James Martin halts ITV Saturday Morning as interview interrupted

James Martin interrupts ITV interview with explanation

James Martin was forced to halt his cooking show after his interview with guest chefs Claude Bosi and Jonny Lake was interrupted. As the guest chefs were answering questions sent in by viewers, James noted: "They are good questions so far.

"We have got another one...Barbara Rogers, we loved your recipe for Tarte Tatin, it has won awards with the family apparently.

"I did a Tarte Tatin masterclass...," James remarked before reading out the rest of Barbara's question. "I want to know is there another fruit you can use in a Tarte Tatin?"

James told his guests: "I did a classic apple Tarte Tatin, this is Barbara, what would you recommend with a Tarte Tatin, stick with the apple or....?

Claude admitted: "Apple is my favourite but you can try pineapple...," as Jonny chipped in: "It is also nice with pears. but apple has got to be the one."

"But it's not just that you can use vegetables as well," James chipped in as the guest chefs replied: "You can use onions, shallots."

"You can use shallots, bits, and pieces like that," James repeated before abruptly pausing the interview to address the sound in the background.

"That is not a shotgun by the way, we have got a crow scarer...the farmer has just planted some plants out there, we are going to get a lot of this during the day really."

He added: "It's to stop the pigeons going and wrecking his plants as well."

Elsewhere in the show, James was joined by Lisa Snowdon, who sat down with the host to chat about her book.

Lisa, who admitted to not having many dislikes when it comes to food, also got to taste some of James' cooking. However, she did confess, the one thing she didn't like was pickles.

In June, James took to Instagram to tell his followers he was taking a hiatus from Saturday Morning for the summer.

He penned: "Thank you all for tuning in as we air the last show of this series before the summer break! We look forward to August and returning with more amazing guests and chefs for you! Thank you."

James' followers were quick to reply with one commenting: "Have a lovely break James and thank you so much for having me on!"

Another added: "Thank you, James and all the production team! Always a treat to be on the show! Get some rest! A bientot."

James Martin's Saturday Morning airs on Saturday at 9.30am on ITV.
