JOHN TORODE LISA FAULKNER MARRIES
AFTER MEETING ON ‘CELEBRITY MASTERCHEF’, JOHN TORODE AND LISA FAULKNER TIE THE KNOT SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS AND FAMILY
John Torode and Lisa Faulkner have wed in an intimate ceremony. The wedding took place at Banbury’s Aynhoe Park with the loved-up newlyweds strolling through the grounds after exchanging vows. Masterchef presenter John, 54, shared a wedding snap which he captioned: ‘Officially married the girl of my dreams.’ Lisa also uploaded a picture calling the day the ‘happiest’ of her life. While Lisa, 47, looked lovely in a high-necked lace gown, her smitten husband was dapper in a navy suit. Lisa’s close friend Amanda Holden, 48, was snapped hobbling into the event on crutches after breaking her leg in two places while on holiday recently. The Britain’s Got Talent judge revealed she suffered the injury while ‘showing off’ on an inflatable assault course, and styled out her cast in a pale pink midi dress and trainers.
Aynhoe Park was a stunning backdrop for the event, featuring taxidermy animals and a tower of espresso martinis as well as an oyster bar and a huge display of golden balloons. John and Lisa’s cake featured a marble design
interwoven with flowers and their initials. Guests included
Coronation Street star Charlie Condou and his husband Cameron Laux, as well as John’s Masterchef co-presenter Gregg Wallace and his wife Anne-marie Sterpini. Lisa’s friends Tamzin Outhwaite, Angela Griffin and Nicola Stephenson were also all on hand to wish the couple well.
Lisa and John have been dating since meeting on the set of
Celebrity Masterchef in 2015. They announced their engagement earlier this year after romantic John popped the question on Christmas Day.
Although they kept many of the details private in the run-up to their big day, Lisa previously revealed to
OK! that her 13 year old daughter Billie would be her ‘Best Woman’. ‘I don’t know if she’s going to do a speech, but she says she’ll surprise me, so we’ll see!’
