Gregg Wallace "clashes a lot" with John Torode on 'Celebrity MasterChef'.
John Torode and Gregg Wallace often 'clash' on 'Celebrity MasterChef'
The pair have worked together on the BBC cookery contest since 2005 but Gregg admits that they often argue over which stars to send home from the show.
Gregg, 58, told OK!: "We disagree a lot and it comes down to two things. You can debate the level of cookery skill but what can’t be debated is the pure and utter joy of eating something delicious. John can’t tell me I’m wrong there.
"It’s a foggy area and that’s where we often clash. But John wins - he gets the hump when I say this but at the end of the day, he’s the chef."
John confessed that he sometimes "capitulates" when the duo face a tough decision but will fight his own corner if his fellow judge is being stubborn.
The 58-year-old celebrity chef said: "We’ve known each other for so long now, that if I look at Gregg and he has some form of emotion in his eyes then I will capitulate.
"But if there’s a stubbornness to Mr Gregg Wallace, I will fight to the bitter end. I’ll stick my teeth in and hold on tight."
The pair also discussed how they do not spend much time together away from 'MasterChef' and have not visited each other's houses.
Gregg said: "We don’t see each other very much and he doesn’t cook for me – but how many colleagues have you cooked for? We are incredibly close and work together really well, but what makes that work is time apart."
John added: "We allow each other to be ourselves. We live completely separate lives, we don't socialise, we've not been to each other's houses. We’re different from each other and it means we can give varied opinions on the show."
