MasterChef’s Gregg Wallace, 59, beams in Easter snap with wife Anne-Marie, 37, after their autistic son hits milestone
GREGG Wallace and his wife Anne-Marie Sterpini looked loved up as they enjoyed the Easter weekend together.
The MasterChef judge took a break from the kitchen and tucked into a roast made by Anne-Marie, who goes by Anna.
Proud of her skills, he shared a reel of her pouring lashings of gravy over the lamb and even popped a fluffy chick on his potatoes.
“Happy Easter,” he wrote in the caption with flowers, chick and bunny emojis.
Gregg met caterer Anna, 37, in 2013 when she tweeted him to ask if rhubarb could really be served with duck.
The pair wed at Hever Castle in Kent and Sid was born in 2019.
Sid, who has been non-verbal since birth, took a huge step and spoke his first words last month.
Just last year Gregg told The Sun he feared the youngster might never be able to speak and that he has had to find other ways to communicate with his youngest.
But he was bursting with pride as he shared the video of Sid engrossed in a number game.
“Sid is counting! It’s his first words!” the foodie wrote alongside the video.
A delighted Anna also shared the clip, writing: “The best Mother’s Day present I could ever have.
“This little boy has made me the happiest I could ever be. I am so proud of him. This is Sid and his voice.”

Sid was diagnosed with autism in 2022, which Gregg admitted that he struggled with.
Speaking about the difficulties that come with that, Gregg said last year: “The biggest challenge is… they’re fears more than anything else. If he’s upset or he’s unwell, at the moment, he can’t tell us, and I’m not sure how he would communicate that to us.”
In January, Gregg said his Italian wife was the glue that holds the family together in tough times.
The TV host, who is also dad to Tom, 29, and 27-year-old Libby, says: “Anna is very quiet and unassuming, but the whole family revolves around that young woman.
“She’s had three operations on her stomach, including a hysterectomy at 33, and had to use a colostomy bag for a year.
“She’s got an autistic little boy, she’s just lost her dad, she’s got grown-up stepchildren and a workaholic husband.
“That girl is an absolute pillar of strength and I have nothing but admiration for her.”
