Now a clip from the 2013 series of Celebrity Masterchef shows him making a rude comment to comedian Katy Brand.
The scene shows Katy presenting an egg tart to Gregg and his co-host John Torode.
Gregg tells her: "I find this quite pleasant. Left to my own devices, I’d probably munch the living daylights out of your little tart."
It comes after John's wife, and former Celebrity Masterchef star Lisa Faulkner, claimed Gregg "repeatedly told rude jokes" during filming.

“You’re just sitting there and if you’re on the front bench just chopping away thinking, ‘I’ve got ten minutes left,’ and he’s saying, ‘So this girl walked into a bar…’
