The 'Masterchef' star was rushed to hospital in London after a mystery Boxing Day (26.12.16) accident and although he is "very bruised", John's girlfriend Lisa Faulkner revealed he is now recovering at home.

She shared a message on Instagram, which read: "Thank you so very much to the lovely docs and nurses yesterday #stmaryshospitalpaddington for looking after my @johntorodecooks who is very bruised but doing well! #luckyescape #blessed (sic)."

And Lisa later followed it up with a tweet, saying: "Thank you for all your lovely get well wishes ! @JohnTorode1 is well and happy and sitting on the sofa and all is good (sic)."

The couple first met on 'Celebrity MasterChef' in 2010 and embarked on a relationship two-and-a-half years later.

And John, who enjoyed Christmas at Claridge's hotel in London with Lisa, previously insisted they never argue in the kitchen.

Asked how often he cooks, John said: "I cook every single day and I love it and that's what I do, it's what I'm really good at and I'm really happy doing it. My kids love the food and I love the food and Lisa and I like to cook together. It's good.

"We sort of just ... Things just sort of happen. I don't know, it just works, one night I might cook, one night she might or one night I might be doing salad and she might make something else. It just happens."
