Lisa Faulkner speaks out following John Torode’s MasterChef sacking
- Lisa Faulkner thanked fans for their support after her husband, John Torode, was sacked from MasterChef.
- Torode was dropped from the BBC cookery show after an allegation of him using an "extremely offensive racist term" was upheld by production company Banijay.
- Gregg Wallace, Torode's co-host, was also sacked following a seven-month investigation that substantiated 45 claims of misconduct against him.
- Wallace apologised for distress caused, stating his behaviour changed after 2018 and that a late autism diagnosis helped him understand his communication.
- Both Torode and Wallace expressed their feelings about leaving the show, with Torode mentioning focusing on other projects and Wallace criticising the BBC for "trial by media".
