MasterChef judge John Torode and his wife actress Lisa Faulkner have been enjoying a sunny holiday in Minorca and needles to say, John’s been enjoying the island’s great food.
“It’s so beautiful here,” she wrote on Instagram.
“We had a walk to the beach and there’s like a little pathway that you go to and it takes 15-20 minutes to get down to the beach.
“When we got to the beach it was just rocks and you have to go on your back and scooch into the water. It’s so beautiful and clear.”
Lisa starred in Celebrity MasterChef back in 2010 and won and went on to become a celebrity chef.
Five years later John decided to ask the star out and they’ve been together ever since.
