John Torode sells north London home for £1.8m after MasterChef exit John Torode has sold his north London home for £1.8m, 15 months after leaving MasterChef. The Muswell Hill house, where his YouTube cooking show is filmed, made nearly £600,000. John Torode has sold his north London home for £1.8 million, 15 months after he was axed as a judge on BBC's MasterChef. Torode, 61, and his wife Lisa Faulkner, 54, knocked £105,000 off the asking price to secure the deal on the five-bedroom house in Muswell Hill. Land Registry documents show the sale has now gone through for £1,795,000. The couple bought the end-of-terrace property for £1.2 million in 2015, meaning they are still set to make almost £600,000 on the deal.The house was used to film the pair's YouTube cooking show, John And Lisa's Kitchen And Home, which has accumulated more than 1.3 million views and 23,000 subscribers. Prospective buyers had been able to view the couple's kitchen in estate agent photos and on guided tours around the property.Muswell Hill home renovation detailsThe bespoke kitchen and diner, which leads to a south-facing garden, was central to the extensive renovation project the couple took on. The work also included the installation of designer bathroom suites and double-glazed timber sash windows.Torode and Faulkner transformed the three-floor property while managing to maintain its original Edwardian features. The five-bedroom residence also features a garden with a modern office at the end of the lawn.The couple married in 2019, having met on Celebrity MasterChef nine years earlier. They are understood to have put the house on the market earlier this year.Lisa Faulkner health updateFormer Holby City star Faulkner recently revealed she was using the peaceful surroundings of her garden to recover from an operation, having been diagnosed with breast cancer in April. She told The Times that she had been in a bubble with family and friends, sitting in the garden with Torode, doing word searches and puzzles.Faulkner said that in every situation there have been dark days, but the light has been quite amazing. She added that if you keep searching for the light, that is what you take from it. She also said she wanted to cook with Torode in their kitchen for YouTube and to act, and that if that were her life she would be very happy.MasterChef exit and new projectsThe move comes after Torode's lucrative 20-year stint on MasterChef came to an end. An allegation that he sang along to the Kanye West song Gold Digger, which included a racist word, at a 2019 wrap party was upheld. Torode insisted he could not remember the incident, but after an investigation by the BBC his contract was not renewed.His departure came days after fellow judge Gregg Wallace, 61, was sacked over unacceptable behaviour, which included claims he groped one MasterChef worker and pulled his trousers down in front of another. Torode and Wallace have now been replaced by broadcaster and restaurant critic Grace Dent and Irish chef and restaurateur Anna Haugh.Speaking in September, Torode admitted he was left stunned by his dismissal, having been informed by his agent while on holiday. He told The Telegraph the news was a shock and that he was devastated, adding that he had put his heart and soul into the show. He described the BBC as a machine that spat him out and said that in his entire time with the broadcaster nobody had ever told him he could not do something or that there was a problem.He also ruled out taking any potential legal action over his dismissal, saying that to get embroiled in further conflict would only do damage. Following his departure from MasterChef, the Australian chef remains a fixture on ITV's This Morning, fulfilling regular cooking segments.It is his YouTube show with Faulkner that is now Torode's main focus, after the pair launched the project in December last year. The couple create meals for everyday consumption and special occasions, dropping videos weekly on their channel.It is yet to be revealed how much money their new enterprise is making, but Torode's TV production company Caspar 10 had £47,351 in reserves when it last filed accounts, which covered 12 months up to the end of April 2025. His other company, food venture Mr Johns Limited, was £3,825 in the red in the 12 months up to the end of May 2025. Faulkner's TV business, Gigi Media Limited, held £564,796, according to the latest figures.
