John Torode\u2019s wife, Lisa Faulkner, has said she has undergone surgery after being diagnosed with the early stages of breast cancer.
The EastEnders and Holby City actress, 54, revealed on Thursday that she had the procedure two weeks ago and has since had the all clear from her doctors.<\/p>\n

Faulkner still needs to undergo radiotherapy, but reassured her 372,000 followers on Instagram that she is feeling better.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI had surgery two weeks ago, and it was quite a big op, but it\u2019s all good, and I\u2019ve had my results back, and they\u2019ve got everything out, and so it\u2019s all clear, and I just need now to have some radiotherapy in a few weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve still got quite a bit of healing to do, but I\u2019m good, I\u2019m well, and feeling so much better.\u201d<\/p>\n

She urged others to go for check-ups, adding that if she had not gone for her breast screening, the cancer would not have been picked up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so grateful that I went for my mammogram,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t put them off; go, because they found this and without that mammogram it wouldn\u2019t have been picked up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Faulkner ended her video by thanking the \u201cwonderful NHS\u201d for the scan and early treatment.<\/p>\n

The actress has four children and married the former MasterChef presenter in 2019.<\/p>\n

The news comes nearly a year after Torode was sacked from the cooking competition show after an allegation that he used \u201chighly offensive racist language\u201d was upheld in a review looking into his former co-presenter, Greg Wallace, who was also fired due to alleged misconduct.<\/p>\n
