I'm quite prepared to be told I'm being totally unreasonable.........

Omg I thought it was just me! He makes me feel bilious! His sex face when he wangs on about desserts is just 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

and don’t get me started on that ‘how to feed your family for less’ or whatever other nonsense that programme is called.

It should be named ‘how to eat from somewhere other than Marks or Waitrose’ or ‘How to use you brain when shopping and planning meals. The dumb prick edition’

Not a fan.

The other one makes me feel nauseous also.

surely he cant be so wrong if he has done the program for so long.they would have gotten rid of him no?
BestestBrownies which series,who are you!i want to see you cook haha

Teddy1970 · 27/02/2019 21:54

I can't stand the man! He gives off this vibe which makes my skin crawl, and not to mention his shouty voice...ugh.

The80sweregreat · 27/02/2019 21:55

I do love a hate thread!

Hazlenutpie · 27/02/2019 21:57

I don’t get the hatred, I don’t mind him.

kateandme · 27/02/2019 21:59

I don't understand it when people say he doesn't know food though?who does? he has been around the buying and cooking of food for a very long time.he supplid some of the best restuarents their green grocerys and was paid and then asked to eat at them so got to taste and know what good food tastes like.

HowlsMovingBungalow · 27/02/2019 22:00

I also think Torode is a bit of a greasy toadlike prick - sorry fans of his.

The80sweregreat · 27/02/2019 22:00

These ' nanny state' programmes are awful. If folk want to spend 500 a week on food / takeaways just let them.
Half of them only go on it so they can say they have been on the tele I bet.
Or fake stand ins.

BestestBrownies · 27/02/2019 22:03

@kateandme that would be far too outing Wink I made a ginger ice cream before flavours like that we're commonplace.

Bloody hell! I just checked and it was 2004!!! That's 15 years ago. I thought it was about 10, lol!

JaneJeffer · 27/02/2019 22:06

I saw him cooking something on that money programme and it looked lovely.

TougheningUp · 27/02/2019 22:06

A friend of mine worked on a TV series with the Gregg, and said that he was not at all pleasant to be with. Sexist remarks, dismissive of all the other people who worked on the show, who didn't have the presenting job... not a nice person at all. I can't bear to watch him now.

The80sweregreat · 27/02/2019 22:11

It's sad his so horrible really.

Lovingbenidorm · 27/02/2019 22:12

I have my fair share of celebrity dislikes and I’m ok when someone is referred to as an example but I really hate it when a whole thread is about slagging someone off.
If you don’t like him, don’t watch him

HowlsMovingBungalow · 27/02/2019 22:13

Don't like the thread then don't read it.

Lovingbenidorm · 27/02/2019 23:36

Point taken Hows

BabyDarlingDollfaceHoney · 28/02/2019 00:37

@BestestBrownie fascinating insight! Feel quite vindicated as well that all my instincts about him were spot on!

YY to the poster that said buttery biscuit base! Please anyone that hasn't seen the video please google "Gregg Wallace buttery biscuit base". It'll be in your head for days.

RedSippyCup · 28/02/2019 08:07

I'm so glad a few others have said what a wanker he is. I worked at one of the factories he's been to.

He spent the whole time making awful sexist jokes that would have got anyone that worked there sacked. He was awful to the line workers that had to interact with him.

Even with the heavy editing it's obvious one of the workers is struggling to stay civil with him.

Complete and utter wanker.

He's the reason I can't bring myself to watch masterchef.

crispysausagerolls · 28/02/2019 08:19

He asked me out once and he makes my skin crawl

fblake · 28/02/2019 15:57

@crispysausagerolls 😱

fblake · 28/02/2019 15:58

@crispysausagerolls what was your answer?

Fiveredbricks · 28/02/2019 15:59

He was a bloody fruit and veg stall holder. How the hell he got on TV being a food critic is beyond me. He makes my skin crawl Envy boak.

Sarcelle · 28/02/2019 16:20

Renember Strictly? He said something arrogantly like my partner has no fear about me having an affair with one of the hot dancers because he loved his partner. He wouldn't have an affair because they would think he was a greasy butterball, not because he wasn't interested. The conceit! And his big ego must have taken a dramatic dive when he was first celeb voted off. Wore tight trousers I seem to recall, with no pants he said. Double boak!

That twitter put down about the two Gs in his name was highly indicative of his nature!

ClaraLane · 28/02/2019 16:21

In our house he’s referred as “that bald greengrocer twat”

Sarcelle · 28/02/2019 16:21

Found it.
