John Torode’s wife Lisa Faulkner steps out for 1st time since ‘furious’ Gregg unfollowed her & his MasterChef co-host
LISA Faulkner has been seen for the first time since a furious Gregg Wallace unfollowed her and husband John Torode on social media.
John, 59, has remained silent since a flurry of allegations were made against his MasterChef co-host Gregg last week.
Gregg is understood to have been left angry at John's failure to speak out in his defence.
He has since unfollowed John and Lisa on Instagram in a public show of annoyance.
A source said: “Gregg is absolutely furious and is convinced he has done nothing wrong.
“Seeing John keeping quiet amid all of this has irked him hugely. Gregg and John have been colleagues for almost two decades and while they aren’t the closest of friends, Gregg feels John could say something.

“He has deleted them from his Instagram account now and unfollowed both of them.
“It might seem petty from Gregg but he is furious about how this has all played out."
The pair have hosted MasterChef together since 2005 and John was the best man at Gregg's wedding in 2016.
But he distanced himself from Gregg the following year and revealed: "It’s funny, we’ve never been friends."
It comes as a number of TV stars including including Sir Rod Stewart, Kirsty Wark and Ulrika Jonsson have made bombshell claims.
Embattled Gregg is facing a probe over alleged sexual comments made to 13 BBC colleagues.
He has stepped down from the popular cooking show while an investigation takes place.
But Gregg was slammed over a bizarre Instagram video posted on Sunday morning in which he blamed "middle-class women of a certain age" for making the complaints.
He apologised in a subsequent video on Monday.
