He just gurns

AND SHOUTS. Even though the person he is talking to is right next to him 🙄.

WiddlinDiddlin · 28/11/2024 18:10

Ugh. We refer to him as the Fat Greengrocer or the Grubby Grocer... as in 'oh well the Fat Greengrocer won't eat it, must be bloody toxic then!'...

You see a lot of him getting side eye and dirty looks on Inside the Factory, I think there was one in a shoe factory and the lass he was talking to gave him a proper 'oh for fucks sake' look that was a clear editing choice to leave in the footage... made me howl!

Jumpingoffthefence · 28/11/2024 18:12

He’s not on it now…

the80sweregreat · 28/11/2024 18:14

He was obviously one of those men who thought that ' banter ' and nudge nudge wink wink jokes would be tolerated
Sounds as if it was for a while, but unfortunately people didn't speak up at the time and he just got away with more and more. Probably loads more still working at the bbc too

Sir Rod Stewart's x statement tonight was funny !
Karma indeed, but it took ages to get him

I can't see that 🤔

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 28/11/2024 18:16

@RedToothBrush he does seem to have made being bald and integral part of his personality. Having said that he did put a post on social media the other day to prove he did have hair once.upon a time.

Don't forget that when he left his first wife and went back to collect his stuff, the first thing he took was his enormous pile of porn which was so big it filled the whole garage.
He's a turd. An clearly a massive wanker 🤮

the80sweregreat · 28/11/2024 18:16

Rods statement was mentioned on the bbc news ;

Noshowlomo · 28/11/2024 18:17

Well well I thought he was a professional chef! And didn’t know anything else about him!!

Every day is a school day.

Mastertwat 😂😂

I came on here to mention Rod Stewart’s instagram post. No love lost there!

This!

I'm not a fan really, though I do watch Masterchef but fucking hell, I can't really get upset about someone who tells some 'sexualised' jokes or talks about their sex life because I'm not that easily offended. Seriously, who is?! Life in 2024 is off the scale ridiculous. Nobody is happy unless they are offended or triggered about something.

Tell me you've never had sexual harassment training without telling me you've never had sexual harassment training...

Have I missed something? Why does everyone hate Gregg ?

Firey40 · 28/11/2024 18:22

I met him once for about 2 minutes. He was doing a promotional thing for British potatoes, cooking them on the south bank in a sort of pop-up restaurant thing.

In that brief exchange, he managed to say a lewd joke that was really borderline.

I was only 22 (this is 18 years ago!) but thought, wow, what a weird, inappropriate bloke! Creep!

So none of this is surprising for me!

What is most disappointing is that yet AGAIN we have a male celebrity behaving badly and they’re kept employed for years and years, and no doubt paid handsomely…

FFS BBC, sort it out!!!

He's been outed as making inappropriate sexual comments to women working with him. Turned up at the Masterchef studio wearing nothing but a sock (I'll let you guess where) and is just generally a misogynistic twat.

CeaselesslyIntoThePast · 28/11/2024 18:21

Because he's a leering, shouty lecherous bloke who makes an obvious beeline for any female on the shows he presents?

the80sweregreat · 28/11/2024 18:25

Many years ago many offices had men like this , ' rating ' women's boobs , marks out of ten , if they would sleep with them and on and on ( amongst other things that were even worse )
None of it is new, but you'd think he would have learnt that it wasn't going down well and just stopped it all a long time ago especially as he is quite high profile and on the tv and all sorts. Obviously not that bright

CandiedPrincess · 28/11/2024 18:26

@NigelHarmansNewWife Actually I have. But I don't see a lewd joke as sexual harassment because it's not. Shit, I'd have been in trouble years ago.

Livinginaclock · 28/11/2024 18:27

He's a disgusting letchy bloke, no surprises there.

I would add to that - and he judges people’s cooking when he isn’t a chef and doesn’t l know about food.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 28/11/2024 18:27

IIRC so far this year it's been Huw Edwards, Jermaine Jenas and now Gregg so I'm just wondering whose next. And I expect there are some rather anxious BBC presenters thinking the same thing...

That you Greggggggggg?

the80sweregreat · 28/11/2024 18:28

Walking around a studio where food is being prepared with nothing on is just gross :(
He should have been sacked then and there
Even the resident' letches 'in my old office wouldn't have gone that far 🤮

Context is all. It certainly can be.
