@Calliopespa it comes from his Alan partridgesque description of his Saturday in the telegraph which describes how he fucks off to the gym and for breakfast all morning leaving his son's care to his wife. He tolerates him for 90 minutes then retreats to video game and retires early to bed, doing the minimum he can get away with.

@Eraserbread that is absolutely hilarious! Do you think mallet actually wrote that? Surely it must be some witty journalist?
A guy I know in the industry claims he knows for a fact the Wallace one was made up. But surely then the great man himself would get up in arms and sue the paper? It's all funny as fuck either way. 🤣🤣🤣

Why wouldnt he be?

I stopped watching a long time ago, when John Torode was kind of a shit to his ex-wife.

Greg was always a twat though

Come on now give him his full title - it's Mastertwat remember

I have no idea on either count, but I can totally see the Gregg Wallace one being 100 percent him! he's always come across as a total misogynist.

Horrible man. I'm still getting over his 'typical Saturday'

That was the pinnacle of awfulness

Well none of that’s actually funny either. It’s sad.

Stepping away now as I’m clearly not cut out for finding such fun in vitriol and unfortunate issues.

Ihopeyouhavent · 28/11/2024 13:00

Just wow. Is there an equivalent woman on TV that gets such hate on here, vitriol and personal comments about their appearance?!

No, it's pretty disgusting, but the fact he allowed it to be published thinking it would be in any way good for his image, is pretty funny!

You should hear what he says to and about the women he works alongside!

OnTheBounce · 28/11/2024 13:01

I would completely enjoy Inside the Factory if Gregg's voice could be dubbed by someone more soothing like Mark Rylance or Nigel Slater, so you'd get all the fun of the machines and the individual wrapping arms and the big stirring whisks, but without the frenetic 'SO SONJA YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF CHOCOLATE FINGERING HAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAA' and more '... and now one tonne of milk chocolate is being poured into the mixture.'

I've, unfortunately, just been reminded of the Popbitch piece where Gregg was asked what (I think) he thought a plate of food reminded him of and he replied " My aunt's cunt." Horrible man.

Ihopeyouhavent · 28/11/2024 13:03

And whats wrong with his saturday/sunday routine?

BobbyBiscuits · 28/11/2024 13:03

@Eraserbread yeah, it's totally believable isn't it. The way he talked about his disabled son. What a tosser!!

LilyJessie · 28/11/2024 13:03

He has always given me the creeps

how do you know that his aunt wasnt a cunt?

Oh, so it's fine for him to call women all kinds of names (often related to their appearance) and to make disgusting sexual comments to them, but women laughing at his appearance (which I haven't done) are the worst?

Eraserbread · 28/11/2024 13:04

Ihopeyouhavent · 28/11/2024 13:04

He was implying it looked like his aunt's vagina, not that she was a cunt.

Deathraystare · 28/11/2024 13:05

I am surprised his co-workers aren't fitted with noise cancelling head phones. One man that seriously does not need a megaphone for Christmas...

coffeemonsterrrr · 28/11/2024 13:13

I actually like Marcus. He's twinkly, and gives off sexy Gandalf vibes. Grin

OVienna · 28/11/2024 13:20

I absolutely hate this show and it's on every night of the week, year after year.

Should have "Best before 2006" running across the bottom of the screen.

SofandaCox · 28/11/2024 13:21

Masterchef Australia is so much better.

Poggishairtufts · 28/11/2024 13:22

This was what I was referring to, people have twisted my words, I find it really sad that he doesn't seem to be much of a 'family man'.

Really hope the investigations are fair and if he's found to have done wrong that he's punished appropriately, again I'm thinking of the victims who have not been listened to until now.

I turn off shows he's in, I don't need things explained to me like I'm 3 and he comes across as very rude. Hope I'm allowed to have those opinions without being chastised!
