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.'

This influencer left the fashion industry. Now, she's battling toxic diet culture online
Emily English has become an internet sensation for sharing delicious recipes that are also healthy. The London-based BSc Nutritionist spoke with Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview about what inspired her career path and social media presence. English believes food is "amazing" and it is also possible to eat good food while getting plenty of nutrients. English, also known as "@emthenutritionist" on Instagram, shares recipes with her 1.8+ million followers. She said she started doing so during the COVID lockdowns. "I started by actually - it was during lockdown at the time when COVID was rife, and I used to open my kitchen cupboard and I used to balance my phone on the shelf of the kitchen cupboard so it would look top down onto my chopping board and I would film me making what I would eat that day." English was inspired to study nutrition when she witnessed toxic diet culture and also when her own relationship with food suffered. "I kind of realized I had this massive gap in my knowledge of the human body and something that I do every single day — and that's eat. So, I felt like there was this real big detachment from normal nutrition and what we were learning about nutrition." While creating recipes for people to enjoy, English wants her recipes to be loved but also for people to feel satisfied after eating them. "I also want people to feel full and satisfied and content because... Feeling full and satiety and feeling kind of okay, I'm done, is such an important part of a healthy balanced diet and so many people think, 'oh nutrition I'm just not I'm going to be starving all the time,' if that makes sense, but I won't yeah, I want people to feel comfortable, content and full." English is also a number one bestselling author of cookbooks. She wrote "SO GOOD" in 2024, and her upcoming book "Live To Eat" is now available for preorder and will be on sale July 1st. "They're just full of food that you want to eat that's also good for you. So, it nourishes your body, it nourish your mind," English said about her new book. English concluded that it doesn't take drastic changes to live a healthier lifestyle. "You don't have to change every single thing that you already do in order to be healthier. So, diets don't work because they overhaul everything, and you suddenly lose every single bit of identity that you have with how you normally eat. So, what I always say is take what you do and think about the easy things that you know that you can change, but actually make that change every day because it's the tiny differences that we can actually stick to that are going to make the difference long term." Watch English appear on "Fox & Friends" on Monday 5/19 at 6:50 AM ET.
