John Torode is not one to hold back on saying what he does and doesn’t like about the cooking on MasterChef.
But the straight-talking Aussie chef has insisted he would never dare criticise girlfriend Lisa Faulkner’s cooking.
John said: “Can you imagine me going to somebody’s house, or to Lisa, and saying, ‘Well I think this would work, maybe if you did this…’ That would be the rudest thing in the whole world.”
The couple met when Lisa won Celebrity MasterChef in 2010 and began dating in 2011, and John admitted he is really happy.
He said: “She’s such an amazing cook. She’s so great and so generous, and she’s pretty good-looking as well. The old man did all right!”
But one person they won’t be having round to dinner is John’s fellow MasterChef judge Gregg Wallace.
John said: “”We’re like an old married couple who travel away from each other all the time.
“We don’t really spend time together. I have no idea where he is when we’re not filming, we have very different lives, different tastes, we listen to different music, I’m cool and he’s a bit old and doddery…”
MasterChef returns to BBC One on Tuesday, March 10.
