MasterChef’s Gregg Wallace shares very rare snap of lookalike son as he celebrates milestone birthday
MASTERCHEF star Gregg Wallace left fans doing a double take as he shared a rare snap of his lookalike son Tom.
The BBC presenter, 59, posted a picture of his eldest child to mark his 30th birthday.
Gregg often shares an insight into his family life with wife Anne-Marie Sterpini, 37, and their son Sid, five.
But the TV chef also has son Tom, 30, and Libby Wallace, 27, from a previous marriage to his late ex-wife Denise.
Gregg was all smiles as he posed alongside Tom in a post to mark his milestone birthday.
He captioned it: “Happy 30th Birthday Tom Wallace. Very proud of you.”
The father and son duo seem to have a close bond with Gregg taking to social media to share many snaps of Tom in the past.
They previously spent some quality time together at Twickenham Stadium back in 2022.
Gregg has been open about his family life – including his son Sid, who has autism.
He previously said that the youngster said his first words at the age of four.
Gregg shared a video of the huge milestone and proudly told his fans: “Sid is counting! It’s his first words!”
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.”
In November last year Gregg told The Sun that Sid was non-verbal at the time, and shared his worries that he may not be able to speak.
Greg told us: “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.
“He started school and, of course, you can’t say ‘are you making friends?’
“So all you’ve got is him skipping into school and looking forward going into school.”
Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition that impacts people socially and developmentally in a myriad of ways.
Back in January Gregg shared that Sid was making huge progress after a special family Christmas.
Speaking on ITV‘s Lorraine about Sid’s development since starting at a special needs school in the autumn, Gregg said: “He, for the first time ever, opened his presents properly and played with his presents and interacted with the family, so a shout out for his school, Five Acre Wood, a special needs school in Kent where we live.
“They’ve done a great job with him so we can see massive progress with him. He’s a good boy.”
Gregg then added: “I’ve just got to say, we’re not looking to cure our little boy, we’re looking to understand him more and give him the best opportunity we can.”
Gregg and Anne-Marie met in 2013 and tied the knot in 2016.
The TV star has been married three times before Anne-Marie.
