John chipped in, “John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen is back and it will be on Saturday mornings and it will be showing on ITV in the early part of the summer, but of course we've got to film it don't we?”

The pair went on to explain that in light of the coronavirus pandemic, the show will be shot with social distancing in mind.

“So we're going to be filming it next week, social distancing, and everything sorted,” Lisa, who met John on the set of Celebrity MasterChef when she was a contestant back in 2010, said.
