Gregg Wallace says he will stop presenting BBC show Inside The Factory after seven years to focus on his three-year-old autistic son.
The TV presenter, who will continue to judge MasterChef, has already filmed upcoming episodes of the factual programme which sees him delve into how goods are made. The 58-year-old told Gaby Roslin's show on BBC Radio London that he needs to step away from the show due to Sid, who is non-verbal in addition to his autism, needing additional support with education.
The former greengrocer said Sid is a "lovely, lovely little boy" with a "wonderful mother" but "it's not easy". He added that the show involves a lot of travelling away from his family as he visits factories across the country.
