Gregg Wallace has slashed prices on his new health food range venture having been replaced on MasterChef by food critic Grace Dent.
The 60-year-old presenter stepped back from the cooking show after nearly 20 years, as various allegations emerged that he had made sexual comments and behaved inappropriately to staff and guests.
Food critic and I’m a Celebrity star Dent will be replacing Wallace, it has been confirmed. She regularly appears as a critic on MasterChef and is known for her straight-shooting comments.
Prior to the allegations emerging about Wallace, he had updated his blog in November to announce that he was launching a frozen ready meal range as part of his GreggWallace.Health recipes subscription service.
The service offers customers “easy-to-follow filmed recipes, nutritional guidance and community support”. It also claims that customers will save money by subscribing and it can assist with “mindset and motivation”.
It has now been noted, that Wallace has cut the prices on the overall service by £40. An annual subscription for the service is currently £89.99 without the discount.

“I can’t wait to meet the fresh celebrity faces for 2025.”
Meanwhile, co-host John Torode, who has presented MasterChef since 2005, said: “I have loved working with Grace on MasterChef over the years. She has been an excellent guest, an inspiring critic and also set some incredible challenges.
