Gregg Wallace made £1million in 2019 after recovering from business empire fail

Gregg Wallace has finally found the recipe for success – making £1m last year.

The MasterChef judge now has plenty of dough after the collapse of his business empire in 2014.

Back then, he had to close three restaurants and his greengrocer business.

And with debts of more than £500,000, the future looked bleak.

But the telly favourite picked himself up and raked in the money from his presenting jobs, books, and media interviews and columns.

According to accounts filed at Companies House last month by his firm Lobster Enterprises Ltd, it paid more than £120,000 in tax, meaning that it turned over in excess of £1million in 2019.

A slimmed-down Gregg, 55, is eyeing more success by giving lockdown PE teacher Joe Wicks a run for his money with his own fitness empire.

Gregg – who fronts BBC show Inside The Factory – has been sharing his daily workout routines from the garden of his Kent home.

He’s launching a £7-a-month online gym, nutrition and motivation website, so that fans can transform their bodies without leaving home.

The exercises were devised with the help of his pal and personal trainer Danny Rai.

The pair will create workout videos based on a five-day regime, recipe books and even a range of clothes and drinks’ bottles so that fans can share Gregg’s weight-loss journey.

The dad of three – who is married to Anne-Marie – now weighs under 12 stone after losing an impressive four-and-a-half stone.

Sounds like the proof of the pudding is in the not eating...
