Gregg Wallace wants to own some pet pigs.
The 51-year-old presenter is set to marry his fiancée Anne-Marie Sterpini, 29, later this year and is hoping they'll be able to splash out on a new home by the end of 2017 as they want to have a field of little piglets roaming around.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: "I might move house next year. I fancy some land, I don't need a bigger house, just land so I can grow vegetables and pigs. Anna said she will have a go at making her own charcuterie.
I like the idea of having them and eating them. Anna likes the idea of having them as pets. We won't have pigs until we move house, but we might not have them, who knows."
But, for now, the couple are focusing on the preparation of their big day and are looking forward to having their friends and family around them as they exchange vows.
He said: "I have set a wedding date. I have a location but it's a secret. I don't think my mother is a happy flyer, so wherever it would be we would have to get her there by ship. I think if you are frightened of flying, which I am, leaving from somewhere called 'Terminal' scares me."

Nathan Henry is a "psycho" lover.
The 'Geordie Shore' star has admitted he is "crazy" in love with his boyfriend Craig Richards, so much so that he keeps a strict tab on him, including the number of followers he has on his social media sites - although he revealed it is out of love more than being "controlling."
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he explained: "I put my hands up now, I am a psycho. I've been telling you the stuff I go through with my boyfriend and I think I am a little bit crazy. I know exactly how many Instagram followers he has, I know exactly how many likes each photo has, I know if anyone new talks to him. I just know things in general. I know his whereabouts - I know where he is now. Not in a bad way, I don't have controlling issues.
"I'm not a full on psycho, I do it because I love him, it comes from a place of love, not a place of hate."
The 25-year-old star kept his sexuality a secret from his cast members until he shot the latest series of the show in Greece because he didn't want to keep up a false heterosexual "bravado".
He said: "My family knew before Greece but these lot knew in Greece. It is something, as I've said before, it is easy for someone to sit there and go 'He's gay', and yes that person might be, but until that person ready to turn around and say to you, then what gives anyone else the right to say they should be objectified to what you're saying they are.
"It was my decision to come out in Greece and I'm happy I did it. I think it was because you were all talking about pulling girls and I was like 'Look, I can't even be arsed with this bravado anymore. I can't sit there and pretend that I want to pull a girl - that's the last thing I want to do. I'd rather suck on a d***. I was like 'I'm gay.' And then after that it's like I was just being myself and I enjoyed myself more.
"At the start of Greece I didn't really enjoy it but after I came out I loved my time and I didn't want it to end. I just wished I did it in the beginning."
'Geordie Shore' series 12 will hit screens tonight (15.03.16) on MTV at 10pm.

'Coronation Street's Lucy Fallon is dating again.
The 20-year-old star - who plays Bethany Platt in the long-running soap - only split from her long-term boyfriend Ryan Roberts three weeks ago but it seems she isn't wasting any time finding love again as she's now romancing Tom Leech.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Lucy [has had] loads of offers from people in the business at parties and showbiz bashes but she loves down-to-earth lads who like the same films and the same music as her. Tom is a well educated fella. He's got a degree from Manchester University but is pretty private. He knows that he'll be in the spotlight now he is dating Lucy but he reckons that is a price worth paying for going out with one of the hottest girls on the telly."
And the blonde beauty has seemingly wasted no time rubbing salt in the wound as she took to her social networking sites over the weekend to share a shot of her cosying up to her new beau as she planted a kiss on his head.
Meanwhile, news Lucy has jumped straight into another relationship will no doubt come as a shock to Ryan, whom she dated for three years, as they initially split due to her busy career.
A source said recently: "The reality is that she works massively long hours and then there are a lot of awards ceremonies and other bashes to go to and Ryan is quite a shy bloke and wasn't into the whole celebrity circuit thing."

Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell are both attending counselling to tackle their "insecurities".
The reality TV stars, who met on 'Celebrity Big Brother' earlier this year, have been involved in a dramatically turbulent love affair in recent weeks and have now turned to professional advice in a bid to rescue their burgeoning romance.
Asked how they plan to progress their relationship, Stephanie said: "I'm going to continue getting counselling for my own insecurities and Jeremy is going to start to see someone, too. He understands now that he needs professional help to get his emotions under control."
And Jeremy - who romped with two women behind the actress' back last month - believes he will benefit from discussing his feelings of inadequacy with an expert.
He told OK! magazine: "I do need some help. I slept with other girls because of my own insecurities, but I'm getting therapy now.
"It will also help me to deal with my fear of people leaving me. I don't want those thoughts to ruin things with Steph. We have been talking about having some couples' therapy together, too."
Despite the on/off nature of their relationship, the 22-year-old beauty, who dumped the hunk last week before forgiving him a few days later, insisted she is committed to Jeremy for the long term.
She added: "I've told Jeremy he needs to stop thinking I'll leave him, he's stuck with me! Hopefully getting some counselling will help."

'Emmerdale's Danny Miller is petrified he'll get axed this year.
The handsome actor - who is known for playing gentle giant Aaron Livesy in the long-running soap - has admitted he and his cast mates are worried new head producer Ian McLeod, who recently took the reigns from Kate Oates, will start laying off people and changing the running order too much on set.
Danny, 25, explained: "It's a bit like football - when the new producer come in and have their own ideas of how they want to play and have their idea of who are the star players.
"Although your previous boss has said 'You're part of the plans', the new boss could come in and say, 'You're not my kind of actor, you're out of here.'
Everybody panics because you don't know what they want to do and if you have had loads of storylines you fear they might not want to use you as such, and it's always interesting to see what they bring to the show."
However, Danny - who rejoined the show in 2014 after two years out - thinks it's a good thing that no one's job is safe.
Speaking on the radio show talkSPORT 'Extra Time', he said: "But I think it's healthy to worry about it. If you felt you were safe for the next 10 years it's a false feeling and a dangerous feeling. You're setting yourself up for a downfall."

Danny Dyer's wedding will feature "bouncy castles and magicians".
The 'EastEnders' actor is set to marry his childhood sweetheart Joanne Mas later this year and, although it's meant to be about them becoming husband and wife, they are pulling out all the stops to ensure their children - Danni, 19, Sunnie, nine, and Arty, three - have a good time too.
Speaking about their Big Day, Joanne explained: "It will be child-orientated with bouncy castles and magicians and I am trying to get the funfair to come in."
The brunette beauty - who has been put in charge of the arrangements - is also keen to incorporate some of her upbringing in the wedding and has decided there will be a slight Spanish theme running throughout.
Joanne - whose father is from Majorca, Spain - told HELLO! magazine: "There will be a Gypsy-type band, flamenco dancers, tapas, paella and sangria - and I am still working on Julio Iglesias! It's a celebration for everyone who has stuck by us through the highs and lows."
But, despite her love for the Balearic Island, Joanne is happy to accommodate some of Danny's Cockney quirks as well by playing the anthem of his favourite football team, West Ham United.
She added: "He is the most Cockney person I have ever met, but I don't want him to come dressed as a pearly king.
"But I may get some bubble machines and insist everyone sings 'I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles'."

Megan McKenna made an explosive entrance on 'The Only Way is Essex' last night (13.02.16).
The former 'Ex on the Beach' star, who made her debut guest appearance on the show's 200th episode, certainly made her mark as she found herself embroiled in a bitter row with Danielle Armstrong when she jumped to the defence of her friend Courtney Green following the brunette beauty's rumoured romance with ex-lover James 'Lockie' Lock.
Speaking to the blonde bombshell, who is still dealing with her broken heart, she said: "Too many people are jumping on the bandwagon. It is your issue you should sort out the issue."
But Megan wasn't the only one poking her nose into a situation that doesn't involve her as mother-of-one Chloe Sims then locked horns with the former 'Celebrity Big Brother' star at Lydia Bright and James 'Arg' Argent's 1920s party over her explosive row with Danielle just hours earlier.
Meanwhile, Megan - who is known for her wild outbursts - may be keen to shake things up on the Essex scene between the girls but it seems she's also got her eye on Pete Wicks.
Speaking to Courtney, she said of the heavily-inked hunk: "I haven't felt this way, I'm excited and he's a really good kisser. Really good, like sexual. He's a gentleman."

EastEnders' Phil Mitchell is set to fall back into the arms of his recovering alcoholic lover Lorna Cartwright this week.
The boozy business owner - portrayed by Steve McFadden - will be given a wake-up call when his former flame (Janet Dibley) returns to Walford, 18 years after she turned her back on Albert Square, and falls back into his arms after they bump into one another at an Alcohol Anonymous (AA) meeting.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Lorna was a great character and viewers loved her, especially her chemistry with Phil. No one wanted Janet to leave in 1998 and now the chance to get her back full-time will not be missed."
But Lorna's return couldn't have come at a worse time as Phil, who is battling with Cirrhosis of the liver, has just managed to rekindle his romance with Shirley Carter (Linda Henry).
Phil and Lorna got together in 1997 after they embarked on a steamy affair while the former mechanic was still married to Cathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth).
Meanwhile, although some familiar faces are making a reappearance, some well-loved characters will be departing the soap over the next coming months.
Maddy Hill - known for playing mouthy barmaid Nancy Carter - will be turning her back on the show to try other things.
The blonde beauty - who joined the programme in 2014 - said: "It was time for Nancy to take a break from her family and me from 'EastEnders' after a wonderful time."

Chris Evans thinks it was "unwise" to shoot the new series of 'Top Gear' near the Cenotaph in central London.
The 49-year-old co-host has apologised "unreservedly" after images of Matt LeBlanc whizzing around Westminster, leaving tyre marks on streets surrounding the war memorial, were released over the weekend.
Speaking about the stunt on his BBC Radio 2 show today (14.02.16), Chris explained: "It doesn't matter what actually happened, it doesn't matter what the circumstances were that could explain this away, what is important about this is what these images look like and they look entirely disrespectful which is not and would never be the intention of the 'Top Gear' team or Matt.
"On behalf of the 'Top Gear' team and Matt, I would like to apologise unreservedly for what these images seem to portray. There have been some very incendiary comments written alongside these pictures and I completely understand this furore but the 'Top Gear' team would never ever do that. Retrospectively it was unwise to be anywhere near the Cenotaph with this motor car."
The former 'Friends' actor, 48, sparked uproar when he was seen hopping into a lavish Hoonicorn in Central London and raced alongside racing driver Ken Block before disrupting a wedding held at St Paul's Cathedral.
The stunt was branded "disrespectful" by retired Colonel Richard Kemp and he claimed sacked host Jeremy Clarkson, who was dropped last year following a filming spat, would never have sunk so low for the show if he was still fronting the motoring programme.
He said: "This is a sacred tribute to millions of people who have done far more for their country than Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc ever will.
"Jeremy Clarkson was certainly no saint but I don't believe he would have ever performed a stunt in such bad taste."
'Top Gear' returns to screens on May 8.
