‘We love food together, we cook, after six months of marriage you would hope so!’

The happy couple also discussed their unusual six-month anniversary as Lisa cleaned the house in her wedding dress and John donned his marital suit during lockdown.
Lisa said: ‘We decided to put our wedding gear on, I put my wedding dress on because I thought I’d never wear it again and six months in we had nothing else to do.
‘Then John came down in his outfit which I didn’t know he was doing to do, and we did our Instagram cook in our wedding gear.’

John replied: ‘It was that time when everyone was feeling a bit naff, so we thought it would be nice to give something back, so we thought why not have a bit of fun and make everybody smile.’
The pair have been filming at home for their series John and Lisa’s Weekend Kitchen.
The cooking show, airing on Sundays, has been filmed at the couple’s home in north London.
Lisa said: ‘We do forget the cameras are on us because we just chat.
‘We did our own hair and makeup, nobody could go near us if we were on set, everything had to be done very quietly and very softly, it was difficult but we did it.’
