Gregg Wallace Quits UK for Italy After BBC Sacking
21 Apr
Summary
- Gregg Wallace is selling his £1 million mansion in Kent.
- He plans to move to Italy with his family for five months annually.
- Wallace will homeschool his autistic son during their time in Italy.
Gregg Wallace is preparing for a significant life change, selling his substantial £1 million mansion in Kent. This move follows his departure from the BBC last July after an investigation into workplace misconduct. Wallace confirmed his "new chapter" on Instagram, announcing plans to relocate to Italy with his family.
Wallace intends to divide his time between the UK and Italy, spending five months each year in his wife's home country. He also revealed his intention to homeschool his young son, Sid, who has autism and is non-verbal. This educational approach will be supported by autism specialists.
The former MasterChef presenter also plans to purchase a "much more modest" house in Yorkshire, closer to his daughter. This dual property plan allows for a slower pace of life and financial security for his younger wife and son.
Wallace's departure from the BBC and subsequent sale of his large estate stem from a desire for a less demanding lifestyle and to ensure his family's future. He had previously sued the BBC for data disclosure issues, though he later dropped the claim.
