John Torode's wife Lisa Faulkner speaks out in emotional post amid Gregg Wallace MasterChef controversy

dailyrecord.co.uk:

John Torode's wife, Lisa Faulkner, has finally spoken out but it wasn't in response to the recent upheaval involving her husband's MasterChef co-host Gregg Wallace.

Breaking her online silence, Lisa shared an Instagram tribute not about the controversy but remembering her beloved 'Nanna', saying: "Happy heavenly birthday Nanna, miss you so much."Meanwhile, the storm continues as Wallace, embroiled in allegations of purported inappropriate conduct on the BBC show, has reportedly taken umbrage with both Lisa and John for their lack of public support.As accusations mount against him, the ex-grocer is said to be seething after unfollowing the couple on social media.

Allegedly stung by John's refusal to comment on the claims laid out by notable figures such as Sir Rod Stewart, Kirsty Wark, Charlotte Crosby, and Ulrika Jonsson, those close to Gregg suggest he feels betrayed, reports the Mirror.Wallace stands accused by 13 individuals of making sexually charged comments over a span of 17 years—a claim he fervently rejects through a statement made by his legal team.

With John opting for silence regarding the scandal, Wallace has dramatically severed his social media connection with both John and his spouse Lisa, following two decades as a MasterChef duo.
