John Torode and his wife Lisa Faulker have revealed what they eat in a day. 

The former MasterChef host, 60, and the Holby City star, 53, who have been married since 2019, are passionate foodies and keep their diets 'as varied as possible'.

Showing Closer readers inside their fridge, Lisa explained they try to keep breakfast simple with overnight oats with apple and blueberries.

John usually opts for a homemade kefir with greens or a boiled egg on toast. The pair also always have homemade granola on hand, usually with yoghurt. 

They usually stick to leftovers for lunch because they always have a lot to choose from. Dinner also changes regularly but the couple cited roast chicken as one of their favourites. 

The pair always keep a bottle of fizz to hand 'for good news' and they also keep the cupboard well stocked with snacks like cheese straws from M&S and chocolate.

Other items found in the Torode-Faulkner fridge include kimchi, pickled gherkins, sauerkraut, brie, almond milk, chocolate oat milk, dijon mustard and satsumas. 

It comes after Lisa and John's ITV cookery show Weekend Kitchen is reportedly set to axed, despite the broadcaster's vow to stand by the sacked MasterChef star.

The chef was fired by the BBC earlier this year after an allegation emerged he had used 'extremely offensive racist language in 2018', which he claims to have 'no recollection of'.

His exit came just weeks after co-star Gregg Wallace, 61, also got the boot over a series of allegations about his sexualised on-set behaviour.

But despite ITV previously throwing their support behind John, who has been married to Lisa since 2019 after meeting on Celebrity Masterchef, the prospect of their show, which debuted the same year as his wedding, continuing is said to be unlikely.

The final episode of the Weekend Kitchen's tenth series, a festive special aired last week.

A source said: 'John is facing a nervous wait about Weekend Kitchen but it's not looking good. The commissioning team have still not made a decision. Budgets are being slashed and the show is expensive to make'.

They told The Sun: 'It will be a major blow to John. He had a really tough time after being sacked from the BBC.

'He is pushing forward with Lisa and is working hard on a new YouTube cooking show which has been well-received'.

Daily Mail contacted John and Lisa's representatives for comment at the time. ITV declined to comment.

Earlier this month John revealed he had been having therapy to cope with the fallout of his sacking, which he said had taught him how to 'sit in his grief' and 'be real' instead of 'brave'.

In a post on writers' platform Substack, he wrote: 'Life has changed for ever for me and for those close to me. There is no sympathy searching here just honesty.'

He went on: 'Therapy over the past few months has entitled me to no longer "be brave" but instead be real.'

In his newsletter, John revealed that he was away working in Qatar – and described visiting the Grand Prix there as his first attempt at 'facing my grief alone', without his wife.
