TV chef James Martin has been making mouths water with his scrumptious recipes for decades.
The Yorkshire-born star, who owns award-winning restaurants across the UK and has amassed a fortune of over £5 million from best-selling cookbooks and TV shows, is currently starring on his own show, James Martin's Saturday Morning. Let's delve into James' life away from the camera, including his quiet relationship with girlfriend Louise Davies, and his connections with Hollywood...
The 51 year old, who met TV producer Louise Davies on the set of Celebrity Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in 2011, has decided against having children due to his dedication to his career.
In a past interview, he shared that the main reason he and Louise haven't started a family is because he is "so focused on work", and missing out on fatherhood is his "biggest low". James once confessed to Prima magazine in 2020: "The biggest low of my career is that I've given up everything for it." Despite his friends being "all married with kids", James has no regrets about his choices.
He admitted: "The level of commitment it requires and the choices you have to make have a huge impact," Even though he's made sacrifices, James would do it all over again. He proudly stated: "But would I do the same thing again? Probably, because it's made me who I am." He even joked about his luxury cars, including a Chevrolet Corvette and a 1948 Maserati, being his "babies".
He quipped, "My mates come round to my house and they look into my garage and I go, 'These are my babies, these are my things,' but you know, it's each to their own, isn't it?" James also had a high-profile relationship with Hollywood royalty, Barbara Broccoli, the producer of James Bond films. They were together
