It comes just after the baking sensation shared the details of the start of their relationship in a sweet moment on an episode of Loose Women.
Prue, who was married to her first husband nearly 30 years before his death in 2002, reveals she bolted from their first meeting at a dinner party.
She told how she was invited to a dinner party at a friend’s house, but when she got there were two men and two women there, leaving her feeling like a gooseberry.
The TV personality said she made her excuses to leave her friend’s dinner as quickly as she could and didn’t anticipate what would happen next.
Prue revealed that the following day, John, turned up on her doorstep as he admitted he instantly ‘knew she was the one’.

The couple were quizzed on how they met by the panel and John playfully joked it was on the dating app, Tinder.
Revealing the real story, Prue said: ‘No it was boring we met in a friend’s house. I was coming back from Yorkshire and she said I need to get to this dinner party so I went with her and there were two guys and two girls there with champagne…
‘It was an obvious set up and he was there and it was obvious what it was, I just wanted to leave. And then the next day John turned up on my doorstep.
John sweetly added: ‘I new she was the one straight away’, while Prue quipped:’ ‘I paid him to say that.’
Prue, who married John in 2016, also said that her husband is the inspiration for some of her eye-catching outfits.
She said: ‘Colour is influenced by you, we’ve been together for 12 years. I ask for John’s advice and he always says no it’s not enough bigger earrings or more colour.
‘He [John] pushes me further. It’s great because most women who hit 50 thing they have to wear grey and I think you need colour.’
