Gregg Wallace has revealed he is set to become a grandfather for the first time.
The former MasterChef star, 61, shared a sonogram of his future granddaughter on Tuesday.
Alongside the image, posted on Instagram, he wrote: “Grandad. This is my granddaughter. I’m going to be a grandfather.”
Wallace has three children: son Tom, 32, and daughter Libby, 29, from his marriage to his second wife Denise Lovell, and seven-year-old Sid from his relationship with his current wife, Anne-Marie Sterpini.
Wallace did not say which of his older children is expecting the baby. He has been contacted for comment.
The TV chef is best known for being the former co-host and judge of BBC cooking show MasterChef, a job he held from 2005 to 2024.
It was announced in November 2024 that he would step away from his role while misconduct allegations were investigated.
He was sacked in July 2025 after a review upheld 45 of the 83 allegations against him, which mostly occurred between 2005 and 2018 and included one of “unwelcome physical contact”.
Wallace, who also co-presented the spin-off Celebrity MasterChef, issued an apology saying he was “deeply sorry for any distress caused” and that he “never set out to harm or humiliate”.He later sued the BBC and BBC Studios Distribution Limited for up to £10,000 in damages over allegations they failed to disclose his personal data, which caused him “distress and harassment”, but discontinued the High Court case earlier this year.
Wallace’s former co-host John Torode was also sacked from the BBC following allegations of using racist language, which were upheld as part of a report looking into Wallace’s behaviour.
The current hosts of MasterChef are food critic Grace Dent and chef Anna Haugh.
