Gregg Wallace's wife, Anne-Marie Sterpini, has been seen in public.
Sterpini was spotted for the first time since her MasterChef star husband was caught up in a misconduct investigation. She broke her public silence when she was spotted at a Kent service station on Monday, according to photos obtained by the Daily Mail.
Appearing alone and sombre, Anne-Marie quickly filled up her car while keeping her head down. She was dressed entirely in black, with a long puffer jacket covering her body.

Anne-Marie appeared to go fresh-faced and makeup free while her hair was worn in poker straight layers. She also wore thick-rimmed glasses on her face.
While Gregg has two older children from a previous relationship, he and Anna share four year old Sid. The couple tied the knot in 2016 after she reportedly messaged him on Twitter, questioning whether duck and rhubarb paired as well as he had suggested. Gregg has previously spoken about their romance, revealing that she gave him an ultimatum about starting a family.
"I fell madly in love with Anna. I had never met anybody like that," he gushed previously. "And we had a conversation early on where she said, 'You do realise that I'm gonna want to get married and have a baby. That's what I want'. And I answered, 'I wouldn't have chosen at my age to have a child. I was a single parent before."
"However, I perfectly understand your position as a young woman and I love you madly, so I'm more than happy. Let's have a child.'" MasterChef's Gregg Wallace explained how he let his heart lead when deciding to have a tot with younger wife Anna, despite initially preferring not to add to his brood due to his age, reports the Mirror.
To win the Missus over, who is 22 years his junior, Gregg even moved her parents into their swanky £1 million Kent pile. Chatting to The Sun about his bond with mother-in-law Rena, he said: "I love Rena - we have such a giggle. We are roughly the same age," adding, "Me and Rena remember the same TV shows and sing the same 1970s pop songs. Anna doesn't know what we are talking about. We were singing Boney M at breakfast this morning and Anna has no idea."
