Impressed with the romantic post, birthday girl Lisa replied: "Thank you, my wonderful husband, I love you." The celebrations come shortly after the pair returned from their romantic getaway in Oxfordshire. Last week, the celebrity chef whisked his lovely wife away to celebrate Valentine's Day and her birthday – and made sure she was utterly spoilt. Lisa had written on social media: "Happy Vallys Day gorgeous!!! How I love you @johntorodecooks and how lucky I am to be married to my valentine #valentines #loveyou." [sic]

"Ten years ago today I won celebrity @masterchefuk and it completely changed my life," she told her followers. "So very grateful for the opportunities, can't believe how dishevelled I look in all the pics I could find #masterchef #followyourdreams."
