Desperate Gregg Wallace slashes prices on his healthy eating website as he attempts to cash in before MasterChef axe
GREGG Wallace has slashed the prices on his healthy eating website, as he attempts to cash in before his MasterChef axe.
The Masterchef star has told friends he expects to be sacked following an investigation into his alleged sexual harassment and groping.
And several women have come forward about his behaviour, prompting the review.
Now, over on Gregg’s health website where he offers various membership plans, £40 has been slashed off the annual plans, which were originally £90.
This is a new development on the website that occurred this week.
A pop up on his site reads: “get £40 off the annual subscription. At less than £1 a week, it’s the easiest decision you’ll make for your health this year. Join us today and transform your life with GreggWallace.Health!”
MasterChef’s Gregg launched his website to help people lose weight and keep it off.
The first page sees photos of the TV star, as well as Gregg’s story on how he lost five stone which, he tells visitors “isn’t by dieting.”
The price slash comes as Wallace stopped using his pricey legal team as he resigned himself to the MasterChef sack.
The under-fire presenter has also turned down crisis-publicity teams in the weeks after several women complained he groped or harassed them.
The BBC1 show’s production firm Banijay UK launched a probe last month and Wallace, 60, has strongly denied any wrongdoing.
But those close to him said he understood his position on MasterChef was no longer tenable.
A source said: “Gregg’s conceded he has lost everything. To put it bluntly, he’s told people, ‘I’m f***ed’.
“He came out swinging but he has quietly conceded that he knows his time on MasterChef is over and that he will be stepping aside.
“He has contested the sexual allegations and insisted any jokes he made were just jokes. He said he never meant to cause any offence.
Gregg Wallace - MasterChef scandal in Brief
GREGG Wallace has stepped down from his MasterChef hosting role after a probe into alleged inappropriate behaviour. But what's the situation?
Regular MasterChef host Gregg Wallace is currently the subject of a probe after an investigation was launched into his alleged misconduct over a number of years.
Gregg has been accused of making sexual remarks to 13 colleagues including Beeb anchor Kirsty Wark – accusations he denies.
The 60-year-old has now stepped away from the BBC show while historical misconduct allegations against him are investigated.
Yet the former greengrocer spoke out on social media to blast the “women of a certain age” who he claimed were behind the allegations.
The cooking show’s production company, Banijay UK, has said law firm Lewis Silkin would lead the investigation into Wallace’s alleged misconduct.
“Gregg has been under a huge amount of pressure since the allegations came to light and tried his best to fight his corner.
“The BBC and Banijay UK have now spoken to a number of different individuals and they know they must be seen to take action.
“Gregg knows the time will come when he has to step aside and as much as that pains him, it seems he has come to terms with it.”
