Massimo and Rina have been living together with Gregg and his wife Annie-Marie since 2018. The house got a bit more full when new baby Sid was welcomed into the world one year later.
Fans of the presenter were quick to take to the comments section to offer their words of support to Gregg and his family. One user simply wrote: "Thinking of you all," before ending their post with a heart emoji.
A second fan commented: "My thoughts are with your wife and mother in law and you and all the family and friends at a very sad and heart breaking time. May he rest in paradise and shine bright in your hearts always."
Whilst a third account posted to Gregg's comments: "Another taken too soon. Sending heart felt condolences to you all at this sad time," which was followed with a kiss.
Gregg has been going strong with wife Annie-Marie after they got engaged in 2014 after meeting just one year prior. The pair officially tied the knot at a lavish ceremony at Hever Castle in Kent in August 2016.
Two years after getting hitched, Gregg had revealed that in-laws Massimo and Rina had come to live with the pair. Joking to the Daily Star at the time, Wallace said: "Anne can't leave me because mum would have to leave as well.
"For an insecure old man with a younger woman, that's good news."
