They met when Lenny was starring in a production of Shakespeare's Othello but the comedian was recently grilled about why he hasn't popped the question after so many years together. 

During an April appearance on Channel 4 show The Assembly, Lenny gushed about how he and Lisa first bonded over cups of tea only for an interviewer to ask: 

'Why haven't you put a ring on it then?'

Letting out a groan, Lenny bent forward in his chair and placed his hands over his face, before responding: 'Have you been talking to her?'
