TV chef John Torode once 'petrified' his wife Lisa Faulkner when they first crossed paths on Celebrity MasterChef.
Fans of the 'power couple' will be aware of the popular cooking show, John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen on ITV - but viewers might not be aware of when the showbiz couple originally met.
The two have MasterChef to thank for bringing them together in 2010 when contestant Lisa cooked up a storm and dished it up for Judge John to try reports the Mirror.
At the time, both stars were in other relationships and formed a friendship - with Lisa insisting there were no romantic feelings between the pair.
However, a few years later when the pair were both single, John asked Lisa out on a date and the pair realised they had a burning chemistry.
In 2019, they tied the knot and the rest is history.
However, both John and Lisa were married in the past, with actress Lisa previously married to Chris Coghill - who starred as Tony King in Eastenders.
Meanwhile, Australian-British chef John married the mother to his two kids, Jessica, in 2000.
John and Jessica parted ways in 2011 but they didn't initially divorce until 2014, when their union was reportedly dissolved in a matter of seconds at the High Court.
In 2010, John was introduced to Lisa when she was a contestant on the show and the pair hit it off immediately, remaining friends after filming.
"He was a judge on a show I loved and I was petrified of him. He was brilliant and gave us all tips so you didn't want to let him down," Lisa previously said. "All I could think was, 'That sauce hasn't worked'. I didn't see anything but food for three months. After I won, we did The Good Food Show and stuff. John and I always got on, but I never thought about me and him."
