And now it has been revealed that he referred to women as "sexy" on social media over 100 times.
Not only this, but he called a former MasterChef winner and a BBC presenter a "sexy b***h" - with the post yet to be removed.
The TV host claims he was cleared of all the serious allegations, but was fired from MasterChef after a sexual misconduct probe.
The BBC have now received 50 new allegations with 11 women accusing him of inappropriate behaviour such as groping and touching.
There are dozens of occurrences on social media where Gregg posted sexualised comments on line.
He called 2012 MasterChef winner Shelina Permalloo a "sexy b***h' and "sexy girl'.
In one exchange, he said: "hello mate, how you doing ? Sexy b***h !"
He also called former BBC Breakfast presenter Penny Haslam, whom he knows from them both being ambassadors for WeightWatchers, a "sexy b***h".
In total, on his X page, Gregg calls people - men and women - "sexy' over 135 times.
This includes MasterChef finalist Angela Langford, MasterChef judge Monica Galetti, and interior designer Kelly Hoppen.

As well as This Morning 's Alison Hammond, Bake Off's Paul Hollywood and former Page 3 model Linda Lusardi, whom he also called a "sexy girl".
John Torode is constantly called 'sexy' - and his wife Lisa Faulkner"hot point' and 'pretty".
Gregg has always claimed that his behaviour isn't harassment, yet ex-Celebrity MasterChef contestant Aasmah Mir publicly called him out for saying "sexy b***h' to her face.
She said in a Tweet last year: "In 2017, I took part in Celebrity MasterChef.
"I put my first dish down in front of the judges and the cameras paused to reset.
"In front of everyone, Gregg Wallace told me to tell a colleague at the BBC 'that she was a sexy b***h.'
"No-one said anything. And yes, I did complain."
With Gregg's sacking from the BBC revealed this week, he released a statement online.
He wrote: "After 21 years of loyal service to the BBC, I cannot sit in silence while my reputation is further damaged to protect others.
"I have now been cleared by the Silkins report of the most serious and sensational accusations made against me.
"I recognise that some of my humour and language, at times, was inappropriate.
"For that, I apologise without reservation."
He claims that the stress led to him being taken to hospital in Ashford, Kent, with a suspected heart attack after two days of agonising chest pains.

Teen who wanted to carry out 'Doomsday' mass shooting at school to be sentenced
An Edinburgh teenager who wanted to carry out a mass shooting at his own school is to be sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow. Felix Winter, now aged 18, repeatedly spoke about carrying out an attack at his secondary, referring to the day he would 'clear it out' as 'Doomsday'. Jurors previously heard the teenager 'idolised' the killers behind the Columbine High School massacre in Colorado in the United States in 1999, which saw 12 students and a teacher gunned down. A major police investigation began in the summer of 2023 after a photo circulated on social media showing Winter at school in full combat gear, carrying an imitation gun, which caused panic among pupils and parents. He had already been referred to a UK-wide anti-terrorism programme aimed at preventing radicalisation. He also held racist and pro-Nazi views. Winter pleaded guilty to a breach of the peace and a charge under the Terrorism Act. His offending took place between June 2022 and July 2023. Defence KC Shelach McCall told the court in March that a professor who assessed her client found a 'serious link' between his autism and his behaviour, arguing it was his condition – rather than extremism – that drove his obsession with school shootings. Ms McCall said Winter had made a 'marked improvement' since his offending. She said: 'He has expressed regret and recognises that he didn't previously appreciate how his behaviour was impacting on others. 'He accepts in the context of his plea of guilty and his remarks about school shootings in 2022, him dressing in that costume and carrying that in a school would generate alarm to those who came upon it but this was not his intent.' Winter will appear at the High Court in Glasgow on Wednesday, July 30.

How does the BBC's new gameshow Destination X work and what do you win?
Rob Brydon is set to front a brand new BBC gameshow, Destination X, which sees 13 strangers travel around Europe - but how does the show work and what can you win? Rob Brydon is launching an exciting new BBC gameshow that turns Europe into a giant board game. Destination X sees 13 strangers compete to be crowned champion, as they set off on the journey of a lifetime. The ten-part series, which debuts on the BBC on Wednesday, July 30, combines The Traitors with Race Across The World. Contestants are whisked around the continent with no clue of their location or destination as they attempt to uncover the truth amongst the hints, deception, and falsehoods they encounter. "It's the adventure of a lifetime, with one simple question at its heart: where in the world am I? Rob Brydon masterminds the high-stakes competition where nothing is as it seems...," the synopsis reveals. Discussing the magnitude of the big-budget programme, which was filmed over 32 days and required 190 crew members to use 7,000 hotel rooms across 30 hotels as they journeyed 11,000 km through Europe with more than 40 vehicles, Rob said it was unlike anything he'd experienced previously, reports Wales Online. He revealed: "I love the thought of the scale of it, because I've never done anything in television with that scale. We go all over Europe to some fantastic places, so the appeal was working on a show of that scale." "We had the chance to turn Europe into a board game, so we immediately thought that the way we bring scale to the challenges is we just get incredible locations and we take over whole castles, we run a train on a public network, we take over cable car systems, the scale just goes up and up and it's like, actually, what fun can we have with those toys?" executive producer Dan Adamson added. How does Destination X work? Destination X takes 13 strangers and puts them in a totally unknown location. Their senses are jumbled, and they're deprived of access to the outside world while being transported on a coach. Deprived of any access to reality, including how far they've travelled and what country they're in, the contestants are travelling through Europe, reaching stops where they're given a series of clues and red herrings to see if they can correctly guess where they are. Some of those stops involve the players being able to explore an unknown location somewhere, looking for clues, whilst others restrict them to just peeks through a small window, with the hints set up by producers. At the end of each day, they individually put an 'X' on a map to indicate their guess, with the one furthest away from where they are being eliminated. The last person remaining, the one who is closest in guessing their location, wins a prize. What do you win? The players are battling it out to win £100,000, with one making it to the end after 10 episodes and being the closest to guessing their location. Included in the line-up for the show's first season are a pilot, a taxi driver, an endurance athlete, a crime writer, a retired detective sergeant and a content creator. Talking about his role in the game, Rob added: "I wanted to dissolve the tension and I always wanted to encourage them, it's £100,000 and this would be a lovely thing for someone to win." Destination X will air on BBC One and iPlayer, beginning on Wednesday, July 30 at 9pm, with two episodes dropping each week.
