Emmerdale Star's Past Marriage Revealed
Emmerdale viewers have realised that Kev Townsend actor Chris Coghill has a rather well-known former partner. The actor's past relationship came up as he was a guest on ITV's This Morning alongside Bradley Riches, his fellow cast member from the ITV soap.
Additional guests on the show included celebrity chef John Torode, who was demonstrating some culinary skills. John is wed to actress and TV personality Lisa Faulkner, and some viewers clocked that Lisa was previously married to Chris, reports the Mirror.
Viewers React on Social Media
Several people shared comments on X noting that John and Chris were appearing on the ITV show at the same time. "Wasn't he Lisa Faulkner's first husband?" one viewer posted on the platform as Chris joined presenters Josie Gibson and Dermot O'Leary on the sofa.
"So Lisa Faulkner has her current husband and ex husband on the show today," another person commented on the platform, which was previously known as Twitter. A further viewer posted: "Wow Kev Townsend and John Torode in studio at the same time #awkward." Someone else joked: "Pretty sure that man is Lisa Faulkner's ex husband.. John is there too today. Hopefully they get along."
How Chris and Lisa Met
Chris and Lisa crossed paths on the set of BBC's Burn It in 2003, and they went on to tie the knot at Richmond Park in Surrey in 2005. The couple adopted a daughter together in 2008 but in 2011 it was announced that they were parting ways.
Lisa's Relationship with John Torode
Lisa subsequently fell for Australian chef John - whom she had encountered on Celebrity MasterChef - previously revealing to Radio Times that he sent her a romantic message asking whether she would like to go out with him. "I was surprised," she admitted. "I knew we'd had a couple of pleasant encounters where we met, conversed, enjoyed ourselves and talked extensively. So we were friends, and it didn't come out of nowhere, but I thought it was a very gentlemanly gesture, a letter."
The duo went on to exchange vows in a ceremony at Aynhoe Park, Oxfordshire in 2019. The couple have also collaborated professionally, presenting shows such as ITV's John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen.
This Morning airs at 10am on weekdays on ITV.
