The birthday celebration comes days after Lisa heaped praise on her husband John when she marked Valentine's Day.
Alongside a photo from their wedding day, she gushed: "Happy valentines my true love. I love that we always have something to chat about. I love every day with you. In fact I love you with all of my heart @johntorodecooks." To which, the TV chef replied: "I bloody love you my Lisa x."
The couple, who co-host ITV's cooking show John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen, got together shortly after meeting on Masterchef in 2010. Following their engagement at the end of 2018, the lovebirds said 'I do' in October 2019.
