to be cringing at Gregg Wallace and his bizarre Italian accent?

My dad used to do exactly what he was doing on holiday- use a loud voice and adopt a version of the local accent in an attempt to make himself understood.

I'm cringing watching it Grin Blush

He's done it on a few of the factory programmes. I don't think he can help it! It's painful to hear! 😂

He is an utter knob. Christ knows how he got in the tellybox.

He's ruined Masterchef for me. Cannot bear to watch it any longer.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought so! When he was trying to use Italian phrases he reminded me of the interpreter in the episode of Blackadder with the Queen of Spain - "Wha-at is he li-eek in be-ed?"

He was shouting 'three anni' earlier on, ah, ah, stop it Gregg!

Whenever I watch Masterchef, I can't help thinking that if they were having a shag, Greg would be gurning with puppyish enthusiasm and John would be have to be in charge and be very critical of Greg.

I can't stand him, full stop. If he's on anything at all I have to fast forward through his bits. Just awful.

Can’t stand the open gaping mouth! Why is he famous?

This is what my family call the "talking to forrin people" voice.

My mum is horrendous for this. I used to think she wasn't aware that she did it, but it's got so bad the last few years that I can only assume she does it on purpose/genuinely thinks that she needs to do it so the poor foreigners can understand!

How they didn't chuck him in one of the pasta machines I have no idea! And surprised they aired it without some editing, he looks like a total pillock!

I want to add some hate for Gregg in this thread.

He makes me cringe. Awful man.
