Actress Lisa Faulkner stunned in her holiday snaps as she enjoyed a romantic getaway with husband and TV chef John Torode.

The former EastEnders star, 51, looked gorgeous in a green bikini as she showed off her toned figure. In a series of snaps posted on her Instagram, Lisa gave fans a glimpse into the loved-up break. She shared snaps from their evening meals as well as walks at sunset and poolside pics. Lisa also posted a selfie of the couple where MasterChef star John sent fans into a frenzy over his loving gaze.

Alongside the pics, Lisa wrote: "Oh Menorca I am completely in love with you ! Started discovering this beautiful island last year and couldn’t wait to return. We stayed at the most beautiful place @menorcaexperimental which I would stay at again and again. The best restaurant was Cantina on @hauserwirthmenorca we ate and drank and sunbathed and swam and found coves and read and chatted to each other the whole time. We didn’t really speak to anyone else apart from each other coming home feeling supercharged!! I love you @johntorodecooks."

Fans took to the comment section to express their love for the couple as one said: "Get a hubby that looks at you the way Jonno looks at Lisa, such a beautiful couple." Another added: "Look at the way he looks at you." Someone else commented: "Lovely photos . The way John looks at you melts my heart x just a lovely couple." "Oh my gosh… that gaze," wrote a fourth.

The pair met while Lisa was a contestant on MasterChef and often gush about how happy they are together. Lisa was previously married to Chris Coghill, who played Tony King in EastEnders and they have an adopted daughter named Billie. While John had been married to a woman named Jessica since 2000 and they have two children together, a son and a daughter. John and Jessica separated in 2011 but they didn't initially divorce until 2014, when their union was reportedly dissolved in a matter of seconds at the High Court.

The chef, 57, met Lisa in 2010 when the 51-year-old was a contestant on Celebrity MasterChef. They hit it off and remained friends after the show, but with both in other relationships, Lisa insists there was nothing romantic between them at first. "He was a judge on a show I loved and I was petrified of him. He was brilliant and gave us all tips so you didn't want to let him down," she previously said. "All I could think was, 'That sauce hasn't worked.' I didn't see anything but food for three months. After I won, we did The Good Food Show and stuff. John and I always got on, but I never thought about me and him."

Revealing how they eventually got together, Lisa told the Daily Mail in 2013 that everything changed after John wrote her a letter and asked her out to dinner. "John and I were friends. Neither of us thought of it as anything else until..." she said. "I don't know how things change, but something does. He asked me on a date. We went out for dinner. Then it was slightly different. I'm really, really happy. John and I are having such a nice time but we're taking things slowly. There are lots of other people to consider."

The couple tied the knot in October 2019 and previously shared the secret to a happy marriage, insisting that it is a properly made bed. Asked what makes their marriage work, John said: "A really well-made bed. You spend lots of time in it! Honestly, the bedroom – having that sanctuary of a place to go to, I think that's really important. And nice towels... Looking after yourself is as important as looking after each other."
