Gregg Wallace says he is selling family home and plans to travel around Italy

Former MasterChef presenter Gregg Wallace has revealed he is selling his family home and hopes to travel around Italy for five months.

The 61-year-old broadcaster was sacked from MasterChef last July after an investigation upheld dozens of misconduct allegations, including one of “unwelcome physical contact”.

Since his exit, Wallace has been selling videos on Cameo and working as a life coach. He previously admitted his “career was over”.

Now, the presenter has revealed he is selling his £1 million home in Kent and “trying to organise a life of adventure”.

“Big changes this year,” he told fans in a Instagram video on Monday in what appeared to be his family home.

“Selling this, our family home, moving to a new area, trying to organise a life of adventure, travelling around Italy for five months of the year.”

The presenter also said he wishes to homeschool his six-year-old son Sid, whom he publicly revealed was diagnosed with autism in 2022.

Wallace continued: “I want to take on that responsibility and, at the same time, trying to build a business with Ruth and Sarah – autism experts for helping families with autistic children.

“There is a lot going on.”

The broadcaster lives in Kent with his Italian wife Anne-Marie Sterpini, whom he married in 2016, and their young child.

In a separate post, he was seen inside his family home saying: “Big conversations going on now. What would you take?

“What would you leave behind? Don’t say you’d leave behind all of it.”

The TV chef was the face of hit BBC cooking competition MasterChef alongside John Torode for almost two decades, but it was announced in November 2024 that he would step away from his role while misconduct allegations were investigated.

He was sacked last July after a review later upheld 45 of the 83 allegations against him, which mostly occurred between 2005 and 2018.

They included one accusation of “unwelcome physical contact”.

Wallace, who also co-presented the spin-off Celebrity MasterChef, issued an apology saying he was “deeply sorry for any distress caused” and that he “never set out to harm or humiliate”.

He launched legal proceedings against the BBC and BBC Studios Distribution Limited, seeking up to £10,000 in damages.

He alleged the organisations failed to provide copies of his personal data, which he said caused him “distress and harassment”.

In February, he dropped his High Court claim against the BBC and will not receive any compensation.
