John Torode in therapy after MasterChef sacking

John Torode, sacked after a BBC investigation upheld a racism complaint, has been in therapy and preparing new projects while reflecting on the past five months.

  • This year John Torode revealed he is in therapy after his BBC axe, saying professional sessions have helped him adjust five months after exit.
  • A BBC investigation upheld a complaint that John Torode used an 'extremely offensive racist term' while singing Kanye West's 'Gold Digger' in 2018, leading to his removal from MasterChef.
  • Travelling through Qatar helped Torode process the upheaval, he wrote, describing his 'well over 10,000km' journey and attending the Grand Prix in Qatar as 'facing my grief alone'.
  • The sacking terminated a 21-year MasterChef partnership after Gregg Wallace left amid forty-five allegations, and the BBC may still air unseen MasterChef episodes featuring John Torode and Wallace.
  • He is set to launch joint projects with his wife, including John and Lisa's Weeknight Meals and John and Lisa's Kitchen and Home filmed at their north London house, plus a crockery and cookware show due next year.
