MasterChef’s Gregg Wallace takes topless selfie as he shows off his impressive weight loss
GREGG Wallace impressed his Instagram fans this morning as he shared a topless mirror selfie.
The MasterChef star, 54, revealed his toned body and told his followers: "Getting there".
With the help of perosnal trainer Danny Rai, Gregg is at 12st 3lbs and a healthy 18 per cent body fat.
Fans were impressed with his efforts, with one writing: "You look fitter than me already mate, I am half of your age."
Another said: "Blimey. That was a shock over my Rice Krispies this morning."
Others had questions for the TV star, and Gregg was happy to respond.
When asked how much weight he gains while filming MasterChef, Gregg replied: "None any more."
While another was curious about his chest tattoo, that Gregg explained was dedicated to his football team Millwall.
The star, who used to be 16½st, decided to overhaul his life a few years ago - after admitting he was drinking booze most days and frequently ordering takeaways.
The chef said: "I made a conscious decision to cut down on fried and high sugar foods, as well as booze — which helped me lose weight.
“When I was at my biggest I was having a daily fry up, fish and chips once per week, takeaway a couple more times and drinking beer nearly every day. At first, I felt like I was missing out.
“But my body got used to what I was giving it and yours will too.”
Sharing his advice on sticking to a diet, the star added: "Don’t cut out things you like - it will just make you miserable.
“I’m a huge fan of curries, chillies and stews and it is still possible to lose weight and eat hearty meals.
“Think about cooking with meats such as chicken and pork — all the things that don’t have much fat.

“Use lean mince to make chillies, fill up with tasty stews stuffed full of healthy, low-calorie veg.
“Try putting a chicken on a baking tray with potatoes, onions and olive oil and leaving it in the oven for a couple of hours. Serve it with a portion of steamed veg — which doesn’t take long to do at all — and it’s a balanced, healthy and good value meal, suitable for the whole family.
“These ingredients are basic and all in your supermarket.”
