GREGG Wallace has revealed his face "erupted in sores" due to the "stressful" nature of his Strictly Come Dancing stint.<\/p>\n
Popular MasterChef\u00a0judge\u00a0Gregg, 58, had a super-short Strictly Come Dancing stay – and was booted off in the first week back in 2014.<\/p>\n

Recently we reported the biggest Strictly feuds spanning the series – with Gregg's experience with Russian pro Aliona Vilani, 39, making the list.<\/p>\n
At the time of his exit, he took a bitter jibe at the dancer and said: "I love dancing, but if I were paired with somebody who liked me then I would have done better."<\/p>\n
Gregg, who performed a Charleston in a chef's outfit, has now opened up on the health issues he faced while training.<\/p>\n
The BBC star opened up to The Mirror's Men In Mind podcast and said: "I was having a really tough time I was really, really stressed\u2026 so badly that the side of my face broke out into a rash, like cold sores."<\/p>\n
The ordinarily-bubbly star even called on his therapist for some last minute help on the night he was due to dance.<\/p>\n He added: "I said, 'Are you free? Can you come and help me?' <\/p>\n "She jumped in the car, came into my dressing room and had me in floods of tears. But I went out and danced."<\/p>\n The star finished in 14th position, with the eventual winner the late TV presenter Caroline Flack.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n He added how he continues to work with his therapist to address issues of "self doubt" and "low self esteem."<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the spat must have spurred Russian pro Aliona on as the following year, she lifted the Glitter Ball with The Wanted star\u00a0Jay McGuinness, before she quit the show completely.<\/p>\n In a telly switch earlier this year, Gregg was replaced on hit show Inside The Factory.<\/p>\n Broadcast magazine has reported that former\u00a0Take Me Out\u00a0host\u00a0Paddy McGuinness\u00a0is in 'pole position' to take over the role.<\/p>\n Back in March,\u00a0Masterchef\u00a0judge Gregg said he had\u00a0decided to step back\u00a0from presenting\u00a0the\u00a0BBC\u00a0series to focus on his autistic son, Sid.<\/p>\n But then in May, it was reported that the real reason\u00a0Gregg stood down from his role was because he had\u00a0'offended female staff' with 'inappropriate banter'\u00a0at one of the factories.<\/p>\n Back on MasterChef, he refused to tuck into one contestant's dish because it was "raw."<\/p>\n<\/picture>STRICT SECRET <\/span><\/p>\n
