John Torode has sold his plush North London home for £1.8million, 15 months after he was axed as a judge on BBC's MasterChef.
The Daily Mail can reveal Torode, 61, and wife Lisa Faulkner, 54, knocked £105,000 off the asking price to secure the deal, but the couple are still set to make almost £600,000 after buying the smart end of terrace house in 2015 for £1.2 million.
The property has been used to film the pair's hit YouTube cooking show in recent years, titled John and Lisa's Kitchen and Home, which has accumulated more than 1.3 million views and 23,000 subscribers.
Prospective buyers had been able to view the couple's kitchen in estate agent pictures and on guided tours around the five-bedroom home in Muswell Hill, North London.
The bespoke kitchen and diner, which leads to a south-facing garden, was central to the extensive renovation project the couple took on after purchasing the property, which also included the installation of stunning designer bathroom suites and double-glazed timber sash windows.
Torode and Faulkner, who married in 2019 having met on Celebrity MasterChef nine years earlier, transformed the three-floor property while managing to maintain its original Edwardian features.

The five-bedroom residence also features a quaint garden with a modern office sitting at the end of the lawn.
Former Holby City star Faulkner recently revealed she was using the peaceful surroundings of her garden to recover from an operation, having been diagnosed with breast cancer in April.
Speaking to The Times, she said: 'I've been in a bubble with my family and friends, sitting in the garden with Johno, doing word searches and puzzles.
'In every situation that has happened [to us] there have been dark days, but the light has been quite amazing. And if you keep searching for the light, I think that's what you take from it.
'I said to Johno recently, 'All I want to do is cook with you in our kitchen for YouTube, and act, and if that is my life, I'll be so happy.'
The couple are understood to have put the home on the market in the spring this year, and Land Registry documents show the sale has now gone through for £1,795,000.
The move comes after Torode's lucrative 20-year stint on MasterChef came to end after an allegation he sang along to the Kanye West song Gold Digger, which included a racist word, at a 2019 wrap party was upheld.
Torode insisted he could not remember the incident, but after an investigation by the BBC, his contract was not renewed.
His departure came days after fellow judge Gregg Wallace, 61, was sacked over unacceptable behaviour which included claims he groped one MasterChef worker and pulled his trousers down in front of another.
Torode and Wallace fronted the show for 20 years and have now been replaced by Grace Dent and Anna Haugh.

Speaking in September, Torode admitted he was left stunned by his dismissal, having been informed of his sacking by his agent who called him while on holiday.
'It was a shock,' he told The Telegraph. 'The shutters closed around me and I was devastated, absolutely, completely devastated.
'I put my heart and soul into that thing. I really worked very, very hard.'
Torode described the BBC as 'a machine [that] spat me out', adding that in his entire time with the broadcaster 'nobody ever knocked on my door and said, 'You can't do this,' or 'This is a problem.' Never, ever, ever, ever, ever'.
He also ruled out taking any potential legal action over his dismissal.
'To get embroiled in further conflict would only do damage,' he said.
Following his departure from MasterChef, the Aussie chef remains a fixture on ITV's This Morning, fulfilling regular cooking segments.
But it's his YouTube show with wife Faulkner which is Torode's main focus, after the pair launched the project in December last year.
The couple create meals for everyday consumption and special occasions, dropping videos weekly on their channel.
It's yet to be revealed how much money their new enterprise is making, but Torode's TV production company Caspar 10 had £47,351 in reserves, when it last filed accounts which covered 12 months up to the end of April 2025.
His other company, food venture Mr Johns Limited, found itself £3,825 in the red in the 12 months up to the end of May 2025.

Meanwhile, Faulkner's TV business, Gigi Media Limited, held £564,796, according to the latest figures.
Torode and Faulkner were still married to their former partners when they first met on Celebrity MasterChef in 2009.
The Aussie was in a relationship with his second wife, Jessica, the mother of two of his four children. They split in 2011 after 11 years of marriage.
His two eldest children are from a relationship with former partner Angela.
Faulkner, meanwhile, is mother to her daughter Billie, whom she adopted with her former husband Chris Coghill in 2006. They split in 2011 after six years of marriage.
The actress had previously undergone four rounds of failed IVF treatment, several miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy.
