The presenter – who in the past has referred to himself as "the bald fat bloke off MasterChef"– posted a shirtless holiday snap on Wednesday morning, and it's gotten some of his fans and colleagues a bit hot under the collar.

It has to be said, despite earning his living eating glorious, Michelin starred food, Wallace is looking absolutely hench. And this did not go unnoticed by former MasterChef: The Professionals judge Michel Roux Jr, who sent a kissy face emoji his way in response.

Nor by the TV personality's followers, who were in awe of his physical transformation.

"This is what peak physical performance looks like," wrote @Jessie_8.

@Chris_Ashton1 added: "It's what Vladimir Putin would look like as a grocer".

And Wallace himself confirmed that he had "laid off the crumbles", in response to a joke from @JordanMirza.
