Gregg Wallace has taken up a role as a personal trainer as he awaits his fate over allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
The former TV presenter 60, launched his own health and wellbeing site three years ago after his impressive weight loss.
And now he revealed he’s personally training clients after being suspended from MasterChef last year.
He said on Instagram on Thursday: ‘I’ll be in the gym at 6 o’clock. I’ve got three clients today that I’m coaching to better health. Don’t go anything big and radical – you won’t be able to keep it up.’
The fallen star also revealed he was growing his own grub while on gardening leave – with spuds, carrots, herbs and lettuce all on the menu.
He also produces his own range of ready meals.

Gregg launched the range in January and single meals are £8 or buyers can purchase eight for £60.
Gregg said: ‘Delicious, Nutritious Ready Meals that taste so good you might not believe they’re healthy!
‘Order your ‘Made for You’ meals today. We currently deliver on Wednesdays & Fridays only.
‘Kick start your New Year’s resolution with delicious, healthy and filling meals. Note: We don’t currently deliver to the Scottish Highlands, Channel Islands, or Northern Ireland.’
Gregg tells would-be buyers of a chicken curry: ‘Experience a flavourful and satisfying meal with our homemade frozen Chicken & Mushroom Curry.
‘Made with spicy chicken and savoury mushrooms, this 500g ready meal also includes nutritious brown rice. Perfect for a quick and delicious dinner option.’
A BBC investigation last month revealed 13 individuals had made allegations of inappropriate sexual comments by him during his time at the channel.
And now, Gregg has turned to TikTok to help revive his career as he uses the Gen Z platform to share recipes, health tips and cash in on his wellness website.

The former MasterChef host has begun pushing the Free Resource Hub on his website, GreggWallace Health, which is one of his remaining sources of income after he was axed from the BBC in November.
In several videos over the past week, Wallace has said: ‘I wanted to tell you something that I’m pleased about and it’s free, it’s got loads of good recipes you can look at, it’s got blogs and even a little quiz.’
On his website, Wallace is still described as ‘a popular television presenter’ while his caterer wife, Anne-Marie, 37, is the ‘recipe curator’.
Customers can pay £11.99 per month, £49.99 for six months or £89.99 for a year to get full access to the GreggWallace Health tools which include recipes, health specialist advice and a ‘vibrant community’.
The couple, who run the website together, have recently added a feature in which customers can buy ready meals for £8 or a bundle of eight for £80.
Gregg stepped away from hosting BBC cooking competition MasterChef after a host of historical complaints came to light last year, which led to an external investigation by the show’s production company, Banijay UK.
The former greengrocer said he felt last year he ‘Had to speak out because people were saying what they liked about me and it wasn’t true’ after he was criticised for saying on social media that the complaints were made by ‘a handful of middle-class women of a certain age’.
Gregg says that many of those who work with him are appalled by what is happening. His MasterChef co-host John Torode has phoned twice
Newsnight host Kirsty Wark, 70, accused Gregg of telling ‘sexualised’ jokes during the filming of Celebrity MasterChef in 2011. He maintains he was never aware that he had offended her until her complaint became public
But the father of three has since returned to social media and is now on TikTok promoting his healthy lifestyle.
He is particularly attentive to fans in the comment section and posts a TikTok video each morning showing inside the kitchen of his countryside pile in Kent.
The former BBC star talks about ‘contemplating the day ahead’ before going to the gym at 6am and having breakfast with his wife and their four-year-old son, Sid.
Under a video in which he asks viewers, ‘What are you excited about today’, one fan wrote, ‘Hope you’re doing ok mate’, in reference to his recent axing from the BBC after multiple complaints of harassment were made, to which Wallace replied, ‘Recovering slowly’.
It’s now almost three months since the greengrocer-turned-television star’s career spectacularly derailed amid a flurry of claims of inappropriate behaviour during his 19-year stint as co-host of MasterChef.
It was announced the father-of-three would be stepping back from the BBC show amid an investigation into his conduct.
It later emerged that 13 individuals, including Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark, had reportedly accused him of ‘wrong’ and ‘sexualised’ behaviour during filming across a range of shows over a 17-year period.
The London-born presenter called the accusations he had groped crew members ‘absolutely not true’.
Wallace also said he was ‘very slow to wake up to the changing nature of the work environment’ and added he had a ‘massive wake-up call’ seven years ago that his ‘energetic greengrocer persona’ was ‘becoming redundant’.
His lawyers previously told the BBC ‘It is entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature’.
The BBC previously said the corporation will not ‘tolerate behaviour that falls below the standards we expect’ and will continue to champion ‘a culture that is kind, inclusive and respectful ‘.
Two MasterChef celebrity Christmas specials were pulled from the BBC’s schedule in December 2024.
Banijay UK previously said it continues to regularly update and strengthen its ‘MasterChef welfare processes’.
The MasterChef producer declined to comment on Wallace’s interview when contacted by the PA news agency.
Food critic Grace Dent will judge the forthcoming 20th series of Celebrity MasterChef alongside Wallace’s long-standing presenting partner John Torode.
