Former MasterChef host John Torode has marked a special milestone with his wife, actress Lisa Faulkner, celebrating six years of marriage. The couple tied the knot in October 2019 at the picturesque Aynhoe Park in Banbury, and John shared a heartfelt tribute to Lisa on Instagram, calling her his “rock” and “best friend”.

A photograph from the wedding shows the pair standing together over their lavish cake, smiling broadly and waving to their guests. John wore a sharp black suit with a white shirt and dark tie, while Lisa looked radiant in a white lace gown with delicate detailing on the shoulders and neckline. Their top table was adorned with a crisp white cloth and a collection of colourful lit candlesticks.
Fans and fellow celebrities rushed to congratulate the couple. Lisa replied to John’s message with, “Happy anniversary my John. You make me smile every day. And I love you with all of my heart.” Other stars, including Ruth Langsford and Vicky Pattinson, joined the well-wishes, while followers expressed delight at seeing the couple so happy.
The couple first began dating in 2015 and chose to celebrate their union with a two-day country estate wedding in Northamptonshire. Guests included notable faces from acting and cooking, such as Angela Griffin, Nicola Stephenson, Gregg Wallace, and Amanda Holden. Lisa has described John as “like my best mate”, explaining that their relationship grew from friendship into romance through endless conversation and shared laughter.

Their anniversary comes after a challenging year, as John departed from MasterChef following an upheld allegation regarding the use of “an extremely offensive racist term”, which he says he has no recollection of. John addressed the controversy on Instagram, emphasising his love for the show and the time he spent hosting it, while noting it was “time to pass the cutlery to someone else”. Despite the difficulties, the couple’s celebration highlights their enduring bond, with their social media tributes reflecting a relationship built on friendship, love, and mutual support.
