It comes just after the baking sensation shared 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 almost 30 years before his death in 2002, reveals she ran away from their first meeting at a dinner party.
She said that she was invited to a dinner at a friend’s house, but when she got there there were two men and two women, which left her feeling like a fool.
The television personality said she made excuses to leave her friend’s dinner as quickly as she could and didn’t anticipate what would happen next.
Prue revealed that the next day, John showed up at her door and admitted that he instantly “knew she was the one.”
It comes just after the baking sensation shared details of the start of their relationship in a sweet moment on an episode of Loose Women.
The panel quizzed the couple on how they met and John jokingly joked that it was on the dating app, Tinder.
Revealing the real story, Prue said: “No, it was boring that we met at a friend’s house.” I was coming back from Yorkshire and she said she had to go to this dinner, so I went with her and there were two guys and two girls there with champagne…
“It was an obvious setup and he was there and it was obvious what it was, I just wanted to leave. And then the next day John showed up at my door.
John sweetly added, “I knew she was the one right away,” while Prue joked, “I paid her to say that.”
Prue, who married John in 2016, also said her husband is the inspiration for some of her eye-catching outfits.
She said: ‘The color is influenced by you, we have been together for 12 years. I ask John for advice and he always says no, bigger earrings or more color are not enough.
‘He (John) pushes me further. It’s great because most women who reach 50 think they have to wear gray and I think you need color.
