Greg Wallace - what does he do ?

Agree with the general point of the thread but he is just one of dozens of people obscenely overpaid by the BBC (and ITV) for churning out cr@p and appearing just about every day on the box. See also Mary Berry, Nadia Hussain, Schofield, Willoughby, Fatty Holmes and his ever growing wife, the entire cast of Loose Women and many, many others.

Add Sue Perkins to your list.
 
If you don’t like torode then avoid his Saturday show with his Mrs Lisa Faulkner - utter Aussie smarm.

I can only presume he kidnapped her following winning masterchef and she still has Stockholm syndrome, she certainly hasn’t been seen on telly since other than tasting other contestants food on master chef. Wallace isn’t the only one on that show snaring younger pretty women.

I agree with the majority here. Very irritating man. Failed greengrocer.

Trouble is I don't know who I find more irritating : Wallace or John Torode. Both equally unwatchable. Masterchef and Celebrity Masterchef two of the worst programmes ever produced - because of the presenters.

Torode actually comes across much better imo on the weekend program he does with Lisa Faulkner (his wife) and seems w much more pleasant chap than he did on the programs he did with Wallace. My opinion of him has changed for the better. Can’t stand Wallace still mind.
 
little bit like that short cockney barrow boy Dom ....something.... over smiling and happy go lucky chappy, the older you get the more these cheesey presenters get on yer wick... tolerance for these charactors is very very minimal, Greg even ruins a decent factory documentry about food with silliness.

I couldn't agree more. The most irritating man on tv today. His food factory programmes re Walkers Crisps and Heinz Baked Beans would have been interesting but spoilt by his over the top jollyness and know all smugness.

And they're all the same, except for the product.

They’re only overpaid if they aren’t bringing in the viewers and unpopular with audiences, and pretty much all of them are doing well
 
He’s the obvious choice to front the factory program, because there is a lot of background noise and he’s very good at shouting.

In fact shouting is all he does, his master chef commentaries are mind numbing “fondue doesn’t get tougher than this” in a load shouty voice more appropriate to a formula 1 co-commentator. Maybe he’s after a spot on Topgear.

I complained about him to the BBC this week.
Decided sitting back and waiting for the world to change isn’t right so

On the show where the celebs (?) have to communicate to each other across a physical barrier...
He referred to the two men as ‘vying for dominance’
And the two women as ‘shrieking at each other’
There was no real difference in their behaviours
Lazy sexism n all that.

Just watched that episode 1finny and TBH I don't know what you are complaining about. Both comments were probably correct in the context of what was happening on the challenge.
 
Like Masterchef and quite like the odd factory thing I have watched but he can be irritating but there are far worse presenters on TV.
 
There were pictures in the daily mail recently where he was posing with his top off showing half a six pack, absolute utter cringe.Its nobworthy behavior at 20 but at 50 ffs. I dont mind him on masterchef but dull facts told as amazing by greg on that food factory program just doesnt work. "and then they put flavour on the crisps, Absolute bonkers Greg
 
I like him. He seems to like people.

After so many years a lot of his phrases have become a bit repetitive and stale I suppose, but that's no wonder really.
 
Find him cringeworthy, particularly the way he's creepy with female contestants/guests - like a non-parody version of Vic Reeves rubbing his thighs.
 
I once saw him outside of where I worked screaming into his phone about how he was waiting to be collected and swearing a lot. 5 minutes later a car drew up and the baldy shoutist began berating the driver as soon as he'd got out, for not being earlier. The driver remained unresponsive for a good minute and a half to 2 minutes as Wallace kept shouting into his face. As the shouting stopped for a big breath the driver asked where his luggage was. Wallace pointed to a pile of bags and boxes beside a nearby tree, and then set about screaming how they could have been stolen. He couldn't walk round with them, there was too much for him to be expected to carry. "Of course sir.", said the driver remotely opening the boot of his expensive looking car then collecting all the "luggage". Wallace went off again about how long he'd been waiting, how he couldn't go anywhere, how he had to keep an eye on all the "stuff". "Yes sir", said the driver, closing the boot and walking into the road to get to the driver's door. Wallace ambled to the rear passenger door. It was locked. "Open this," he shouted. The driver opened his door, climbed in and drove away very smoothly leaving a furious bald bloke stuck for words. I could only surmise that from the off the driver had been instructed to collect and return some set dressing stuff and would have taken Wallace too, but not when he saw what nob he was. Left me smiling all day.
