Lisa Faulkner and John Torode got married in a star-studded ceremony in October, and the celebrity couple have been sharing some lovely photos from their wedding over the past few days. The reception sounded like a night to remember too, with John recently revealing that as well as his wife, he also enjoyed dancing with famous friend Amanda Holden. The star arrived at the wedding in crutches, but still managed to hit the dance floor with the happy couple – much to everyone's surprise! After the Heart Radio presenter shared a photo on Instagram from her friend's big day, John commented: "Loved our dance."

It is not known yet when Lisa and John will be going on their honeymoon, although they had to postpone it due to work commitments. On Tuesday evening, MasterChef judge John attended the Young Chef and Young Waiter Awards in central London to help present some of the prizes to the winners. The event has a special place in his heart as he has won the accolade himself in the past, which led to his successful career. While on stage, John's co-host joked that he had "sacrificed his honeymoon" to be there for the event.
