17 favourite and totally on-point things people are saying about Gregg Wallace right now

We take a break from hitting ‘refresh’ on Gregg Wallace’s Instagram page to bring you all our favourite things people are saying about the sometime presenter of BBC1’s MasterChef after his hasty reverse ferret on Monday.

You’ll remember Wallace doubled down in spectacular style with his broadside at ‘middle class women of a certain age’ only to apologise (of a sort) 24 hours later ‘for any offence caused’.

He was back on BBC1 on Monday night in a previously recorded episode which the corporation declined to pull from the schedules, but the BBC has pulled the Celebrity MasterChef Christmas specials after Melanie Sykes was the latest celebrity to complain about him.

And here’s exactly what people are saying about Wallace right now.

1.

“I wasn’t in a good head space when I posted it. I’ve been under a huge amount of stress, a lot of emotion, I felt very alone, under siege, yesterday, when I posted it,” said Gregg Wallace.

They should show MasterChef but dub Greg Wallace’s voice like they did with Gerry Adams.

I apologise for calling all the people who complained ‘middle-class women of a certain age’. I’d been under a huge amount of stress, the harvester breakfast I ate was cold, I had to look after the autistic child I never wanted and my battalion was defeated in Total War Saga!

There’s going to be a show at next year’s Edinburgh Fringe called “A handful of middle-class women of a certain age” isn’t there?
