James Martin shared some health news with Lorraine Kelly as he appeared on her ITV morning show today (April 15).
The celebrity chef was on the show to speak about his upcoming James Martin live tour, with Lorraine commenting that “things are good” with James at the moment.
The man himself then shared a health update, although it perhaps wasn’t the image we wanted in our heads as we scoffed our brekkie…
James Martin news: Chef recovering after ‘operation and bits and pieces’
Speaking to James, Lorraine said to the chef: “Things are good, everything is good for you, isn’t it?”
James shared last year that he had been diagnosed with facial cancer, but told Lorraine today that it was a case of “onwards and upwards” for him following a spell in hospital.
But as we speak, the stitches are falling out of my body at the moment.
“Yes,” he told her after she asked if everything was good. He then added: “The stitches are falling out.”
James shared more details as he revealed: “As you know, last time you were on [James Martin’s Saturday Morning] I was in the middle of operations and bits and pieces.”
He then added: “But as we speak, the stitches are falling out of my body at the moment. That’s all clear,” he added. “So onwards and upwards.”
James’ cancer diagnosis explained
Back in 2018, James was diagnosed with facial cancer. However, fans were not informed of this until July 2023.
The TV star had been accused of ‘bullying’ members of production and accused of having a temper tantrum after a drain was blocked whilst filming show at his home. He later apologised for his behaviour in 2023 by stating: “Lessons have been learned.”
In a statement, James revealed he had been suffering from facial cancer which needed regular surgery.
Speaking at the time, James said: “I was diagnosed with cancer on my face and I had to have surgery, which I couldn’t do until two days before Christmas when we had finished filming. Since then it has returned on several occasions and I have to have regular treatments.”
