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 keeps ending his marriage for someone half his age too.. Think he's about to have his 4th wedding. Also the punching in a restaurant as someone mentioned.. Classy Gregg!
I love how contestants on the professionals one aren't bothered what he thinks, even if he likes it Grin

I like the buttery biscuit base!

Happydaystoytown · 07/04/2015 00:00

YANBU at all. I hate him.

YANBU. Up there with the Clarkson twat.

He is really annoying me at he moment
He is so patronising to the female contestants
I wonder what his co presenter really thinks of him? I bet he thinks he's a bellend too

CindyEcstacy · 07/04/2015 07:51

Spoon-sucking barrow boy .

Seriously - he makes me feel sick the way he shoves his cutlery in his gob

MamainMilan, Grin

mrsruffallo · 07/04/2015 07:58

Hmm I find the 'barrow boy' and 'he is just a greengrocer' comments snobby. I am not a big fan of his but socio economic put downs always make me shudder. You might as well have posted 'he has ideas above his station'.

VeronicaCaCa · 07/04/2015 08:01

For some reason I think he was nicer before he lost all that weight. I loved him then. Now he gives me the creeps.

Runningupthathill82 · 07/04/2015 08:04

I've worked with him. I was taught not to say anything about people if I didn't have anything good to say.

........................

Yep.

CatthiefKeith · 07/04/2015 08:21

I used to rent a house from his first wife. He wasn't very nice to her that's for sure.

Roussette · 07/04/2015 08:25

Doesn't he meet all his wives/gf's on twitter? That's odd and a bit pervy in itself.

He has the most sinister smile since the Queen Mother.

Best descriptive comment on threadGrin

It's like a 21st century version of Bluebeard Shock

MERLYPUSSEDOFF · 07/04/2015 21:10

Yuk! Re the SCD. Like Mr potato head in sequins. Sorry,he just seems like a bellowing (baldy) glutton.

TedAndLola · 07/04/2015 21:13

I don't mind him because he gives me a lot of laughs watching Masterchef.

championnibbler · 07/04/2015 21:59

the thing he always does when eating from a spoon is deeply irritating.

hobNong · 07/04/2015 22:26

I don't like him. John on the other hand... [phwoarrr emoticon]

coalscuttle · 07/04/2015 22:29

Yes to comedy gold! I only watch masterchef to marvel at him being such a knob. The rest of them are just too pompous for words. Except for Monica, I like her.

takemeuptheeiffeltower · 07/04/2015 22:32

He comes across as a bit creepy/flirty around the younger female contestants on MasterChef.

MrsBigginsPieShop · 07/04/2015 23:14

I can't help but mime rolling tiny snowballs when he comes on the screen now....although admittedly I'm not leering at a female half my ages whilst I'm doing it

BollocksFreePoster · 07/04/2015 23:20

He is the classic epitome of talentless right-place, right-time 15 minutes of famery

squoosh · 07/04/2015 23:22

OP yours is the most reasonable statement I've ever read on Mumsnet.

He's a knob cheese of the highest order. Someone should be wrap him in plastic and submerge him in a sous vide bath. For a month. If he's still alive after that then throw him in vat of molten custard. The cheap day-glo yellow kind, none of your fancy crème anglaise.

In case I've been too ambiguous I would like to state that I am not a fan.

treaclesoda · 07/04/2015 23:35

My husband finds it hilarious to go 'cccoooorrrrr!' and 'luvvvvly' in a Gregg Wallace voice just for the sheer joy of seeing me recoil in horror.
