MasterChef's John Torode has described his latest job as a 'dream come true'.
The cookery show judge will soon present a new programme on ITV with his wife Lisa Faulkner. Viewers will see the couple travel 500 miles along the coast of Western Australia.
Their adventure will take them from Perth to the Margaret River and into the Southern Forests as they search for the very best local food and wine.

According to BirminghamLive, John said: "To have this exciting opportunity to make a show exploring more of the incredible country I was born in, and to have my wife alongside me creating more memories and discovering Australia on every level, is an absolute dream come true."
Lisa added: "John often gets misty-eyed over Australia, so to understand that connection by revisiting the old and exploring the new together will just be magical. I can’t wait!"
John is a MasterChef judge alongside Gregg Wallace on BBC, but he is also a regular guest chef on the ITV daytime show, This Morning. He is also a judge on Celebrity Masterchef and co-hosts John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen on Saturday and Sunday mornings with his wife.
In 2012, Lisa’s first cookery book 'Recipes From My Mother For My Daughter' was published, and reached number one on The Times non-fiction list. Her subsequent cookbooks 'The Way I Cook', 'Tea and Cake', and 'From Mother to Mother', were also bestsellers.
The ITV programme will be a five-part series.
