MasterChef presenter Gregg Wallace has announced that his wife Anna has given birth to a little boy.

The happy couple have named their new addition Sid.

The food critic also revealed that he celebrated the birth of his son by going out on the lash with his pals. Nicely done.

Speaking to OK! magazine, the 54-year-old said: "I hired a private dining room and ten close friends came, including John Torode.

Gregg Wallace said:

"We started at midday and finished at 10pm. The bill was well over £2,000!"

I bet being woken up by a crying baby in the early hours of the morning was a nice way to welcome that hangover.

Before you slate him, Gregg did add that if Anna hadn't 'been happy about it', he wouldn't have gone.

Speaking about the moment their 'miracle' baby was born, Gregg said: "I was far more scared this time than when I had Tom and Libby [his children from a previous marriage]."

Giving away more detail than any of us would ever wish to know, he continued: "I went down the business end and watched the doctors pull Sid out.

"I saw him take his first breath; it was just beautiful. I looked at him and thought he was perfect."

Nice to see the miracle of birth reduced to 'the business end', isn't it?

Gregg and 33-year-old Anna had been trying to conceive for two years and were about to go ahead and begin IVF when they found out she was pregnant.

"The doctor told us it was a miracle Anna was pregnant," he told the publication.

Speaking back in November, he said: "I've been scared and stressed since she fell pregnant but since we had the 12-week scan recently it feels joyous. Seeing a scan of our baby son and the strength of his heartbeat made me cry."

And also revealed the baby's name - Sid Massimo Wallace.

The MasterChef star said he celebrated the birth by going out and wetting the baby's head with his pals.

Gregg has said that little Sid is likely to be his last kid, because of the 22-year age gap between him and his missus.

He said: "Usually when you have a child, by the time they're 20 the parents get their life back a bit, but I'll be in my 70s.

"So, we agreed; one child and she'd have some help here at home - so her mum and dad have moved down from Coventry and they share this house."

Sounds like they've got it all sorted.

Congratulations, guys.
