Gregg Wallace has been slammed by frustrated followers after praising his own and his wife\u2019s slim figures while promoting his lifestyle plan.<\/p>\n
The MasterChef judge, 58, also revealed his exact weight on an Instagram post, extolling the virtues of their approach to food and their health, while claiming they \u2018don\u2019t diet\u2019.<\/p>\n
TV personality Gregg has lost five stone since 2017 after he overhauled his lifestyle, following on from a stark doctor\u2019s warning that he was at great risk of a life-threatening heart attack.<\/p>\n
Since then, he has actively encouraged his fans to join him in prioritising their health.<\/p>\n
However, his latest message on Sunday didn\u2019t appear to go down well with some of his followers as the presenter and self-described \u2018pudding enthusiast\u2019 seemed to annoy them by bragging about being \u2018slim\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u2018We are slim and well, the pair of us. I weigh just over 12 stone. We don\u2019t diet, in fact we eat big meals every day!\u2019 Gregg wrote in the caption of a smiling selfie of the couple taken on the beach.<\/p>\n

\u2018Anna has never been in a gym,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
\u2018What we\u2019ve learned is how to eat healthily, not be hungry, not willpower and not portion control!<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ve helped hundreds of people and I can help you too.\u2019<\/p>\n
Gregg tied the knot with Anne-Marie Sterpini, 36 \u2013 known as Anna \u2013 in 2016, with whom he welcomed son Sid in 2019.<\/p>\n
\u2018I don\u2019t think that\u2019s entirely true a gram of fat will sit differently on different body types and metabolisms. Some people will burn this quicker than others,\u2019 responded one of his followers in the comments.<\/p>\n
\u2018Maybe Anna has a faster metabolism. Some people do,\u2019 pointed out another.<\/p>\n
\u2018Some (lucky) people don\u2019t have to get to the gym (on a sensible diet). Others do,\u2019 wrote someone else.<\/p>\n

Gregg was also branded \u2018privileged\u2019, while another fan posted: \u2018Brilliant I weigh the same as Greg \ud83d\ude44\ud83e\udd23.\u2019<\/p>\n
The British Miracle Meat documentary maker was praised by others though, for looking \u2018fabulous, healthy and happy\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u2018You both look incredible,\u2019 added someone else.<\/p>\n
Last month, Gregg shared a motivational speech on his health journey after appearing on Good Morning Britain.<\/p>\n
\u2018Don\u2019t go on a diet,\u2019 he insisted on\u00a0the show.<\/p>\n
\u2018Don\u2019t do something that\u2019s really difficult that you can\u2019t maintain. We\u2019re logical people, right? If it\u2019s so difficult and so uncomfortable, you won\u2019t keep it up.<\/p>\n
\u2018What I tell everybody, and this is the key, eat three healthy meals a day.\u2019<\/p>\n
Expanding on the point in an Instagram video afterwards, he encouraged his 170k followers to make \u2018small changes\u2019 in order to see a difference.<\/p>\n
\u2018The difference between being overweight and being slim is not one major great big leap, like a huge change overnight, but a series of small changes over time. That\u2019s what it is,\u2019 he explained.<\/p>\n

\u2018Just getting better and better a little bit at a time. Not one huge great change that\u2019s uncomfortable, but small little steps.\u2019<\/p>\n
The host was also grilled by host Richard Madeley over the\u00a0circumstances of his departure from Inside The Factory.<\/strong><\/p>\n Despite\u00a0stepping back from the BBC2 show<\/strong>\u00a0in March after claiming he wanted to spend more time with\u00a0his three-year-old son<\/strong>\u00a0Sid, the host\u2019s interaction at the Nestl\u00e9\u00a0factory has since been cited as a contributing factor.\u00a0<\/p>\n The\u00a0MasterChef\u00a0presenter was accused of being \u2018rude towards staff\u2019 and \u2018talking in a derogatory manner, especially to women\u2019 and was alleged to have been \u2018appalled\u2019 that he had caused \u2018such an offence.\u2019<\/p>\n He said: \u2018There was an argument in Inside The Factory. The reporting isn\u2019t accurate. There was an issue and I thought that was the perfect time to come out.<\/p>\n \u2018Offending people? No, no. If you look at the headlines you can\u2019t see a story that matches those headlines. But there was an issue; I don\u2019t want to discuss what the issue was.<\/p>\n \u2018But I thought it was a good time \u2013 Mum needs help with Sid at home, running around the country going to those factories \u2013 I thought it was a good time to give something up.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
