"I was surprised," the actress previously told Radio Times. "I knew we'd had a couple of nice times where we met, chatted, had fun and talked a lot. So we were friends, and it didn't come out of the blue, but I thought it was a very gentlemanly thing to do, a letter."

The couple, who co-host ITV's cooking show John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen, got engaged at the end of 2018, and they tied the knot on 24 October the following year.
Meanwhile, Lisa is a doting mum to her adopted daughter Billie, 14, and is a stepmum to the celebrity chef's four children from previous relationships.

In June, Lisa confessed that the "honeymoon phase" with husband John is still going strong - even during lockdown! Speaking to Radio Times, the actress gushed: "It's funny that nearly half of our marriage has been in lockdown. It's a good job I like him!"
She added: "I have to say, the novelty of calling him my husband hasn't worn off in any way. Sometimes he will say, 'You're my wife', and I think, 'Oh, that's so exciting.'"
