After approaching three months from the spotlight, Gregg Wallace was spotted in public for the first time today.
The former MasterChef -Host, 60, resigned from hosting the show with Jon Torode in November after several complaints of inappropriate behavior on the set.
Gregg said he took a step back from the public eye and claimed that he was “not in a good headspace,” but he and has now been photographed to do groceries near his house in Kent.
Mr. Wallace looked seriously behind the wheel of his top of the Range BMW while he drove through a busy main street.
Gregg was last seen in public on November 28, when the scandal broke.
Days later he also took a break of social media when he initially claimed that the allegations came from “middle -class women of a certain age” – and then apologized.
He also returned to Instagram earlier this month.

After decades, Gregg came from the BBC show
Gregg Wallace stepped back from MasterChef in the midst of an investigation into his behavior for a period of 17 years
It is now almost three months since the career of the GreenGrocer-Volevision Star spectacularly derailed in the midst of a flurry of claims of inappropriate behavior during his 19-year-old Stint as co-host of MasterChef.
It was announced that the three-year-old father would take a step back from the BBC show in the midst of an investigation into his behavior.
Later it turned out that 13 people, including new night presenter Kirsty Wark, reportedly accused him of 'error' and 'sexualized' behavior during filming over various shows for a period of 17 years.
Three days after the announcement, the presenter ended up with more Opprobrium when he stated that his accusers were 'women from the middle class of a certain age' and claimed that 'absolutely no' of the employees had complained about him on his other shows.
It was an extraordinary explanation. Afterwards, GREGG brought a somewhat red face, which stated: 'I was not in a good headspace when I placed it. I have had a huge amount of stress, a lot of emotion. '
In the meantime, lawyers said it was completely incorrect that he deals with sexually intimidating nature.
And then the silence came – until the beginning of February.
Gregg's last message on social media (he still has 224,000 followers on Instagram) was on November 27 – only one day before the allegations made the headlines against him.
But he is back, he promotes healthy food, recipes and good mental health.
According to the local population in the peaceful village, near Gregg's house, he has 'low'.
They said, “He always said hello. We haven't seen or heard him for weeks. '
MasterChef: The Professionals are going into production this summer. An assessment into the behavior of the presenter will be closed at the end of the month, the mail understands it understands
The presenter has not seen any of them who picked up fish from his local farm shop, which he previously described in a versatile report of his daily routine.
An employee in the Hartley Farm Shop and Cafe, in nearby Cranbrook, said the mail: 'I haven't seen him since the entire Fallout. He always laughed with people here. It's really a shame. '
The e -mail understands that the 'assessment' in the behavior of GREGG on MasterChef will be closed at the end of February, but that he still has to be interviewed by the external team that is in charge of production company Banijay commissioned by production company.
A spokesperson for Banijay said that the investigation is still underway and there was no 'date for issue' at this stage.
Sources told the Mail's Alison Boshoff that, although he spent time with his family, he also focused on his business Gregg Wallace Health.
“That is his most important other thing outside the TV presentation,” says a source.
A TV source added: 'He actually had to wait until this investigation has been completed, so there is not much that he can do until it is done. So he is currently in a bit of a break and a little limbo. He waits to see.
“He is used to work. MasterChef is almost a full -time job throughout the year. So he is used to doing that. But he just has to wait until this study conducted his course.
“I think he realized in the course of time that they are serious things.”
In January, the presenter, 60, unveiled a series of 'healthy' frozen microwave meals in a new career movement while he continues to work after he has been replaced by Grace Dent on TV.
Wallace announced the move through his health and fitness company when he advertised the £ 8-a-Diegenh products, which showed that he had used 'some time at home'.
He said about the company: 'I have been working on frozen side and -and -of the Greggwallace's frozen side for a while now. Has recipes.
'Let's see how we go. I have succeeded in having some time at home and I cooked something. It is a habit that I want to go back in – cooking for the family once a week is something I really enjoy. '
He added: 'All our meals are frozen and sent via DPD AM delivery service. They will be frozen or arrive within the correct temperatures to transfer directly to your freezer, unless stated otherwise in product descriptions. '
A few meals are £ 8 or buyers can buy eight for £ 60.
Wallace is currently being investigated by the BBC in the midst of a series of allegations about its misconduct.
He was initially bullish opposite the allegations and went to Instagram to say that they usually came from 'middle -class women of a certain age'.
He asked: “Can you imagine how many women have made sexual comments or sexual insinuations on MasterChef?”
Since then, various high -profile names – including TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer – have been condemned in public statements.
The former Greengrocer later apologized for the controversial comments that caused a PR storm.
The interior presenter said about his women from the middle class: 'I was not in a good head room when I placed it. I have had a huge amount of stress, a lot of emotion. '
Among those who come forward with allegations against Wallace is a woman named Lisa, not her real name, who worked well on BBC Show in 2015.
She told the BBC Wallace 'hit her inappropriate' when they were filming in a supermarket.
“He wiped me past me at the cash register and touched my wanderer with his waist and penis and laughed and said,” Oooh you liked that not you, “she claimed.
“It was the way he responded, other people would have said,” Oh I am sorry, I can press, “which would have been good.” '
Lisa also claims that she had the feeling that she had to continue to work, but was 'not okay' and it described it as 'slimy and disgusting'. She claims that she raised it with a senior colleague, but that nothing has never been done.
Banijay says that they have no report on this incident that is raised on RDF television, which produced well for less Eat Gut.
A second woman claims that she met Wallace while working at an event in 2022.
The woman, only known as Sarah, claims that Wallace asked her to take him to the parking lot at the end of the event.
“As we walked down, he started putting his arm around me and saying,” Get on, hold my hand, don't want to stand next to me, “she told the BBC.
Other claims include talk about his sex life on the set, ask for the number of women and repeatedly question a gay woman about the 'logistics' of dating other women.
Wallace's lawyers said: “It is completely false that he is involved in sexually harassing nature.”
Food critic Grace Dent, 51, is set to replace Wallace on MasterChef, while the research into his behavior takes place.
Dent will assess the next 20th series of famous MasterChef, who has regularly appeared as a guest and then even as a participant in MasterChef: Battle of the Critics in 2022.
It is not known who will organize MasterChef: the professionals.
