Gregg Wallace becomes TikTok chef to promote his new £90 subscription service
Gregg Wallace is carving out a new niche for himself following his departure from the BBC, and it turns out it involves a lot of TikToks. The 60-year-old 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. In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, he told the paper that the allegations are 'not all true', and said he had felt 'under attack' since his exit, and had contemplated suicide. But the presenter appears to be bouncing back — and using social media to help his cause. Wallace has posted a series of videos on his social channels, including TikTok, X and Instagram, promoting his new venture Gregg Wallace Health. These 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.' Wallace has a large following, with 165,000 TikTok followers, 217,000 Instagram followers and 203,000 followers on X. His TikTok videos have over 980,000 likes, and one recent video tutorial teaching followers how to make a frittata has 203,000 views. Wallace's 'healthy burger' recipe also has 350,000 views. However, not all of his new content is performing well. The most recent video posted to X, in which Wallace flexes his arm muscles and films the vegetables he's growing in his garden, has zero likes hours after posting, despite his substantial following. There is some support in the comment sections of his videos, with one Instagram follower commenting, 'The comeback is bigger than the setback.' Another adds: 'I can't wait for when they give Gregg Wallace his 'own' cook program, with 'proper' banter and 'real' guest personalities. It'll happen and it would be superb!' But Wallace's social media presence is still marked by his BBC exit. His pinned post on Instagram references the allegations, saying: 'I've said everything I needed to say in the interview with the Mail and meant every word I said. 'It was hard to do but speaking honestly for myself, my family and especially my mum, felt right. 'Right now, I don't want to add anything more. I've opened my heart and that has to be enough. 'There will be a lot of noise, I get that; but I won't be joining in. I need space to heal and to be with the people who know who I really am.'

EXCLUSIVE Gregg Wallace turns to TikTok to revive his career after BBC investigation into claims of inappropriate sexual comments
A BBC investigation last month revealed 13 individuals had made allegations of inappropriate sexual comments by him during his time at the channel. And now, Gregg Wallace has turned to TikTok to help revive his career as he uses the Gen Z platform to share recipes, health tips and cash in on his wellness website. The former MasterChef host, 60, has begun pushing the Free Resource Hub on his website, GreggWallace Health, which is one of his remaining sources of income after he was axed from the BBC in November. In several videos over the past week, Wallace has said: '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.' On his website, Wallace is still described as 'a popular television presenter' while his caterer wife, Anne-Marie, 37, is the 'recipe curator'. Customers can 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 which include recipes, health specialist advice and a 'vibrant community'. The couple, who run the website together, have recently added a feature in which customers can buy ready meals for £8 or a bundle of eight for £80. The 60-year-old stepped away from hosting BBC cooking competition MasterChef after a host of historical complaints came to light last year, which led to an external investigation by the show's production company, Banijay UK. The former greengrocer said he felt last year he 'Had to speak out because people were saying what they liked about me and it wasn't true' after he was criticised for saying on social media that the complaints were made by 'a handful of middle-class women of a certain age'. But the father of three has since returned to social media and is now on TikTok promoting his healthy lifestyle. He is particularly attentive to fans in the comment section and posts a TikTok video each morning showing inside the kitchen of his countryside pile in Kent. The former BBC star talks about 'contemplating the day ahead' before going to the gym at 6am and having breakfast with his wife and their four-year-old son, Sid. Under a video in which he asks viewers, 'What are you excited about today', one fan wrote, 'Hope you're doing ok mate', in reference to his recent axing from the BBC after multiple complaints of harassment were made, to which Wallace replied, 'Recovering slowly'. It's now almost three months since the greengrocer-turned-television star's career spectacularly derailed amid a flurry of claims of inappropriate behaviour during his 19-year stint as co-host of MasterChef. It was announced the father-of-three would be stepping back from the BBC show amid an investigation into his conduct. It later emerged that 13 individuals, including Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark, had reportedly accused him of 'wrong' and 'sexualised' behaviour during filming across a range of shows over a 17-year period. The London-born presenter called the accusations he had groped crew members 'absolutely not true'. Wallace also said he was 'very slow to wake up to the changing nature of the work environment' and added he had a 'massive wake-up call' seven years ago that his 'energetic greengrocer persona' was 'becoming redundant'. His lawyers previously told the BBC 'It is entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature'. The BBC previously said 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 previously said it continues to regularly update and strengthen its 'MasterChef welfare processes'. The MasterChef producer declined to comment on Wallace's interview when contacted by the PA news agency. Food critic Grace Dent will judge the forthcoming 20th series of Celebrity MasterChef alongside Wallace's long-standing presenting partner John Torode. Samaritans can be contacted free on 116 123 or by emailing jo@ Other sources of support are listed on the NHS 'help for suicidal thoughts' webpage. Support is available around the clock, every day of the year.
