Gregg Wallace is currently enjoying a romantic getaway in Venice, Italy, with his wife Anne-Marie Sterpini - who is 22 years his junior.
Celebrity MasterChef TV Presenter Gregg, 58, and his wife, Anne-Marie, 36, have been soaking up the sights of the historic Italian city in recent days.
TV favourite Gregg, who tied the knot with Anne-Marie back in 2016 after an unconventional love story, looked happier than ever as he was pictured enjoying the sights and all that Venice has to offer on his romantic getaway.
In particular, he looked in relaxed mode as he puffed on his cigar during a stop-off at a local cafe for an aperitif.
