BALDY BOND!

MasterChef’s Gregg: Make 007 slaphead

- ■ EXCLUSIVE by ED GLEAVE edward.gleave@dailystar.co.uk

GREGG Wallace wants the next James Bond to be a slaphead.

The MasterChef star, 56, reckons there aren’t enough baldies in TV shows and films.

He said: “I have a bald head and glasses and that’s quite unusual on TV at the moment.

“I’d love to see more bald guys on TV. Our television is far too hair-ist!

“And I think it’s about time we had a bald James Bond.

“That’s what I’m holding out for.”

Gregg is one of just a handful of bald men on primetime TV – with Harry Hill and Dominic Littlewood among the best known.

But the look has worked wonders for Gregg and even made him a sex symbol.

He said: “It’s my look. And my look doesn’t change. It’s the bald head and glasses.

“I have women flirting with me. If you’re on the television, you’ve got to accept that’s an occupation­al hazard.”

Gregg is back with a new series of MasterChef tomorrow at 9pm on BBC One.
