John Torode’s wife Lisa Faulkner showed her support to Grace Dent after she was announced as Gregg Wallace’s Celebrity MasterChef replacement.
The restaurant critic, 51, will be co-presenting the BBC show alongside John starting in 2025. This comes after Gregg – embroiled in an “inappropriate behaviour” scandal – stepped away from his role.
The BBC is equally thrilled to have Grace onboard, although she’s been a regular critic on MasterChef.

Her husband John Torode is as thrilled about working with the restaurant critic. The MasterChef host said: “I have loved working with Grace on MasterChef over the years. She has been an excellent guest, and an inspiring critic and also set some incredible challenges. Expertise is what MasterChef is all about, from the contestants to our wonderful production team, to us as judges.”
“The love of food, the love of MasterChef, and that unquestionable expertise make Grace the perfect person to step in alongside me as a judge for the forthcoming Celebrity MasterChef series.”
