Lisa Faulkner, the actor and wife of former MasterChef host John Torode, has admitted she does not pay attention to media coverage about their relationship, in an interview conducted before the host was fired from the BBC.
Torode was dropped from the popular cooking show earlier this week after a claim he had “used an extremely offensive racist term” was upheld in an investigation that also saw 45 complaints of inappropriate behaviour substantiated against his co-host Gregg Wallace.
