just like to state that John Torrode is a nice chap, intelligent, with good social skills.

DuchessDisaster · 06/04/2015 22:20

and I am sure everyone has picked up that he has a "thing" for Laura...
