Chef James Martin has spoken frankly about his career, and what he would do if he lost his job with ITV.
For nearly 30 years James, 53, has been entertaining people around the world with his cooking skills on television, and through his restaurants.
Speaking on the Road To Success podcast with Benedict Fowler, James addressed his relationship with the media sphere, revealing how some people chase it and others don’t.
He acknowledged that he is just so happen to be in it that he is one of those who “don’t want it.” He acknowledged, however, that he had rather embraced his fame than pursued it.
James explained: “The weird thing is about this industry is there’s a group in this industry.
“I’m the group that doesn’t want it, and there’s a group that wants it,” he says. I just happen to be in it, and I’m fine with it, but I don’t chase it.
“I’m not one of these Instagram people that go running around chasing, at all, I don’t need to go chasing it. If it disappears tomorrow, that’s fine, I’ll go back to my restaurants, but it’s there and I’ve been in it nearly 30 odd years.
It’s amazing, it’s a journey, but I don’t go chasing it because I don’t believe it will last forever. It’s amazing. There’s a mystery to it, in my opinion.
James also made a point about how busy he was, stating that his schedule is already full for 2026 and three-quarters full for 2027.
He said, “My diary is three-quarters full in 2027, and we aren’t even 2026.” Not at the chase, I’m excited about it, I’m excited about new ventures, I’m excited about different things, and I’m excited about the job, which is fantastic, and you can’t really have anything to do with it.
You’re working with the team, but you’re enjoying it, I tell the team before we even begin serving.
It’s a really unusual thing, and we just completed a 28-day theater tour because of it.
James also provided an insight into his time on his Saturday Morning shows and how he doesn’t rehearse. He said: “A lot of people don’t know, for the 20 years I’ve been on Saturday Mornings (and Saturday Kitchen), every single recipe that I’ve ever done, I’ve not rehearsed it.

Harry and Meghan have a long tradition of Halloween celebrations.
Since the early days of their relationship, Halloween has always held a special place for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Just months after they started dating in 2016, the royal couple celebrated the spooky holiday with Harry’s cousin, Princess Eugenie and her now-husband Jack Brooksbank.
The foursome hit the town in Toronto, Canada, where they all went to the city’s Soho House for an Apocalypse-themed bash, as behind-the-scenes pictures shown during the Sussexes’ Netflix docuseries revealed their unique costumes that night, including the Harry’s Mad Max-inspired outfit, which was borrowed from the film’s actor Tom Hardy, and Eugenie’s matching ensemble.

Harry and Meghan were still living apart between London and Toronto at the time, Meghan still working as an actress on the Suits series, and they continued to communicate behind closed doors.
While the couple wanted their privacy just four months into their relationship, they were also dabbling in a few outings together, as royal authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand wrote in the biography, Finding Freedom.
Because there was a lot to celebrate, they particularly didn’t feel like spending Halloween weekend in hiding. They fell in love head-first and were enthralled four months into their union, which was one of their favorite vacations. The couple and Harry arrived in Toronto on October 29 and made the decision to attend a large costume party at Soho House in Toronto.
They discovered a newspaper had learned about their relationship the day before their Halloween party and was planning to publish the exclusive story in the paper the following day.
They both felt relaxed and absorbed in the Halloween spirit about a cocktail or so into the evening. One of Harry’s aides called them at Kensington Palace, and that was probably the end of the night out. The news wasn’t positive.
In his own memoir Spare, Harry also recalled the incident, claiming that “everything was made up” the day after the party when the relationship was revealed.
He goes on to say, “Well, we said it was going to happen eventually, staring anxiously at our phones.” In fact, we already knew what was likely to occur that day. Before the Halloween Apocalypse, we were informed that another apocalypse might be coming. More evidence that the universe was full of wicked humor.
But despite the memories from their first Halloween together, the October holiday still remains a special celebration for the couple, especially now they’ve welcomed children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet .
Meghan and Harry and their children pick pumpkins from a pumpkin patch and carve them in various designs ahead of the spooky holiday season earlier this week, in an adorable video.
Harry follows behind with a carving knife as the youngsters enjoy running through rows of enormous pumpkins. Later, while his two children are watching, he is seen sketching his masterpiece.

Nothing will ruin your plans more than the rain, whether it’s for your commute to work, a dog walk in the rain, or just trying to get some fresh air in the countryside.

One user remarked, “These were for a recent ski vacation. They were fantastic for exploring the icy streets and lower slopes. The grip on the feet was excellent and feet were kept warm.”
However, one of the commentators disagreed, saying that “very comfortable but no support for ankles and quiet slippy when it is raining.”

Alan Carr — teasing millions of The Celebrity Traitors viewers — has been tipped to become a new presenter of Strictly Come Dancing.
The comedian, 49, is vying to win the reality TV series, which draws to a close on Thursday night on BBC One. PR experts say his stint on the programme, a spin-off from the civilians’ version, has helped further boost Alan’s popularity, following previous success with his own titular show on Channel 4.
And now the broadcaster is being touted to step in to host Strictly Come Dancing next year, following the departures of Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly. One insider said: “More people are watching Alan than are watching Strictly right now. He’s been catapulted to the A-list. The star dust is practically dripping off him.”

It is said Alan, the son of a former professional footballer, thought he would have been the first kicked off The Celebrity Traitors, but he has survived to reach the final five contestants. His antics alongside the likes of Sir Stephen Fry, Kate Garraway, Clare Balding and Celia Imrie have had millions of Brits hooked since October 8.
Alan, who won a BAFTA for Alan Carr: Chatty Man in 2013, was praised for displaying his “super competitive streak” and charisma, traits insiders believe make him an ideal match for Strictly. A source told the Daily Mail: “He’s an old-fashioned showbiz pro who would be just perfect hosting Strictly. If he does manage to win Traitors it will be a sign to the BBC that he has the star quality to present its flagship show.”
The search is on to replace Claudia and Tess, who have both been associated with Strictly and its spin-off programmes for more than 20 years. Former Strictly performer, Vincent Simone, had said the hosts need to be replaced by “familiar faces that the audience already trusts”.

It’s difficult to predict, he said. I believe that the BBC should select experienced and well-known actors rather than newcomers. familiar faces like Noel Edmonds or Paddy McGuinness, who the audience already knows. People will accept the change more easily if big names are brought in who are already popular.
Since joining The Celebrity Traitors in the middle of the night, Alan, a comedian for nearly 30 years, has dispatched his close friend Paloma Faith and actress Celia Imrie. The source continued, “His public persona is one of being a bit of a giggle and pushover, but without a doubt that is not the case.”

Maya Jama and Ruben Dias are said to be ‘deep in thought’ about buying a house that was once raffled off by Omaze. The Love Island presenter, 31, confirmed her relationship with footballer Ruben, 28, earlier this year and the pair have reportedly been eyeing up the £4 million mansion in Cheshire.
The 6,300 sq ft four-bedroom house was initially a prize offered by Omaze, a company that partners with various charities and has seen celebrities like Coronation Street actress Samia Longchambon and Steps star Claire Richards head up advertising campaigns encouraging members of the public to enter for a chance to win. The luxury home was won by Emily Ward with her lucky £25 ticket.
Maya and Ruben are reportedly seen gazing at the mansion, and they are at a point in their relationship where they “want to move into a place that they can see as their own.”

A source said: “It’s the third time Ruben and Maya have looked at the property. They spent about two hours there on Wednesday. It’s quite a long time to spend on a viewing but the house is very captivating. Ruben arrived in his Lamborghini and Maya came separately in a chauffeur-driven Mercedes.
When they left together, they looked deeply in their minds. If the rent is reasonable, the house could be for rent for around £20,000 per month.
Ruben is very settled at City, and Maya has been spending more time in Manchester. They want to move into a place where they can call home, according to the source, who also spoke to The Sun.
Emily, who also won £250,000 as part of her prize, said after winning: “The house is spectacular — I can see why it’s so popular with millionaire footballers. It will be quite surreal popping out to buy a pint of milk and bumping into Wayne or Coleen Rooney. We could stay here for years if we decided to — or maybe we’ll rent it out to a new Man City signing?”
Although Maya and Ruben both seem to try to avoid social media as much as possible, it seems like things are getting serious behind closed doors. She shared a rare loved-up mirror selfie with her and they both appeared happier than ever.
After spending a lot of time in Manchester to be close to Ruben, it was revealed just weeks ago that Maya may be considering moving up north. Maya enjoys the simplicity of Manchester and the glamour of the WAG and football scene, according to a source.
She says, “She will always be special, but she enjoys spending more time with Ruben in Manchester.” The Brit Awards will take place there for the first time in February, making the city a celebrity hotspot there.
Maya frequently shared photos from Manchester, where she spent time with Ruben’s elite apartment and had meals prepared by his chef. The couple was last month seen at the Apple store in the Arndale Centre while on dates with other people and have been seen exploring the city.
According to reports from The Sun, the relationship became more serious in recent months. Maya is said to have introduced Ruben to her mum, Bernadette, and has been making an effort to learn her partner’s native language by taking Portuguese lessons.
