One person wrote: “This is going to be so good, can’t wait.” Another exclaimed: “This is brilliant! Looking forward to the posts!” A third added: “Looking forward to trying some new recipes.”
Both members of the couple are known for their individual achievements, but since getting together, they have combined love and work to collaborate on some of their passion projects together.
John, 59, is best known for his role as a stern judge on MasterChef. Meanwhile Lisa, 52, is primarily an actress. She starred in several soaps over the years, including Holby City and Eastenders, and recently had a role BBC and HBO thriller The Girl Before.
The couple’s love story began after Lisa participated in Celebrity MasterChef in 2010, though their relationship was initially purely platonic.
John separated from his first wife Jessica in 2011. He later reached out to Lisa with a heartfelt letter, which ultimately led to their first date. Despite his self-confessed “cowardly” approach, which he took because he was too afraid to face Lisa’s rejection face-to-face, the move paid off and love soon blossomed between the pair.

They tied the knot in October 2019 and have since built a life filled with shared passions and projects. Their ITV show, John and Lisa’s Weekend Kitchen, has been a hit with audiences. They also recently released their debut joint cookbook.
According to John, their secret to a happy marriage is simple: a well-made bed and regular date nights. He added: “Honestly, the bedroom – having that sanctuary of a place to go to, I think that’s really important. And nice towels… Looking after yourself is as important as looking after each other.”
Lisa has also shared insights into their successful partnership, emphasizing the importance of balance in their relationship. She told Bella magazine: “John and I love working together. Different things work for different people, but I think the fact that we don’t work together all the time means that when we do, we have a nice time.
“We look after each other and we make sure we go on date nights or cook for each other. Both of us have always made the effort to listen, and we also like the same things, which helps.”
