Gregg Wallace gave young wife a strict ultimatum after giving birth

Gregg Wallace reportedly gave his wife Anne-Marie an ultimatum when they decided to have a baby together.

The MasterChef star, who has stepped back from hosting the BBC cooking show, is facing historical misconduct allegations that are currently under external review.

Now, the TV personality is facing fresh claims of harassment, including touching a woman inappropriately at an event and pressing his crotch against another woman while filming another show. His lawyers previously stated that it is "entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature."

The presenters fourth wife, Anne-Marie Sterpini is standing by him in light of the allegations, reports the Mirror. The couple got married in 2016 after first interacting together on Twitter, and now share a four-year-old son together.

Gregg proclaimed that after three failed marriages, finding the "love of his life," Anne-Marie, felt like "winning the lottery."

Anne-Marie and Gregg have a 22-year-age gap, and an unusual living arrangement, as Anne-Maries parents live with the family of three.

Gregg issued his wife an ultimatum at the time, insisting the need for extra help around the house after she became a mother for the first time.

Gregg was reportedly eager to keep his wife as his "fun, sexy girlfriend" after motherhood and wanted to maintain the freshness of their relationship without letting parenthood get in the way.

As a result, Anne-Marie's parents moved in with the family of three to help care for their son, Sid.

Anne-Marie is yet to speak out about the scandal. She was spotted on Monday putting petrol in her car, as she kept her head down and looked extremely sombre.

Although, she flashed her wedding ring as the papped followed her after the news that MasterChef had been pulled of air.

It came just hours after it was revealed that the MasterChef Celebrity Christmas specials had been pulled from the BBC's schedule.

Gregg issued an apology on Monday for stating that complaints about his behaviour came from "a handful of middle-class women of a certain age," adding that he will now "take some time out."

Wallace’s lawyers previously told BBC News that: "it is entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature."
