Gregg Wallace has become a father for the third time.
The ‘MasterChef’ star and his wife Anne-Marie Wallace have welcomed their first child together, a baby boy named Sid, after years of fertility struggles.
Gregg – who already has Tom and Libby from his marriage to Denise Wallace – told OK! magazine: "I was far more scared this time than when I had Tom and Libby. I don’t know if it’s because it took us so long to conceive or perhaps it’s because I’m older, but I was scared for their health. I could have hugged the doctors.
"I went down the business end and watched the doctors pull Sid out. I saw him take his first breath, it was just beautiful. I looked at him and thought he was perfect."
Anne-Marie fell pregnant with their child last summer, shortly before the pair were due to start treatment to help them conceive after having spent years trying for a baby of their own.
When they announced they were expecting, 54-year-old Gregg said: "We were due to start IVF but then it happened naturally after two years of trying. The doctor told us it was a miracle Anna was pregnant."
The television personality isn’t likely to give Sid any younger siblings in the future though, as he’ll already be in his 70s when Sid is grown up and moving out of the family home.
He said: "Usually when you have a child, by the time they’re 20 the parents get their life back a bit, but I’ll be in my 70s.
"So, we agreed; one child and she’d have some help here at home – so her mum and dad have moved down from Coventry and they share this house."
