“I was far more scared this time than when I had Tom and Libby [Gregg’s children from his second marriage],” Gregg 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.”

Throughout the pregnancy, Gregg had been sharing pictures of glowing Anna on Instagram.

But, when Sid finally arrived, he revealed that he was there at the birth.

“I went down the business end and watched the doctors pull Sid out,” he said. “I saw him take his first breath, it was just beautiful. I looked at him and thought he was perfect.”

Anne-Marie fell pregnant with their child last summer, shortly before the pair were due to start treatment to help them conceive after having spent years trying for a baby of their own.

When they announced they were expecting, Gregg said: “We were due to start IVF but then it happened naturally after two years of trying. The doctor told us it was a miracle Anna was pregnant.”

After Anne-Marie gave birth to Sid, Gregg celebrated in style.

He revealed that he and 10 of his close pals – including Masterchef co-host John Torode – racked up a £2k bar bill during a 10-hour food and booze marathon.

Anne-Marie was resting after the birth with her parents.
