Lisa Faulkner speaks out following John Torode's MasterChef sacking
Lisa Faulkner thanked fans for their support after her husband, John Torode, was sacked from MasterChef. Torode was dropped from the BBC cookery show after an allegation of him using an "extremely offensive racist term" was upheld by production company Banijay. Gregg Wallace, Torode's co-host, was also sacked following a seven-month investigation that substantiated 45 claims of misconduct against him. Wallace apologised for distress caused, stating his behaviour changed after 2018 and that a late autism diagnosis helped him understand his communication. Both Torode and Wallace expressed their feelings about leaving the show, with Torode mentioning focusing on other projects and Wallace criticising the BBC for "trial by media".

Woman stabbed to death in Romford linked to man who died on train tracks
A woman in her sixties found stabbed to death in Romford is believed by police to have known a man who died on railway tracks nearby just hours earlier. The Metropolitan Police was alerted to concerns for the welfare of a woman in east London on Sunday evening. Officers rushed to a home in Bushy Close at around 9pm. They found a woman in her sixties there who had suffered multiple stab wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene. The force said it was working with British Transport Police (BTP) following information that connects the woman's death to another death of a 20-year-old man on the train tracks at Romford railway station earlier on Sunday. Police said early inquiries indicated that the man and woman were known to each other. BTP is treating the man's death as non-suspicious. The Met said the woman's family had been notified and were being supported by specialist officers. Police said no arrests have been made and the investigation remains ongoing. Detective Chief Inspector Joanna Yorke, from the Met's specialist crime command, said: 'Our thoughts remain with the victim's family at this difficult time as we investigate the circumstances behind this terrible incident. 'At this stage, we believe this to be an isolated incident with no wider risk to the public.' Detective Superintendent Simon Giles, from the East area investigations team, added: 'I understand that the incident is distressing for the community and we are working closely with our colleagues in the Specialist Crime Command to progress the investigation as quickly as possible. 'Those in the area today can expect to see our officers and we encourage anyone with any information to speak with them.' Those with information can call 101, report online or contact 'X'@METCC quoting CAD6914/27JUL.

Tommy Robinson shouts 'he f***ing came at me, bruv' next to 'unconscious man' at St Pancras station
By MAILONLINE REPORTER Police have launched an investigation after a man was left unconscious at a busy London railway station last night. Paramedics rushed to St Pancras Station, in central London, at around 8.40pm and the man was taken to hospital with 'serious injuries'. Footage circulating online shows right-wing activist Tommy Robinson pacing back and forth beside the unresponsive man lying face-down on the floor. Robinson had earlier posted footage of himself handing out flyers inside the station for an upcoming 'free speech' protest on September 13. He later appeared to be walking in the background as security were called to help the unresponsive man. As stunned bystanders look on, one Good Samaritan can be heard urgently shouting: 'Can we get some help over here!' But Robinson, visibly agitated, throws his arms in the air before turning and walking away down a staircase, repeatedly protesting his innocence. 'He f***ing came at me, bruv,' he yells. 'He come at me bruv, you saw that.' The British Transport Police (BTP) has since launched an investigation into the alleged assault at around 8.40pm on Monday. 'Officers attended and a man was taken to hospital with serious injuries, which are not thought to be life threatening,' a BTP spokesperson told MailOnline. 'Overnight the investigation has been ongoing and officers have been making arrest enquiries.' The scuffle came just hours after Robinson posted a video to his X account, claiming he was in London preparing for what he called 'the biggest free speech event the world has ever seen.' In the clip, Robinson said: 'Today we have walked the route of our event on September 13, where we will be meeting at Waterloo Station.' He added: 'Make your plans. We are having a festival of fun, of British identity, of celebration of every single bit of it.' Despite his history of clashes with the law, Robinson claimed organisers had been 'working with the police' and described their approach as 'very cooperative', insisting: 'We have a good relationship with them, we want fun, they are not our enemy.' Robinson has become a lightning rod for controversy in recent years, often leading far-right rallies and protests across the UK. He was unable to attend his previous high-profile protest, 'Unite the Kingdom', last October after being remanded in custody. Union Jack-waving crowds gathered in Whitehall at the time, chanting 'Oh Tommy Tommy' and 'We want Starmer out' while demanding Robinson's release. Many demonstrators wore 'I am Peter Lynch' badges - a nod to the 61-year-old who died in prison after shouting abuse at riot police outside a hotel housing asylum seekers. Others waved flags reading: 'RIP Peter Lynch. Political prisoner.' Videos of Robinson were played out to the crowd, in which he railed against so-called two-tier policing and Ulez charges, as plumes of cannabis smoke drifted through the air. In October, Robinson was sentenced to 18 months in prison after breaching a High Court injunction from 2021 that barred him from repeating false claims about a Syrian refugee. He admitted 10 breaches of the order. In May, his sentence was reduced by four months by the High Court. Robinson, who was previously due to be released on July 26, applied to purge his contempt, with his lawyers telling the court he had shown a 'commitment' to comply with the order. The British Transport Police is urging witnesses or anyone with footage of the incident to text 61016 quoting reference 655 of 28 July.
