"It's been nearly 20 years and I knew him 10 years before this, so we've known each other 30 years."
John added: "We've done 10 years not 19 series, so we are up to nearly 40 series, then you put professional on top of that and juniors, 19 years on TV, we feel lucky."
John and Gregg will be back on screen soon with a new series of their hit BBC cooking competition.
