Gregg Wallace has announced his new career move after he stepped down from MasterChef last year, as he is now charging fans £200 a month to be their personal trainer
Following his departure from MasterChef, Gregg Wallace has unveiled his new career path as a wellness coach. The 60-year-old former presenter of the BBC cooking show, who lost five stone three years ago, has launched a wellbeing website called GreggWallace.Health. He is now offering personal coaching to clients, charging £200 a month, to help them improve their overall wellness.
In an Instagram video, Gregg shared: “You do not have to accept decline as a part of getting older. You can do something about this. You can be leaner, fitter, healthier, [and] have more energy.”
He continued: “I went on my own wellness journey and I am healthier at 60 than I was at 30. I coach people over 50. I help them feel better and look better and have more confidence.”
Gregg invited interested individuals to reach out to him about their health journey, saying: “If you would like to speak to me about your own health journey, leave me a message here,” reports the Manchester Evening News.
In another social media video, Gregg promoted his wellbeing website, highlighting the numerous healthy recipes available for those seeking to improve their diets. He said: “If you go to GreggWallace.Health right now, you can access literally hundreds and hundreds of really healthy meals that only take minutes to make.
“We’ve been doing this now for nearly five years. Working with nutritionists to produce really good, easy, really easy, healthy meals.”
This development comes as Gregg’s future hangs in the balance, with Banijay UK, the production company behind MasterChef, probing allegations of misbehaviour and sexual harassment levelled against him during his time on the BBC show.
In the wake of the allegations surfacing last year, Gregg stepped down from MasterChef in November. His lawyers have since maintained that the accusations, including claims of “behaviour of a sexually harassing nature”, are entirely without foundation.
Since departing MasterChef, Gregg revealed he had contemplated taking his own life, admitting, “I thought about suicide all the time”. In an interview with the Daily Mail, he shared his distressing experience: “Nobody from the BBC contacted me once these stories started breaking – absolutely nobody at all.
“News channels were updating hourly with new allegations. There was a tidal wave of abuse on social media, a dozen reporters outside the gate. You’re watching yourself get personally ripped apart, criticised, accused of all sorts of stuff over and over again.
“You’re thinking, ‘This isn’t true. It isn’t true. What’s coming next?’ You don’t sleep. Your chest races. Your body feels like it’s shutting down because it can’t cope with the levels of stress. You feel really dirty and horrible because everybody is saying you’re a pervert.
“Women – big, respected personalities I thought I had a decent relationship with – were attacking me.”
