A morning with the Wallaces is like partaking in a documentary on Britain’s Greatest Xmas Addicts with a near-constant stream of terrible jokes, writes @Damwhit 
The Masterchef star lives in a spacious home in Kent, set in six acres of woodland, with his wife Anna, their two-year-old son Sid, Gregg's grown up daughter Libby, and Anna's parents
Anna is Wallace’s fourth wife. They met through Twitter and married in 2016. John Torode, his MasterChef colleague, was best man
It was Wallace’s suggestion that Anna’s parents, Massimo and Rina Sterpini, moved in with them
“What we’ve done here is we’ve moved into the Sterpini Christmas, which is like Christmas on Viagra.
“It’s supercharged Christmas. It’s just incredible”

“People are always interested in the dynamic here: ‘You live with your in-laws?’ But there’s enough space here. And all they want to do is feed you and cuddle you. It’s amazing for everybody”
Over the past few years Wallace has lost a substantial amount of weight and keeps fit through a combination of better eating and drinking habits and relentless exercise
“I believe being good most of the time is good enough. There is no quick fix, and you shouldn’t diet...
“The three horsemen of the get-fat apocalypse are booze, snacks and takeaways. Cut them out”

“I’ve got a much younger wife. That she’s chosen to have an old husband doesn’t mean she has to have an old, fat husband”
At Christmas, though, it’s fine to indulge, he says

This Christmas, the Wallaces will enjoy a glass of sherry or whisky around 7am, then bacon sandwiches tide them over to lunch. This starts at 12-1pm
“Mate, I can’t have that lunch at three o’clock rubbish. What is all that about?”

This year the feast will be turkey, slow-cooked beef and a joint of ham.
