Lisa Faulkner gave a rare insight into her marriage to MasterChef’s John Torode in a new interview on Monday.

The actress, presenter and television chef, 52, revealed the secret to their happy relationship after they wed in 2019.

The couple often work together and this year released their debut joint cookbook and continued to present their morning show John And Lisa’s Weekend Kitchen.

And Lisa has now told how the key to their union is that despite their shared projects they don’t actually work together too much.

She told Bella magazine: ‘John and I love working together. Different things work for different people but I think the fact that we don’t work together all the time means that when we do we have a nice time.

‘We look after each other and we make sure we go on date nights or cook for each other.

‘Both of us have always made the effort to listen and we also like the same things which helps.’

It comes after Lisa voiced her support for Grace Dent after she was named as Gregg Wallace’s MasterChef replacement.

Restaurant critic Grace, 51, is set to step in to judge the next series amid an external review into historical allegations of misconduct that have been made against Gregg.

Responding to a post by the BBC announced her appointment, Lisa replied with three ‘raising hands’ emojis and a heart, writing: ‘Go Grace!’

Grace previously appeared as a regular guest on MasterChef for over a decade and even competed on last year’s Battle of the Critics.

In a statement of his own, included in the post, Lisa’s husband John hailed his new co-host as the ‘perfect person to step in’ by his side.

He said: ‘I have loved working with Grace on MasterChef over the years. She has been an excellent guest, an inspiring critic and also set some incredible challenges.’

John continued: ‘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, makes Grace the perfect person to step in alongside me as judge for the forthcoming Celebrity MasterChef series.’

Gregg has faced a series of complaints about his alleged behaviour, including claims he made inappropriate s3xual jokes, shared intimate details of his s3x life and even walked around set n@ked except for a sock on his p3nis.

He also reportedly would take off his clothes in front of women on set, flirt with members of staff and has been accused of groping two crew members.

At least 13 women have made formal complaints about Gregg across five shows over a 17-year period, with more describing inappropriate experiences on social media since the scandal broke.

His lawyers have previously denied any allegations that he has engaged in behaviour that amounts to s3xual harassment.

The BBC previously cancelled two planned Christmas specials of MasterChef amid the publicity storm surrounding the presenter, as the show’s producers Banijay began an investigation.
