Gregg Wallace selling £8 frozen ready meals after MasterChef exit

Gregg Wallace is now selling frozen ready meals for £8 after his exit from MasterChef.

The former BBC presenter, 60, stepped back from the programme following several complaints and accusations made against him.

It was alleged he made ‘inappropriate sexual jokes’ and lewd comments on set, asked for the phone numbers of female members of production staff, and undressed in front of and standing ‘too close’ to women working on his shows.

He has also been accused of groping three people in different incidents, ‘mimicking sex acts’ and walking around the studio almost ‘completely naked’, with more than 13 people across a range of shows over a 17-year-period making complaints.

Wallace and his lawyers have fiercely denied the allegations, saying ‘it is entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature’.

Since apologising for his infamous ‘middle-class women of a certain age’ statement, Wallace has remained out of the spotlight and away from social media.

However, he has revealed a career move to do with his health and lifestyle brand, introducing a ready meal range.

Revealing his new meal plan, Wallace said in a video: ‘Gregg Wallace frozen meals are available for you.’

‘They’re hearty and super healthy,’ he went on, listing the nutritional benefits.

‘Enjoy, look after yourself,’ he concluded, in the video titled ‘Just For You’.

So far, there are 12 meals listed at £8 each, like Bang Bang Chicken Noodlesand Moroccan Chermoula.

He’s offering them in packs of five or eight, where they work out at a slightly lower price of £7.50 each.

This comes after Wallace slashed prices of an annual subscription on his wellness business, from £89.99 to £49.99, amid the MasterChef investigation.

His lifestyle brand, GreggWallace.Health, was founded after the former Inside The Factory presenter lost 5 stone.

It offers help for a healthier lifestyle with recipes and fitness advice, as well as other tools.

On his GreggWallace.Health Instagram page, Wallace’s daughter Libby has taken over and is now sharing her weight-loss journey on the page.

Earlier this month, she shared a post explaining why, after four years of working with GreggWallace.Health, she was now choosing to follow his plan.

She said: ‘I thought it was about time that I hold myself responsible and I come out and I share my journey with you.

‘I’m on my own personal weight-loss journey, I have decided to follow the GreggWallace.Health plan completely.

‘I know lots of you will be going, “Why haven’t you already done that? You’ve been running it for four years.” I know, I know, I have watched person after person achieve their dreams and smash their goals and I don’t know why to be perfectly honest with you.

‘Life got in the way and it became my priority and then not my priority.

‘I don’t like the way I look, I have some weight to lose, I’m getting married next year which is really exciting, but I want to feel nice in my dress, and I want to feel nice not just for my wedding day but for my life.

‘I’m sick of feeling uncomfortable in the clothes that I put on, I want to feel more confident in myself and I know I can do it, so I thought I’d bring you all along on this journey with me.’

She added that she’d be sharing ‘the good and the bad’, saying: ‘It’s okay to slip-up, we’re human, that’s okay, life does in the way, it’s okay to slip-up, but you need to jump back on.’

Meanwhile, Wallace hasn’t posted on his personal Instagram page since November, where he shared a response to the backlash he received after saying the allegations came from ‘middle-class women of a certain age’.

After immense backlash, including from the Prime Minister, who blasted the comments as ‘misogynistic’, Wallace – who has been replaced on the next series of Celebrity MasterChef by Grace Dent – apologised, and said: ‘I want to apologise for any offence that I caused with my post yesterday and any upset I may have caused to a lot of people. I wasn’t in a good head space when I posted it.

‘I’ve been under a huge amount of stress, a lot of emotion, I felt very alone, under siege when I posted it.

‘It’s obvious to me I need to take some time out now while this investigation is underway.

‘I hope you understand and I do hope that you will accept this apology.’
