Shamed Masterchef star Gregg Wallace has posted a new photo of himself with his partner for the first time since a scandal surrounding his conduct erupted.
The TV chef, 60, took to Instagram this morning to post a photo of himself with a beaming smile alongside his wife Anna.
In the post, which appears to have been deleted, he captioned the photo: ‘Eat well, live well, look after yourself. Get a little more active. Learn about nutrition. Learn to take care of yourself.’
He then posted a link to his Gregg Wallace health page.
It is the first photo of him and wife Anna he has posted since a series of allegations regarding his conduct on the BBC show came to light.

He stepped down from hosting the cooking show with Jon Torode in November after multiple complaints of inappropriate behaviour on set.
Gregg said he was stepping back from the public eye, claiming he ‘wasn’t in a good headspace’.
He was initially bullish in the face of the allegations, taking to Instagram to say they mostly came from ‘middle class women of a certain age’.
He went on to ask: ‘Can you imagine how many women on MasterChef have made sexual remarks or sexual innuendo?’
Since then, several high-profile names – including TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson as well as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer – have condemned his remarks in public statements.
The former greengrocer later apologised for the controversial comments which caused a PR storm.
The under-fire presenter said of his middle class women slur: ‘I wasn’t in a good headspace when I posted it. I’ve been under a huge amount of stress, a lot of emotion.’
