HAPPY MONDAY: Gregg Wallace doesn’t wear underwear while he’s doing his Strictly training

Gregg ‘three Gs in that, or I’ll take you out back and I’ll punch you up the pudding’ Wallace does not wear underwear while he’s training with Strictly partner Aliona Kavanagh. To repeat: Gregg Wallace is, right now, undoubtedly growing groinally clammy in a practice studio somewhere in south London, with nary a jock strap to stop his Lil’ Gregg from rubbing up against his sequined trousers. So that’s something to think about, isn’t it? Something a bit harrowing to think about. Something to think about while you’re just trying to get through this horrible Monday without being sick on your desk.

Anyway we know this intimate Gregg Wallace underwear detail because Gregg’s professional partner, Strictly regular Aliona Kavanagh, tweeted to tell us so.

“Rehearsal with @GreggAWallace went from funny to disturbing ...” she said over the weekend. “Trousers split at the back= funny... Gregg not wearing underwear= disturbing!”

Why is Gregg not wearing any underwear? Is it so, if he chooses to have a pudding at lunch, he has a minute amount of extra space in his trousers to expand into if his tiramisu is a bit heavy? Is it just because he enjoys the feeling of his thighs dancing around his own body? And just what did he do to split his trousers? Hopefully — hopefully — we will never find the answers to those questions.
