Gregg Wallace has left fans confused with his revealed weekend routine.

The 59-year-old MasterChef judge wrote a column where he talked about how he spends his weekends. He discussed various topics such as his bond with his son who has autism, how he manages his lunchtime routine and even shared how he convinced his nearby gym to open up earlier for him every day.

“I was allowed to enter the gym before it officially opened, which gave me the opportunity to enjoy a solo swim and sauna. After that, I plan to take a leisurely walk on the treadmill while reviewing my tasks for the day. I won't be exerting myself too much though, so there will be no excessive sweating,” he shared with The Telegraph.

According to Wallace, he arranged to have breakfast with his personal assistant at the nearby Harvester restaurant at 10 in the morning. Afterwards, he would come back home by noon, where his spouse, Anne Marie Sterpini, who is 37 years old, had already prepared and served lunch.

As soon as readers caught sight of it, they couldn't help but compare it to Steve Coogan's hapless and musically challenged comedy persona, Alan Partridge.

A message shared on X/Twitter mentioned that the fact Wallace had breakfast at Harvester around 10:30am, followed by lunch at 12 was the most absurd part of the article.

One user joked: "I was unintentionally awakened at 5am. Maybe I should follow Greg Wallace's lead and spend an hour meditating or reading before attempting to check if my gym will be open earlier for me."

The comment that caused confusion among readers was when he mentioned that he asked his mother-in-law to come and assist with household tasks after the birth of his son Sid in the year 2019.

On Saturdays, at 10am, Gregg Wallace has breakfast with his personal assistant at a Harvester restaurant located in his local area.

He mentioned that he spends time with his son around 1:30 in the afternoon.

It brings me joy to hang out with my four-year-old boy named Sid, who has non-verbal autism. Before, he tended to isolate himself, however, he's now becoming more social and making eye contact. We enjoy spending time in our garden and having fun with our two furry friends, Wally and Bella.

Wallace expressed that becoming a father again in his 50s was not a decision he would have made.

I always told Anna the truth, but it's what she desired and I have strong feelings for her. I simply made two requests - that we received some assistance with household duties (thus leading to her mother moving in) and also that we set aside a minimum of one week every year for a vacation with just the two of us.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he goes back to his office at home. During this time, he spends two hours playing Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia video game.

At night, he mentioned that he prepares meals for his family once every seven days - "grilled fish bought from the fish seller at the nearby farm store".

Wallace's column has some enjoyable parts, such as his objection to consuming cookies on the couch and his fascination with the Harvester salad bar. However, numerous readers have objected to the way he depicted the interactions within his family.

A reader on X/Twitter expressed their shock at the part regarding parenthood.

Another person commented, "It would've been better if someone had checked this for errors before posting it. And he only cooks once a week? I don't even want to think about his child."
