Gregg Wallace has made a short film to highlight the plight of low-income families with a disabled or ill child - after discovering that his own son is autistic.
The MasterChef star, 57, says he was “just staggered” to discover how the cost of living crisis is stretching already tight budgets to breaking point.
He has joined forces with food company McCain and national charity Family Fund after his own three-year-old Sid, who is non-verbal, was recently diagnosed with autism.
