OUSTED MasterChef host Gregg Wallace is flogging a monthly subscription service for fans who can cook along with him.
The former BBC star is charging £4.99 a month for online classes with him on how to become a better cook.

The embattled cook has also launched an “ask me anything” page on his website after reinventing himself as a personal trainer.
For the honour of working out with him, the sacked presenter is charging clients £250 every four weeks to put them through their paces in the gym.
Gregg announced his subscriber-only page on Instagram.
“Every week I’m going to be doing a live cookalong and a live Q&A to my subscribers. Join them today for £4.99 a month,” he revealed.
His page adds: “Exclusive content. Subscriber badge. Social and broadcast channels. Ask me anything. Recipes.”
The channel has just one subscriber at the time of writing, but Gregg promises exclusive content each week.
Gregg launched his new career as a PT in July after losing five stone three years ago.
The 60-year-old had announced he was personally training clients to improve their “wellness” for a £200 a month price – but now he’s charging another £50 per month.
“You do not have to accept decline as a part of getting older. You can do something about this. You can be leaner, fitter, healthier, [and] have more energy,” Gregg said in a video on Instagram.
He continued: “I went on my own wellness journey and I am healthier at 60 than I was at 30.
“I coach people over 50. I help them feel better and look better and have more confidence. If you would like to speak to me about your own health journey, leave me a message here.”
In August, Gregg doubled down and denied sexually harassing colleagues or contestants on MasterChef.
Gregg recorded the early-morning video to plead his innocence as he strolled down a deserted street.
He was sacked from the BBC after an investigation into the allegations was was found to have made “unwanted physical contact” with at least one person.
“Sexual harassment allegations: I think what I’m about to tell you, may surprise you. In the six, seven month investigation, there was no evidence of sexual harassment,” Gregg said in the video.
“Do you know why? Because nobody ever brought that complaint to the investigation in the first place.”
He continued: “Now, after what you have been reading and listening to, doesn’t that surprise you?”
Claims of misconduct against Gregg first came to light last year and in July, the results of a BBC investigation showed that 83 complaints had been made against him.
More than 40 were upheld, including one of unwelcome physical contact and another three of being in a state of undress in front of others.
But Gregg insisted he was cleared of “the most serious and sensational allegations”.
The upheld complaint against co-host John Torode related to a offensive racist term allegedly used on the set of MasterChef in 2018.
John said in response that he had “no recollection” of it and that any racist language was “wholly unacceptable”.
