John Torode BBC Contract Ends Amid Racism Allegations, Wife Lisa Faulkner Comments

Lisa Faulkner and John Torode, who began their relationship after meeting on Celebrity MasterChef in 2010 and married in 2019, have shared insights about their marriage and professional partnership. Despite recent controversy surrounding Torode's dismissal from MasterChef over allegations of using a racist term—which he denies—the couple continue to work together on their ITV show John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen, which is set to continue airing. Faulkner expressed that she does not follow media coverage about their private lives and is puzzled by the public's interest, emphasizing their genuine, supportive relationship marked by kindness and respectful banter. Both maintain busy schedules with individual projects and value not being constantly together, which they believe helps sustain their relationship. John and Lisa have highlighted their enjoyment of working together without rehearsals, appreciating the naturalness of their dynamic. The couple's ability to balance personal and professional lives while facing public scrutiny has been a focus in recent interviews.
