Masterchef star Gregg Wallace has described the "just beautiful" moment he first laid eyes on his baby son.

The television personality has revealed details of the new arrival along with his wife Anna, 33.

The pair, who have reportedly been trying to conceive for years, have called their son Sid.

Sharing the news with OK! magazine, the 54-year-old said he was far more scared than during the births of his eldest children from his second marriage.

He said: “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."

He added: "I saw him take his first breath, it was just beautiful. I looked at him and thought he was perfect."

The new parents met on Twitter, when she asked the star for advice on a rhubarb recipe, something the Eat Well For Less presenter puts down to love being "a complete game of chance".

The food presenter, who lives in Biddenden but is originally from Whitstable, made headlines recently after fans spotted him leaving peculiar messages on his wife's Instagram account, asking her to "print" her photos.
