John Torode Makes First Public Appearance Since MasterChef Exit Amid Racism Allegations

News summary

John Torode made his first public appearance since being dismissed from MasterChef following allegations of using racist language, which he denies remembering. He appeared at the Festival of Food and Drink in Nottinghamshire, expressing gratitude for the support he has received and stating, "Life goes on." His wife, Lisa Faulkner, also attended and commented that MasterChef will not be the same without him, though he is "doing OK." John and co-host Gregg Wallace were both removed from the show amid separate controversies, with Wallace facing allegations of inappropriate conduct. The latest MasterChef season, filmed before these events, featured both men but with reduced screen time, and the show has since introduced new judges Grace Dent and Anna Haugh. Despite the controversies, Torode engaged warmly with fans during his cooking demonstrations but declined to comment directly on accusations or claims of being unfairly treated.
