Jeff was diagnosed with Crohn's disease at 18, so the couple tends to be mindful about what they eat - but said watching their diet isn't about being on TV, it's more about general well-being.

Zoe also revealed that the couple's children are starting to lend a hand in the kitchen now and they love to cook the family meals from time to time, and Violet can cook a Dahl completely from scratch.
