After growing a fruit and veg stall into a successful restaurant supplier business Gregg went from Radio 4’s Veg Talk to one of the biggest shows on TV in MasterChef. Passionate about people knowing what food to buy rather than where they buy it from he’s also the co-host of Eat Well for Less? After dinner he reveals what happens when the MasterChef cameras are off (all the crew carry their own cutlery) and what questions about the show he’s asked the most.
