In the light-hearted video, the pair also shared some sweet memories from their getaway to Italy. "We went to Venice a couple of years ago and found these sandwiches, they were amazing", Lisa explained. "We sat in this tiny little café with blue plastic seats. It was just us and this elderly couple, and we asked for it and they smiled at us - they obviously knew we had come specially to get this sandwich!"
