Gregg Wallace cuts weight loss site prices after 'conceding' to leave MasterChef

MasterChef's Gregg Wallace has reportedly accepted he won't return to the BBC show again, and has now slashed prices on his healthy eating side hustle ahead of his potential job loss

BBC star Gregg Wallace, 60, has advertised a bumper sale on his health site amid his step down from judging MasterChef.

Alongside his TV duties, Gregg frequently used to show off his brand, GreggWallace.Health, on Instagram. The lifestyle programme was set up after Gregg’s own five stone weight loss, and offered fans the opportunity to learn from Gregg with meal plans and fitness tips.

Entering the site now, however, it seems that MasterChef judge Gregg is giving an added incentive to sign up. “Get £40 off our Annual Subscription,” a pop up advertises on the home page of the site, requesting an email address to send the offer to. “At less than £1 a week, it’s the easiest decision you’ll make for your health this year. Join us today and transform your life with GreggWallace.Health!"

Further down the home page, a photo shows Gregg with his wife, Anne-Marie Sterpini, who also used to film the healthy meals she’d put together for Gregg and their son, Sid. “GreggWallace.Health breaks down exactly how I lost 5 stone and kept it off & how I've helped countless others do the same!” he wrote alongside the smiley photo.

Gregg was placed under investigation last month due to historic complaints that he’d made “sexual comments” on set of MasterChef, with Newsnight host Kirsty Wark among several people who have accused the MasterChef presenter of making inappropriate sexual comments or jokes.

The BBC host stepped down from MasterChef a couple of weeks ago due to the investigation, but responded to the accusations with a series of posts on Instagram. In his posts, Gregg vehemently denied having taken part in any wrongdoing.

Now, though, insiders suggested that Gregg may have given up his fight against the BBC. Speaking to The Sun, a source said: "Gregg's conceded he has lost everything. To put it bluntly, he's told people, 'I'm f***ed'. He came out swinging but he has quietly conceded that he knows his time on MasterChef is over and that he will be stepping aside.

“He has contested the sexual ­allegations and insisted any jokes he made were just jokes. He said he never meant to cause any offence. Gregg has been under a huge amount of pressure since the allegations came to light and tried his best to fight his corner."

With Gregg having reportedly accepted that he won’t be returning to MasterChef any time soon, his replacement has reportedly been decided - fan-favourite food critic Grace Dent, 51.

A source claimed that her hiring would be announced soon, and added: "Grace is the perfect choice to replace Gregg on MasterChef. She’s knowledgeable about food and opinionated, plus it’s great to have a woman as a judge on the show. It will shake things up and give the series the boost it needs after such an upsetting and uncertain time."
