My goodness this man is pure Partridge.

I'm sure they tell you they open the gym early for you ...

Also, spends all morning swanning around away from family, expects lunch ready on table at 12pm then at 1.30 "I like to spend time with my four year old son..", but not that much time as at 3pm he locks himself away for "total war saga". AIBU to ask if this would be tolerated by any other normal family ?!

It reminded me of the Orlando Bloom one. You know, where he had to lift weights in order to feel "really exhausted" by the end of the day despite having a baby. And then making sure he gets 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Twat.

Omg this is unreal

SeatonCarew · 10/02/2024 06:41

Gregg Wallace reminds me of Mr Toad.

Poop! poop!

Edited to add his extra G.

LlynTegid · 10/02/2024 06:59

Please vote with your feet as it were and don't watch any show he is on.

Wowsers, he sounds like such a bore!

newnamethanks · 10/02/2024 07:13

@LlynTegid oh, if only that were possible! He's everywhere on tv. How? Why? That's part of why he's so massively annoying.

10ThousandSpoons · 10/02/2024 07:17

Did he not think "I'm writing this day down for the paper so I'll make sure I don't sound like the twat I am"

posiepawprint · 10/02/2024 07:25

He has a full
Fry up at 10:30 and lunch at 12

posiepawprint · 10/02/2024 07:29

I shall always remember Janet Street Porter on Masterchef repeatedly referring to him as the talking turnip

Not defending him here - but he probably didn't write anything down, it was likely a meandering conversation via an conversation with a journalist which had since been written into this article without him reviewing it

I'd find it unlikely even Gregg Wallace would have had such little self awareness to have authored it in this way

As a previous poster suggested, reads more like a deliberate attempt by the author to make him come across as badly as possible, though does sound like he gave quite a few questionable statements or at a minimum fell into a few traps

Deborah54 · 10/02/2024 07:54

Can’t stand the man. He ruins every programme I enjoy.
Masterchef, just repeats every comment made by professional judges.
In the factory, giggles like a 4 yr old and asks the most ridiculous questions. You can see the look of horror ( don’t put that twat with me) on the factory employees.

TaxiVan · 10/02/2024 07:54

He’s a tit, but 90 minutes a day with his son, whilst sounding timetabled, is more than many men spend with their children.
Sad that he’ll prioritise more time to video games, but in terms of minutes spent with children I wonder how other men would fair.

BonnyBo · 10/02/2024 07:56

This seems very on brand

I agree!

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 10/02/2024 08:01

A d also he's the older generation where I think men were out earning the bread and wife at home so he probably thinks 90 mins is a lot. And as pp says, it probably is compared to many. Sad as it is.

Not my hubby though. He's been up since 5am with a screaming baby and a 4yr old. So I should probably get up to help him now 🤣

soupfiend · 10/02/2024 08:03

What older generation, I think he's younger than me?

He's such an oaf, cant stand him and all his shouting on that blood factory programme 'WHAT YOU MEAN YOU PUT THE EGGS IN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

Ah I see that makes more sense.

Yes i get a bit annoyed by his over reaction on those programs. It's like he hasn't seen a factory before. SO THEY ALL GET BOXED UP AND PUT ON A LORRY?? WOW!

No, because he is so self absorbed he doesn't realise.

Willmafrockfit · 10/02/2024 08:12

read the article now thanks to it being on the BBC home page
allowing him to the gym early? fgs

MyLadyTheKingsMother · 10/02/2024 08:17

He is such a damp sponge and I do mot understand why he is on our telly so much.

Childlike giggles, faux suprise at the simplest stuff, repetition of proffesionals comments as another poster mentioned.

Whenever he talks on masterchef one of us shouts "oh FUCK Off Greg (just the one g 😂)" at the telly.

I don’t like the Gregg Wallace that I see on tv. Obviously I don’t know him. However on tb he annoys me and I switch over.
However these ‘day in the life of…..’ articles are just a snapshot and presumably not every minute has been accounted for, it’s just a general idea of things that happen.
iI have read many articles from Gregg about his child and what they do for him, his struggles and to be fair , there does seem to be a close bond between him and Sid.

i still don’t like him though!

BobbyBiscuits · 09/02/2024 19:54

@FuckingHellAdele As in every TV producer or journalist he's ever been interviewed by/ worked with has conspired to make him look like a bell-end and it's some sort of cover up. In fact he's sparkling example of all things right with penis owners and he's an ambassador for women's rights?

No not at all, he is a monumental bell end. I meant that even his own production team on ITF seemed to openly dislike him

It's his day he needs to own it

CormorantStrikesBack · 10/02/2024 08:24

If I was a member of that gym I’d be pissed off he was getting in early and I think I’d demand the same. I wonder if he’s slipping someone some cash for this perk in which case I wonder what head office thinks? And if he isn’t slipping someone some cash then everyone else should turn up 30 mins before opening and demand to be let in! I hope they do.
