Celebrity MasterChef is back for a landmark 19th season. John Torode is once again joined by hosting partner, Gregg Wallace as they prepare to put famous faces including Sugababes star Mutya Buena, Strictly pro Vito Coppola and This Morning presenter Craig Doyle, through their paces.
Like many successful chefs and restaurateurs, John takes no prisoners when it comes to his work in the kitchen, but it's clear the TV chef has a softer side when it comes to his family.
The 59-year-old is happily married to actress and fellow TV presenter Lisa Faulker, and together they present their own show, John & Lisa's Weekend Kitchen, where they serve up delicious recipe inspiration for viewers at home.

He's also a dad to Lou, 18, and Jonah, 20 from his marriage to Jessica Torode. They were married between 2000 and 2011 and finalised their divorce in 2014.
Lisa, meanwhile, is a mum to 16-year-old daughter Billie, whom she adopted with her ex Chris Coghill in 2006.
John doesn't often post photos of his children on social media and not a huge amount is known about them publicly. However, from the snaps that we have seen, his children are total lookalikes of him!

"What a wonderful 18-year-old you truly are! Clever, kind and brilliant. Love you, my little princess. Happy Birthday. Love you."
Lou looked lovely in her green floral dress with a celebratory cocktail in hand.

"What an amazing young man you are. Kind, fun, generous and loving but you still can't answer a phone and @jonah.torode I love you for all of it. Happy Happy Birthday."
