Gregg Wallace has announced a new career venture selling frozen ready meals, following his departure from MasterChef amid an ongoing BBC investigation. The former presenter, 60, stepped back from the programme after multiple complaints of inappropriate behaviour were made against him.
More than 13 people across a range of shows over a 17-year period have made allegations, including inappropriate sexual jokes, lewd comments, and groping. Wallace and his lawyers have fiercely denied the allegations, stating that it is 'entirely false' that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature.
In a video promoting his new range, Wallace said: 'Gregg Wallace frozen meals are available for you.' The meals are priced at £8 each, with 12 options such as Bang Bang Chicken Noodles and Moroccan Chermoula. Customers can buy packs of five or eight, reducing the cost to £7.50 per meal.
The move comes as part of his health and lifestyle brand, GreggWallace.Health, which he founded after losing five stone. The brand has also reduced the price of its annual subscription from £89.99 to £49.99 during the investigation.
Wallace's daughter Libby has taken over the GreggWallace.Health Instagram page, sharing her own weight-loss journey. She said she has decided to follow her father's plan completely, adding that she is getting married next year and wants to feel confident. She acknowledged that life had got in the way but said she was committed to the plan.
Wallace has not posted on his personal Instagram since November, when he apologised for remarks about 'middle-class women of a certain age' following allegations. He said he was not in a good head space, felt under siege, and needed time out while the investigation is underway.
