Gregg Wallace brushes off backlash to his 'Alan Partridgian' Saturday regime' as he strips off to recreate American Beauty poster


He's best known for presenting MasterChef and Inside The Factory.  Yet Gregg could have a career in modelling on the cards after stripping off for a Valentine's campaign.

The former greengrocer, 59, channelled his inner Mena Sevari as he recreated the famous scene from American Beauty (albeit with less flesh on show) in collaboration with SMARTY Mobile, who are giving away free roses for Valentine's Day to help combat the 'cost of loving' crisis. Revealing he doesn't indulge in a weekend lie-in, Gregg kicks off his day at 5am, reading for an hour - currently A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles - before making himself a cup of coffee and checking the sign-up numbers for his health programme. There's no more time to rest, however, as he has to stick to his five day a week workout regime, revealing he has persuaded staff to open the gym half an hour early for him every weekend so he can enjoy a private swim and sauna.
