James Martin has shared an announcement about his future on ITV with fans following recent ‘bullying’ allegations.
It was reported in July that popular host James, 51, had been accused of “bullying” and “intimidating” behaviour while filming.
The alleged conduct was said to have taken place in May, during filming of his Spanish Adventure show.
James Martin ‘bullying’ allegations
According to Deadline, James was accused of “berating people, reducing them to tears in front of other colleagues, and changing schedules at the last minute”. This is said to have meant his team had “just a few hours of sleep before the following morning’s shoot”. Additionally, it was alleged that James subsequently arrived an hour late for the filming commitment.
Furthermore, James was reported to have launched a “foul-mouthed tirade” at crew in 2018 when a drain in his home became blocked during filming.
James later issued a joint statement with Blue Marlin Television in which he apologised for “any offence or upset caused, as he did at the time to the crew involved”.
Now, several weeks on, the Saturday Morning presenter has shared news about his telly future.
