TV presenter Lisa Faulkner<\/a> has issued an emotional birthday message to her husband, John Torode<\/a>, as she reflected on their tumultuous year on screen. On Thursday (July 23), the TV chef took to Instagram to share a sweet selfie of the happy couple, marking his 61st birthday with a bang. The former Brookside star, 54, captioned the snap with a lengthy post celebrating his kind and loving nature.<\/p>\n

She penned: “Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband, John Torode. I hope you have the best day, my best friend. What a year it’s been, but we held each other’s hands, and I couldn’t have got through these past few months without you by my side.<\/p>\n

“You are the kindest man with the gentlest, biggest heart, and you make my heart thump [heart emoji]. I look forward to a birthday coffee in our spot in the garden. I love you, my Johno, and so does Rory.”<\/p>\n

The former MasterChef star was the first to respond in the comments, posting: “And I love and adore you… [heart emoji].” Some of the chef’s famous friends and loyal fans flocked to the comments to share their birthday messages online.<\/p>\n

Former Coronation Street<\/a> star Sue Cleaver penned: “Happy Birthday John”, as Loose Women’s Kaye Adams added: “Have a fabulous birthday, John Torode, and wishing you all the very best, Lisa Faulkner.”<\/p>\n

Ruth Langsford echoed: “Happy Birthday, John Torode. Lisa, I have my op next week, and it’s good to hear positive stories.” The birthday celebrations come after the TV star revealed earlier this month that she was recovering after surgery for breast cancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The actress underwent a gruelling operation, but reassured her fans that she was recovering well at home. Taking to social media, she explained: “It’s all good, they’ve got everything out, so it’s all clear, and I just need some radiotherapy in a few weeks.”<\/p>\n

Her doting husband shared her progress during a recent appearance on This Morning earlier this month. He told hosts Ben Shephard<\/a> and Cat Deeley: “She’s doing really well, thanks so much for asking. She thanks everybody for all their wonderful comments and their best wishes, but she’s doing very well, thank you very much.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TV presenter Lisa Faulkner has issued an emotional birthday message to her husband, John Torode, as she reflected…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":711230,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[2199,235582,96,59,1782,235583,235585,235584,5310,235586,235588,235587,5780,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-711229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-breast-cancer","tag-breast-cancer-recovery","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-john-torode","tag-john-torode-age","tag-john-torode-children","tag-john-torode-net-worth","tag-lisa-faulkner","tag-lisa-faulkner-age","tag-lisa-faulkner-cancer-diagnosis","tag-lisa-faulkner-net-worth","tag-marriage","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/711229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=711229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/711229\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/711230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=711229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=711229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=711229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
