James Martin recently shared that he and his team are taking a well-earned break from their filming schedule to enjoy the summer months.
The broadcaster, chef and host of beloved ITV morning cookery show, Saturday Kitchen, made the announcement at the end of last weekend's show, quipping: "To my food team, you can sleep better now," before thanking the celebrity guests who were featured on the episode.
He added: "That is also it for the series, me and the crew are heading off on sunny holidays. Different climates." After his team informed him they were heading to Portugal, James responded that he was heading up to Yorkshire.
An escape to the countryside for the summer months sounds idyllic, but James is fortunate to have an endless landscape on his doorstep, too.

Since his work and living space are often blended, it's perhaps unsurprising that he's seeking a summer break in a different environment.
The TV star has kitted out the garden with an outdoor kitchen that would rival the average indoor kitchen. From there, he welcomes numerous celebrity guests for whom he whips up a storm.
But James also shared recently how the show had ventured into gardening. Particularly after welcoming friend and fellow TV star, David Dominey, onto the show.

James shared a photo on his Instagram page of what appears to be enormous leeks and rhubarb growing in abundance. Perfect additions to his recipes, no doubt.

James' garden appears to stretch beyond the beautifully manicured hedges, meaning he has plenty of space right on his doorstep to enjoy.
