Lisa Faulkner looked radiant and glowing next to her husband John Torode as she shared a sun-kissed Instagram snap on Monday.

The couple are currently enjoying a relaxing beach holiday, just months after revealing her battle with breast cancer

Lisa, 54, slipped into a leopard print swimsuit while her Australian chef husband, 61, opted for vibrant blue and white shorts.

The couple married in October 2019 after first meeting on MasterChef in 2010, before beginning a relationship a couple of years later. 

The TV star recently shared a touching birthday tribute to John in a sweet selfie. 

Referencing the recent times of strife, she lauded her husband, writing: 'I couldn’t have got through these past few months without you by my side.'

Her touching tribute read: 'Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband @johntorodecooks I hope you have the best day my best friend...

'What a year it’s been but we held each others hands and I couldn’t have got through these past few months without you by my side...

'You are the kindest man with the gentlest biggest heart and you make my heart thump. 

'I look forward to a birthday coffee in our spot in the garden I love you my Johno and so does [our dog] Rory.' 

Last month, Lisa announced she had been diagnosed with the disease and explained she has already undergone surgery and will have a course of radiotherapy. 

Lisa first shared the news online days before, explaining she had been quiet on social media while undergoing treatment for cancer.

She said: 'I know I've been very quiet on here, reason being I have had to have surgery for the early stages of breast cancer.

'I had surgery two weeks ago, it was quite a big op but it's all good and I've my results back and they've got everything out. 

The couple married in October 2019 after first meeting on MasterChef in 2010, before beginning a relationship a couple of years later 

Last week, Lisa shared a sweet message for John on social media for supporting her during her breast cancer battle 

'So it's all clear and I just need now to have some radiotherapy in a few weeks.

'I just wanted to say I've got a bit of healing to do but I'm good. I'm well and feeling so much better and I'm so grateful I went for my mammogram.'

Encouraging others to go and get checked out, Lisa said: 'I just wanted to say don't put them off, go, because they found this and without that mammogram it wouldn't have been picked up.

'Thank you to our wonderful NHS and the fact we can have these mammograms and we can get treatment early.'
