Lisa later found love with Australian chef John Torode, whom she met on Celebrity MasterChef. According to Radio Times, John wrote her a romantic note asking her out. "I was surprised," Lisa said. "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 married in 2019 at Aynhoe Park, Oxfordshire, and have presented shows together, including ITV's John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen.
