Gregg Wallace has been promoting a range of non-stick ceramic pans on TikTok following his dismissal from MasterChef over allegations of misconduct. The former BBC presenter, 61, has turned to the platform to flog kitchenware, prompting mixed reactions from followers. One user wrote, 'Greg's sold out for a fri**in pan,' while another defended him, saying, 'I really don't get all this negativity.'
Wallace is also sharing videos about health coaching and making paid Cameo appearances. According to reports, he and his wife Anne-Marie Sterpini are planning to relocate to Italy with their four-year-old autistic son Sid. Wallace has previously expressed a desire to retire there, calling the country 'one fantastic restaurant.'
The move comes as Wallace pursues legal action against the BBC. He is suing for up to £10,000 in damages, claiming the broadcaster failed to provide unredacted copies of his personal data after his sacking in July. Wallace alleges a 'terrible injustice' and says his lawyers believe the investigation cleared him of serious misconduct but left him unfairly punished.
Wallace was axed alongside co-host John Torode after a report upheld over 40 allegations against Wallace, including unwelcome physical contact and being in a state of undress. Torode was also removed following an upheld allegation of using a racist term. Wallace has since linked his behaviour to his autism diagnosis, diagnosed last year, saying the high-energy studio environment led to him 'tripping up' and saying inappropriate things.
