The future of the James Martin Saturday Morning show has been revealed, according to the show’s host.
ITV have made a decision on the show’s future after James was embroiled in a “bullying” scandal earlier this year.
James Martin embroiled in ‘bullying’ row
Earlier this year, TV chef James Martin was embroiled in a “bullying” row.
Back in May of this year, James was filming his show, James Martin’s Spanish Adventure, when his behaviour was complained about by crew members.
The 51-year-old allegedly berated staff members, reducing some to tears, and changed filming schedules, before turning up late.
“What’s remarkable is I saw this behaviour on every project I did with him and it feels conscious,” a producer who worked with James told Deadline at the time.
It wasn’t the first time James’ behaviour had been slammed. In 2018, he launched a foul-mouthed tirade at crew members filming at his home after his sink got blocked.
James subsequently apologised for the allegations, as did his production company.
Future of James Martin Saturday Morning show on ITV revealed
Now, a few months on from the bullying allegations, the future of James’ Saturday Morning show has been revealed.
James got emotional as he discussed the future of his beloved show during a sold-out live event in Birmingham.
According to BirmginhamLive, James left it until the end of the show before revealing the future of his show.
“I want to thank everyone for their support,” he said. “It’s been a difficult time and I’ve not been well.”
He then continued, saying: “But I wanted to let you know about the future of my Saturday show as ITV have just made a decision yesterday. So, ITV has decided to renew the Saturday show for another year. We’ve just found out.”
