'Being married to Gregg was utter hell': A horrifying insight into the MasterChef star's repulsive behaviour, infidelity and visits to sex workers as revealed by his second wife Denise


When Denise Lovell first crossed paths with 'Gregg the Veg' in 1991, she was working as a chef at The Sanctuary, an exclusive health club in London's Covent Garden.

Bowled over by his charisma, she soon moved into Wallace's home – a rundown flat off the Old Kent Road in South London – unaware that his first marriage to a woman called Christine Harrison in 1988 had lasted only six weeks. And in a week which has seen multiple women come forward to accuse the four-times married MasterChef co-host of inappropriate behaviour, groping and sexual harassment, it gives a highly revealing insight into what it was like to be in an intimate relationship with the now disgraced TV personality. In his autobiography, Wallace said he was warned to stop playing up to his 'cheeky barrow boy' image at the beginning of his media career by TV producer Dixi Stewart, who worked with him on his radio show Veg Talk.
