Gregg Wallace has stepped into a new role as a personal trainer while awaiting the outcome of an investigation into allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
The former MasterChef star, 60, launched his own health and wellness platform three years ago, following a widely publicised personal transformation that saw him lose a significant amount of weight.
And now Wallace revealed that he is now offering personal training to clients as he keeps busy away from television.
He shared on his Instagram Story on Thursday: “I'll be in the gym at 6 o'clock.
“I've got three clients today that I'm coaching to better health. Don't go anything big and radical, you won't be able to keep it up.”
Last month, he also posted a series of videos on his social channels, including TikTok, X and Instagram, promoting another new venture, Gregg Wallace Health.
His videos include recipes, such as a “healthy burger” made with a tortilla wrap, and cooking tutorials, in which Wallace teaches viewers cooking skills, like how to dice an onion.
According to his website, Gregg Wallace Health is “not a diet” but will help individuals to “lose weight and keep it off.”
The Gregg Wallace Health programme offers paid subscriptions, with customers able to pay £11.99 per month, £49.99 for six months or £89.99 for a year to get full access to the GreggWallace Health tools. These tools include recipes, health specialist advice and a “vibrant community.”
In one video promoting the site, Wallace tells his followers: “I wanted to tell you something that I’m pleased about and it’s free, it’s got loads of good recipes you can look at, it’s got blogs and even a little quiz.”
The broadcaster, who presented MasterChef for nearly 20 years between 2005 and 2024, left the show in November last year after a series of allegations emerged against him.
A BBC News investigation discovered allegations of inappropriate sexual comments by 13 people who had worked with Wallace across a range of shows, over 17 years.
His lawyers previously told the BBC “it is entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature”.
While the BBC said prior the corporation will not “tolerate behaviour that falls below the standards we expect” and will continue to champion “a culture that is kind, inclusive and respectful”.
Two MasterChef celebrity Christmas specials were pulled from the BBC’s schedule in December 2024.
Banijay UK, who produce the series, previously said it continues to regularly update and strengthen its “MasterChef welfare processes”.
Food critic Grace Dent will judge the forthcoming 20th series of Celebrity MasterChef alongside Wallace’s long-standing presenting partner John Torode.
