Before the final episode of the BBC show’s most recent series premiere, MasterChef host John Torode appeared to be having a quiet evening with his wife Lisa Faulkner.
Presenter John Torode was seen cooking a meal for his wife Lisa Faulkner in a video shared by her shortly before the final of MasterChef’s latest series aired earlier tonight. The episode saw the newest winner of the BBC show unveiled.
Shortly before the final was broadcast this evening, John’s wife Lisa, 53, shared footage of him in the kitchen with her followers. The video, shared on Instagram, showed John, 60, cooking a meal as they enjoyed an evening together.
Lisa posed the question, “What are you making?” I’m making a version of Pad Thai, John said. In the video that was posted tonight, he continued, “Crispy pork belly and chilli sauce, followed by seafood curry and rice.”

The latest series of MasterChef launched last month with John and Gregg Wallace, 60, as the judges. Gregg is said to have ‘silently disappeared’ during this week’s episodes.
Gregg announced last year that he would leave the show as a result of a misconduct investigation. He claimed, “It is entirely false that he engages in sexual harassment harassment,” as the time reported via a lawyer.
Then, earlier this year, production company Banijay said that Gregg’s position on the show had become “untenable” after allegations of inappropriate behaviour were upheld. Gregg, who apologised for “some” of his humour and language, had said in advance that the review “exonerates” him of “all the serious allegations which made headlines last year and finds [him] primarily guilty of inappropriate language between 2005 and 2018.”
Additionally, it was previously reported that John would not be able to renew his MasterChef contract. According to Bijay, a firm’s investigation into his Gregg’s behavior “substantiated an accusation of highly offensive racist language against” his co-host John.
The BBC said John denied the allegation and he previously told fans in a statement: “I have no recollection of what I’m accused of.” John also said at the time: “Celebrity MasterChef, which I recently filmed with Grace Dent along with two fantastic Christmas specials will be my last.”
Earlier this month, it was announced that Grace and Anna Haugh will be the next MasterChef hosts. Chef Anna had already replaced Gregg at the end of the latest series, whilst food critic Grace was unveiled last year as a judge with John on the next series of Celebrity MasterChef.
