Reminds me of this guy, watching England in the World Cup a few years ago, 3 Lions on his shirt :sweat_smile:

Here’s my contribution to the Gregg Wallace discourse. I picked this up in Jakarta a good few years back. It was shortly after he’d booted a Malaysian contestant off Masterchef because their chicken rendang wasn’t “crispy” enough. It turned into a minor international incident with the Prime Minister of Malaysia having to point out that Rendang isn’t served crispy. The guy is not popular across the whole of south east Asia ‘Enemy of 4 Nations’

I saw a Twitter post yesterday from a former contestant on Masterchef called Mei Mei (think that’s the correct spelling), when introduced to her Wallace said her name ‘was stupid’ and proceeded to call her You You for the rest of the filming.
Torode wasn’t much better apparently.

Gregg Wallace comes across as a massive twat on screen so no surprise to learn that he is one in real life. Another light entertainment celeb with no discernible talent stealing a living and its gone to his head.

I know someone who works for a very large food corporate that he was working with and they binned him off a while ago for being inappropriate and offensive towards their staff.

This could’ve gone in at least half a dozen threads but I think this one is most suitable.

Richie Rich was down this way in the week, popped into one of the best Pasty shops and they were so proud until the backlash on IG made them publish a retraction. Hopefully Cornwall are on the turn and will vote the cnuts out.

In a new documentary on Jack Charlton, players, celebrity supporters and the manager recount the highs and lows of their World Cup soccer days during his decade at the helm of green army.

Ireland’s most famous football fans including Colm Meaney, Ardal O’Hanlon and Dick Spring pay tribute to the man who changed the face of Irish soccer.

Striker Niall Quinn said his English teammate Tony Cascarino was baffled by the appearance of the then Taoiseach Charles Haughey in their dressing room in Rome after being beaten by Italy in the World Cup in 1990.

"We were in the dressing room and it was over and you could hear a pin drop. Our great leader at the time, Charles Haughey came in with Brian Lenihan and a few other colleagues behind him.

"Those of us brought up in Ireland stood there in amazement and he made a speech about the sporting sons of Ireland. It was hair-standing-on-the-back-of-neck stuff. Tony Cascarino was behind me and said loudly ‘Who the f**k is that?’ ruining the moment.

“I thought, Oh my God, and said ‘that’s the Taoiseach’ and Andy Townsend was beside him and said really loudly again ‘Who is it, Cas?’ and he said ‘I don’t know, Quinny said he owns a tea shop’.”

Genuinely made me laugh out loud there. Read a few accounts of that period for the Irish team and sounds like a great laugh while they achieved real on the pitch success

It makes me laugh every time I think of it, I can just picture it in my head and can hear Cascarino and Townsend’s voices, it’s like a comedy sketch.

Watched him on Inside The Factory last night. This week’s episode was how they make Mint Aeros.

Interesting viewing, but Jesus could anyone get more condescending. Patronise much?

They should have done an Augustus Gloop on him.

“Where’s Gregg? Dunno mate, he must have left early!”

Those fucking programmes. The worst dumbed down speaking to the audience like they’re complete fucking cretins moronic shit imaginable.

All the presenters do is shout back what they’ve just been told and mug to the camera.

“So what you’re telling me is this conveyor belt is processing TEN THOUSSSSAAAANNNNDDDD DIGESTIVE BISCUITS EVERY HOURRRRRR???”
