has embarked on a new venture following his departure from .
The 60-year-old presenter, who left the popular cooking show amid allegations of sexual misconduct – accusations he vehemently denies – appears to be making a comeback away from TV.
The TV chef has launched a new line of “healthy” frozen microwave meals as he shared the exciting new venture through his health and fitness firm, GreggWallace.Health. The company are advertising the range of dishes which will set customers back £8 each for his tasty creations, reports .
His announcement comes after he previously revealed he had been taking advantage of enjoying “some time at home” with his friends and family.
Opening up about the move last November, Wallace stated: “I have been working for quite a while now on frozen ready meals from the GreggWallace.health range of recipes… Let’s see how we get on.

“I have managed to have some time at home and did some cooking. It’s a habit I want to get back into – cooking for the family once a week is something that I really enjoy.”
He added: “All our meals are frozen and shipped via DPD AM Delivery Service. They will arrive frozen or within the correct temperatures to transfer straight into your freezer unless otherwise stated in product descriptions.”
It comes as Wallace remains under investigation for the misconduct claims made against him. Several complaints were made against him after it was revealed in November that historical misconduct allegations are being reviewed by the show’s production company, Banijay UK.
The company stated at the time that the presenter is “committed to fully cooperating through the process” during the ‘s thorough investigation.
In a statement shared by the in November, Wallace’s legal representatives clearly stated: “It is entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature.”
Following these events, Grace Dent stepped in as Wallace’s replacement on MasterChef. Speaking about her thrilling new role with undiluted enthusiasm, Dent gushed: “I am absolutely over the moon. Honestly, I’m already drunk on power.”
During an appearance on This Morning, she continued to express joy and anticipation for her role, saying, “It’s one of the most wonderful shows on British TV and, when you go out into the public, you feel that warmth. You can’t eat anywhere in privacy ever again.”
She humorously added, “You can’t even go into a supermarket without people looking in your trolley saying ‘I can’t believe she’s bought that’. So it is lovely. It was a dream come true to move to this role, and it’s a very different role, because now I’ve got a lot.”
