Gregg Wallace looks very different with a full head of hair in resurfaced photos from his younger years. The host is seen smiling at the camera with dark locks in the snap which at first baffled fans over who it may be. The Bermondsey-born former greengrocer this week announced he was stepping away from his role on BBC 's MasterChef - after holding his judging role since 2005.

Gregg made the decision following an investigation into his conduct after 13 people were confirmed to have come forward with allegations - including BBC presenter Kirsty Wark. Gregg has been a regular on screen for the last 20 years after turning to fame after being kicked out of school when he was just 15. He went on to star on one of the biggest cooking shows on TV which created a variety of spin-offs, he has also authored many best-selling cookery books and has fronted everything from cookery shows to documentaries for the BBC.

This week, Wallace has found himself in hot water after it was revealed he is being investigated over claims about his conduct. The 60-year-old faces allegations of inappropriate sexual comments from 13 people across a range of shows over a 17-year period, as reported by BBC News which said it sent a letter to the TV star’s representatives earlier this week. Among the BBC News complainants is former Newsnight host Kirsty Wark, who alleged he told jokes of a “sexualised nature” when she was competing on Celebrity MasterChef in 2011.
