Gregg Wallace (born 1964 [ [http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/the-5minute-interview-gregg-wallace-food-expert-and-tv-presenter-851600.html The Independent - 5 minute interview] ] ) is a fruit and vegetable expert, writer, media presenter and former greengrocer. He is probably best known for co-presenting "Masterchef Goes Large" and "Celebrity Masterchef" on BBC2 and BBC1 along with John Torode, where he is referred to as an "ingredients expert".

Wallace was born in Peckham and began his career selling vegetables at a stand in Covent Garden. He started George Allan’s Greengrocers in 1989, a company that built up to an eventual turnover of £7.5 million. Due to his success he was invited to co-present "Veg Talk" on BBC Radio 4 with Charlie Hicks for seven years. He was the original presenter of "Saturday Kitchen" from 2002 until he was replaced by Antony Worrall Thompson in 2003 [ [http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/tv_and_radio/masterchef/presenters_index.shtml#gregg_wallace BBC - Food - TV and radio ] ] . He writes regularly for "Good Food" and "Olive" magazine, and is managing director of a mail-order business, Greggs Veg, from Hurst Farm, near Godalming, Surrey. Gregg is also co-director, with Howard Graham [ [http://www.westbury.co.uk/our-business/partners/howard-graham.html Westbury Howard Graham Profile] ] , of West Veg Limited, supplying fresh fruit and vegetables to the restaurant and hotel industry.

Gregg also presented "Veg Out" for the Discovery Channel, and "Follow That Tomato" for The Food Channel, resulting in a Royal Television Society award for Best Lifestyle Programme in 2003. He also has a home in Seasalter, Whitstable.

In 2007 he appeared in singing show "Just the Two of Us" where he partnered Carol Decker; they came last.
