GREGG WALLACE QUITS BBC'S EAT WELL FOR LESS

Eat Well For Less sees Gregg Wallace and award-winning greengrocer Chris Bavin help families across the UK save money, sort food facts from food fiction and eat well for less.

Gregg confirmed: “I’ve loved working on the series with Chris but now it’s time to hand over the knife and fork to someone else to continue helping people eat well.”

An insider told The Sun: “Gregg is hugely popular and is in demand from all the big broadcasters. Stepping back from Eat Well For Less wasn’t an easy decision but breaking free means he can focus on new projects after his current shows come off air...

He finished filming MasterChef just before Christmas and now casting has started on the next series of Celebrity MasterChef. Gregg will start work on that in the next month or so. The MasterChef format alone keeps him so busy but Gregg wants to make sure he keeps his schedule as free as possible so he can take on new ventures without having to worry about having too much in his diary. It’s going to be a very exciting year for Gregg and he is looking forward to trying new things.”
