Gregg Wallace 'in tears' over tense moment with wife: 'I was scared'

Former MasterChef host Gregg Wallace previously revealed his wife Anna had been advised to have a full hysterectomy just seven months after giving birth to the couple's first child together. The couple opened up about his other half having a C-section as he admitted one moment left him in tears. Anna had been told she needed a complete hysterectomy just seven months after welcoming their first child together back in 2019, after the pair celebrated the arrival of their son Sid in April. Having battled endometriosis since her teenage years, at just 33 years old, she planned to have a full hysterectomy due to how severe her condition has become. Speaking about their son's arrival, she told OK! magazine in 2019: "I had him at London's Portland hospital on April 29. I had an epidural and then an elected Caesaeran. It was all so quick and when I saw Sid I broke down in tears."

Gregg told the publication: "I was pleased Anna made that decision, as I was really worried about seeing my wife in pain for a long period of time. Whereas this was so quick, I knew everyone was ok in minutes. I was far more scared this time then when I had Tom and Libby. I don't know if it's because it took us long to conceive or perhaps it's because I'm older, but I was scared for their health. I could have hugged the doctors."

"My endometriosis, which I've suffered with all my adult life, returned severely after I had Sid. It's so bad I also have to have part of my intestine removed, as it has attacked my bowel too. It causes me a lot of pain. It's a big operation and I'll be in hospital for about ten days with three months recovery," Anna said.

Speaking about how her condition affects her everyday existence, she continues: "I'm on pain relief every day. After the operation, there's less chance of it coming back again.

I just want to get rid of it and recover. I've suffered since I was 16-years-old but it was years before I was properly diagnosed."

Medical professionals informed the pair, who first connected on Twitter in 2013 and have previously faced scrutiny over their 21-year age difference, that it was remarkable they managed to conceive Sid considering the severity of Anna's medical condition.

The mother-of-one reveals that welcoming her "miracle son" helped her come to terms with the forthcoming procedure.

The broadcaster, 59, often posts about his wife Anne, 37, and their son Sid, five, on social media and his eldest children Tom, 30, and Libby Wallace, 27, from a previous marriage, are occasionally referenced too.
