Gregg Wallace supported by wife in first photo since misconduct scandal
It seems the pair are going strong.
Gregg Wallace and his wife Anne-Marie Sterpini are seemingly putting on a united front as he posted a photo of her for the first time since the former MasterChef presenter faced misconduct allegations.
Late last year, Wallace, 60, stepped back from the show following a number of complaints and accusations made against him, which he has denied.
Chef Anna Haugh stepped in to finish filming for a new series alongside John Torode.
As the controversy continues to unfold, Wallace shared a post on social media, posting a cheerful picture with his wife.
He wrote alongside the photo: ‘Eat well, live well, look after yourself. Get a little more active. Learn about nutrition. Learn to take care of yourself.’
Wallace later posted a link to his health page that contained tips on how to maintain a healthjy lifestyle, but it was soon removed for unknown reasons.
He then shared another image of his wife, accompanied by a similar caption.
Wallace and his wife Sterpini – who is 20 years his junior – have been married since 2016.
At the time of their wedding, Wallace was 51 and Sterpini was 30.
The couple first met on Twitter in 2013, when she contacted him for recipe advice, asking whether rhubarb was a good choice to go with duck.
Folowing Wallace’s response, they arranged to meet for dinner.
He later told Hello! magazine: ‘I just looked at Anna’s photo and thought, “Wow, she’s pretty”, so yes, rhubarb, which was considered an aphrodisiac in medieval times, brought us together.’

Since the allegations arose, he has not posted much of his wife, leading many to speculate on their relationship status.
Last year, news of the alleged misconduct from Wallace shocked the country.
It was alleged he made ‘inappropriate sexual jokes’ and lewd comments on set, asked for the phone numbers of female members of production staff, and undressed in front of and standing ‘too close’ to women working on his shows.
He has also been accused of groping three people in different incidents, ‘mimicking sex acts’ and walking around the studio almost ‘completely naked’, with more than 13 people across a range of shows over a 17-year-period making complaints.
