20 yrs ago, says Giles Coren in The Times, I got asked if I wanted to present MasterChef. At the audition I delivered “pristine culinary witticisms like something out of Oscar Wilde”. After it a bald bloke with a very loud voice went in, shouting and laughing. “Who’s that?” I asked. “Your competition,” they said. “A greengrocer".Today, Gregg Wallace is being hung out to dry for being “what they were looking for”. They didn’t want Oscar Wilde, but a greengrocer. “And they got a greengrocer.”
