Channel 4 fans fume as Gregg Wallace ‘ends career’ after eating ‘human meat’

Gregg Wallace sparked outrage among Channel 4 viewers on Monday night, with many threatening to “complain to Ofcom”.

The show titled Miracle Meat saw Gregg investigating a controversial new lab-grown meat product that its makers claimed could provide a solution to the cost-of-living crisis.

Opening the programme, Gregg began: “The cost-of-living crisis is hitting Britain hard with food prices rising at the fastest rate in 40 years.

“But now a new line of affordable protein is hitting our shelves… this is engineered human meat.

“That’s right, a protein made from human cells that promises to be cheaper and tastier than any of its competitors.”
