Gregg and wife Anne-Marie Sterpin, 36, welcomed their boy into the world in 2019.

Sid, who was diagnosed with autism in 2022, spoke his first words last month.

The TV chef took to his page to share another milestone - counting to 10.

Sid sat on his grandma's lap while he counted and everyone listening cheered in the background when he completed the sequence.

Gregg captioned the post: "Sid & Nonna @ambitiousaboutautism."

Many rushed to the comments section to congratulate the young boy with his achievement.

One wrote: "Aww well done Sid. You are a star."

Another added: "Go Sid, you’re doing great."

"I love this it brings joy to my heart ❤️ well done Sid ! My grandson is 7 and non verbal we still keep fingers crossed he will speak one day ????x," a third chimed in.

A fourth commented: "Omg, so amazing to hear him, im crying again, my heart is brusting with pride, and i dont even know you, @greggawallace. Well done, Sid. I pray for our day soon xx."

In March Gregg revealed that Sid had spoken his first words.

Gregg shared a video of the huge milestone and proudly told his fans: “Sid is counting! It's his first words!”

A delighted Anna also shared the clip, writing: “The best Mother's Day present I could ever have.

In November last year Gregg told The Sun that Sid was non-verbal at the time, and shared his worries that he may not be able to speak.

Greg told us: "The biggest challenge is... they're fears more than anything else.

"If he's upset or he's unwell, at the moment, he can't tell us, and I'm not sure how he would communicate that to us.

"He started school and, of course, you can't say 'are you making friends?'

"So all you've got is him skipping into school and looking forward going into school."

Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition that impacts people socially and developmentally in a myriad of ways.

We're not looking to cure our little boy, we're looking to understand him more

Back in January Gregg shared that Sid was making huge progress after a special family Christmas.

Speaking on ITV's Lorraine about Sid's development since starting at a special needs school in the autumn, Gregg said: "He, for the first time ever, opened his presents properly and played with his presents and interacted with the family, so a shout out for his school, Five Acre Wood, a special needs school in Kent where we live.

"They've done a great job with him so we can see massive progress with him. He's a good boy."

Gregg then added: "I've just got to say, we're not looking to cure our little boy, we're looking to understand him more and give him the best opportunity we can."

Gregg and Anne-Marie met in 2013 and tied the knot in 2016.

The TV star has been married three times before Anne-Marie.

He is also dad to Tom and Libby, who he shares with his ex wife Denise.
