She has a book out about her IVF journey, they're getting married so need to fund it presumably Grin
I don't watch much TV but I do like them.

W0rriedMum · 07/07/2019 11:06

^^ I mean fund the wedding, obviously not the IVF which is a separate story.
My point is that we've all got bills to pay!

They are infinitely more bearable than the talentless twist Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield who persist in inane chatter whilst stroking each other’s ego’s.

Disfordarkchocolate · 07/07/2019 11:14

I've never seen them together on the TV so they must be easy to avoid as I watch a lot of TV.

Mrsjayy · 07/07/2019 11:15

I quite like their Sunday kitchen programme better than Sunday brunch and Lisa has bee n on things promoting her book so is kinda everywhere but i find them inoffensive really.

Weezol · 07/07/2019 11:21

When I saw the trailer it reminded me that their relationship started as an affair. Not a fan.

ssd · 07/07/2019 11:34

Weezol, that's what puts me off. I googled his ex wife and Lisa looks like a younger thinner blonder version. So predictable.

Did they have an affair?

Soola · 07/07/2019 11:39

No they didn’t have an affair.

MeanMrMustardSeed · 07/07/2019 11:40

I agree op. Am in hospital and every time I turn on the tv they’re on!!

ChequerBoard · 07/07/2019 11:42

I don't mind them actually, they seem genuine as a couple and actually have talents (actor and chef). Much rather them than the witless and the vacuous types like Fearne McCann or the diabolically evil Gregg Wallace.

Toitoitoi · 07/07/2019 11:43

I always thought they had an affair. I remember feeling sorry for his wife and kids at the time. There was definitely a crossover.

I don't warm to Lisa at all.

tutu112 · 07/07/2019 11:44

I didn't know that! I like her, she seems quite down to earth and cooks stuff for real family life, not all that cheffy nonsense that no one in my family will eat. I made her easy raspberry jam yesterday. It's really good!

ChequerBoard · 07/07/2019 11:45

According to Wikipedia he separated from his first wife in 2011 and met Lisa in 2014 so can't see how there is overlap there?

PeonyPink0 · 07/07/2019 11:49

Have a wider google than Wikipedia and then you will realise why we all felt sorry for his wife! Hmm

tutu112 · 07/07/2019 11:49

Was she single too when they met then?

TinselAngel · 07/07/2019 11:50

Didn't she previously talk a lot about her adoption journey?

BullBullBull · 07/07/2019 11:51

They didn’t have an affair

Crinkle77 · 07/07/2019 11:53

I haven't seen them on telly.

sundaylast · 07/07/2019 11:54

Genuinely read that as John travolta and lisa Faulkner and got so very very confused 😂😂

crustycrab · 07/07/2019 11:57

She looks younger than his ex wife? Pretty sure there's not much of an age gap there. Lisa has to be knocking on 50

Oblomov19 · 07/07/2019 12:00

They are everywhere but I just can't watch them.

IHaveBrilloHair · 07/07/2019 12:01

@Sundaylast
Me too!
I was wondering how the hell that happenedConfused

EatingBreadAndHoney · 07/07/2019 12:01

She met him on masterchef in 2010 (which she won) and so there was definitely an overlap.

Mrsjayy · 07/07/2019 12:02

Lisa has to be 47/8ish so no a kick off the same age as his exwife
