Prices slashed on Gregg Wallace’s wholesome consuming web site within the wake of shamed MasterChef star’s sexual harassment probe
Gregg Wallace has slashed prices on his healthy eating website, as the Masterchef star tells friends he expects to be sacked following an investigation into his behaviour.
Named ‘The Official Gregg Wallace Website’, the site hosts a selection of blog posts from the presenter’s hobbies, to his holidays and healthy recipes.
The site also has links to other websites where users can purchase his various cook books.
As part of his weight loss business, the site also offers membership plans to his GreggWallace.Health subscription service the price of which has now been slashed from £90 to £50.
The sale was spotted for the first time 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!’
The service offers ‘easy-to-follow filmed recipes, nutritional guidance and community support’ as well as claiming to save customers money and help with ‘mindset and motivation’
In the description for the service, the site reads: ‘Discover a sustainable way to lose weight and keep it off. Learn to eat well, gradually swap out unhealthy habits for better ones, and see lasting results.

Gregg Wallace is facing claims from at least 13 women who have accused him of inappropriate behaviour
‘We’ll guide you every step of the way, offering support and strategies that fit your life. It’s simpler than you think:
‘Ready to transform your health and feel your best? – no risks, just results. Cancel anytime.’
The site also has a picture of Gregg with a message boasting about how he lost 5 stone and kept it off’ and how he has helped ‘countless others’ do the same.
He claims the weight loss was achieved ‘not by dieting’, but by following his ‘proven weight loss system’.
Gregg launched his weight loss business, Gregg Wallace Health (GWH), four years ago, which shares advice and recipes to help people lose weight.
Some users of the plan, which puts no food off-limits but discourages unhealthy snacking, say they have lost 12 stone.
The programme recently partnered with Loughborough University, where researchers were testing how well it works in the hope it would get the backing of the NHS.
Earlier this year, Gregg Wallace revealed the secrets behind his five stone weight loss.
The former greengrocer shook up his diet after hitting nearly 17 stone, with a dangerously obese BMI, and doctors warned him he was at risk of having a heart attack.

After trying ‘all the diets under the sun’ and none of them working, he said the secret to his slimming success was cutting out takeaways, chocolate and crisps and ‘eating proper meals’, rather than removing carbs from his diet.
Gregg said the Mediterranean diet, which is full of whole grain carbohydrates, is ‘the best you can have’ and pointed to France, Italy and Spain where they consume lots of bread, potatoes and pasta but are ‘all slim’.
On Saturday it was revealed that Gregg admitted ‘defeat’ and accepted his career is over in the wake of an investigation by a production company into his alleged sexual harassment and groping.
In October Gregg vehemently denied that he had made inappropriate sexual comments towards women, declaring that he would never ‘flirt with’ or ‘hit on’ another woman and: ‘I didn’t say anything sexual’.
A source has now told MailOnline that Gregg has told friends that he ‘accepts his TV career is basically at an end.’
They revealed that Gregg is being ‘quite reflective and pragmatic’ about the investigation and has concluded he has ‘had a good run and done well for a bloke who was basically a greengrocer.’
Gregg Wallace was previously forced to apologise for comments he made about allegations which came from ‘middle class women of a certain age’
Gregg set up his own fruit and vegetable business – earning himself the nickname ‘Gregg the Veg’ from friends – in 1989 and supplied restaurants including Quaglinos, where young Aussie chef John was working.
While this year’s Masterchef Christmas specials have been pulled from the TV schedule there is also discussion that the BBC will be removing historic shows featuring him due to the nature of the complaints.
MailOnline have contacted the BBC for comment. Gregg’s representatives refused to comment when approached by MailOnline.
Other allegations include talking openly about his sex life on set, with details of intimate acts, flirting with crew members and asking younger female colleagues for their numbers.
Meanwhile The Sun has reported the star has stopped using his legal team as he believes he will be sacked from MasterChef and has resigned to his fate.
The presenter has reportedly turned down crisis-publicity teams in the weeks after several women complained he had groped or harassed them.
He announced he was stepping away from presenting MasterChef after nearly 20 years last month, while an investigation into his alleged misconduct is carried out.
Banijay UK, the show’s production company, previously said the complaints were made to the BBC by ‘individuals in relation to historical allegations of misconduct while working with Gregg Wallace on one of our shows’.

The company said Wallace was ‘committed to fully co-operating throughout the process’.
‘Whilst these complainants have not raised the allegations directly with our show producers or parent company Banijay UK, we feel that it is appropriate to conduct an immediate, external review to fully and impartially investigate,’ the company said.
‘While this review is under way, Gregg Wallace will be stepping away from his role on MasterChef and is committed to fully co-operating throughout the process.
‘Banijay UK’s duty of care to staff is always a priority and our expectations regarding behaviour are made clear to both cast and crew on all productions, with multiple ways of raising concerns, including anonymously, clearly promoted on set.
‘Whilst these are historical allegations, incidences brought to our attention where these expectations are not met, are thoroughly investigated and addressed appropriately.’
Gregg Wallace’s representatives have been approached for comment.
