MasterChef judge John Torode is to support the British Heart Foundation by taking part in the charity's London to Brighton Bike Race for a second year.

He will be joined by Olympic rowing heroes Tom James MBE and Mark Hunter MBE in the 54 mile journey to Brighton's seafront in support of the fight against heart disease. Torode says 'I have always been aware of the importance of looking after one's heart but this year myself and my team will be riding for those close to us who have been affected by heart disease over the past 12 months'.
