TV chef James Martin has opened up about his family life and shared a heartbreaking confession as he revealed the one person he wishes he could be more like

View 4 Images

TV chef James Martin has made a touching revelation as he reflected on his deep affection for a beloved family member who has passed away.

For years, James has cemented his position as one of Britain’s most esteemed chefs, but in an intimate glimpse into his personal life, he revealed how a crucial life lesson has propelled his professional success.

Speaking recently on the Road To Success with Benedict Fowler podcast, James discussed his late grandmother and expressed his desire to emulate her qualities, explaining: “It sounds daft talking about your granny, but if I could be 10% of what my granny is, I’d be 110% a better person (than I am now).”

Expressing his deep respect for his grandmother, he noted that the only individual who matched her presence was the late Queen Elizabeth in terms of her dignified manner, stating: “My granny, it sounds daft, but my granny was the same (as Queen Elizabeth), because she’d walk into a room and I don’t know if it was how I was brought up, but you were told respect and you shut up and listen. And I valued that so much.”

Additionally, he made a poignant admission as he continued: “I wish I had more time to ask more questions. But I wasn’t old enough at the time to fully understand it. Now you realise you should have asked more questions.”

Nevertheless, beyond revealing this heartfelt family tribute, James has witnessed his career flourish throughout the years, featuring across numerous television programmes.

Starting his professional career in France, one of his first roles was at the three-Michelin-star restaurant Maison Troisgros in Roanne, France.

He later returned to the UK, taking up a position as a pastry chef at Chewton Glen Hotel.

However, despite honing his craft in high-end restaurants, he is most recognised for his television career, with his first on-screen role in 1996 appearing on a variety of shows, including James Martin: Yorkshire’s Finest, Ready Steady Cook, and The Big Breakfast.

Since then, he has become a familiar face in British households, with his latest TV endeavour being his own ITV cookery show, James Martin’s Saturday Morning.

Each week, he welcomes celebrities into his Hampshire home, showcasing his culinary prowess.

EXCLUSIVE: Chris Robshaw and his family have suffered another tragic setback ahead of Strictly Come Dancing’s live show tomorrow night, a source has revealed to The Mirror

Strictly Come Dancing star Chris Robshaw has dealt heartbreaking family news ahead of tomorrow’s live show. The rugby player, 39, is due to perform a salsa with professional dance partner Nadiya Bychkova tomorrow – but behind-the-scenes, he’s been dealing with a family emergency.

Chris and his wife Camilla have been “an emotional mess” after their dog Rico became unwell with kidney failure. The 13-year-old canine, who Strictly’s Chris calls his first child, is said to be declining rapidly following his shock diagnosis.

“Chris is holding it together as best he can but he’s a huge softy at heart and Rico’s diagnosis has knocked him for six,” a source told The Mirror. “Camilla and Chris are trying to stay strong for their two boys, but it’s been an emotional time.

“He’s been wearing sunglasses where possible to hide his eyes, as it’s been so upsetting.” They added that Chris is worried that he won’t be there in case Rico’s health becomes worse.

“Camilla has been posting the dog a lot on her socials, without much context, but the diagnosis has been tough to swallow,” they said. “Chris hates fuss, so he’s been keeping things quiet.”

Despite the tough news, Chris will be performing tomorrow night as he “doesn’t want to let the viewers down”. The source said: “Whilst being professional and turning up for rehearsals, staying late and dancing for more than eight hours a day, he’s feeling deflated at the moment.”

It’s yet another blow to the family after Chris was targeted by an alleged female stalker ahead of his Strictly debut. The sportsman is said to have almost pulled the plug on his time at the BBC competition before it began over fears that the woman would become a threat.

A spokesperson for Chris told the Mirror in August: “This is an ongoing police investigation, and therefore we are unable to comment at this time. Chris will not be commenting further.”

Last month, Chris revealed that his singer wife Camilla laughed at him when he revealed that he would be signing up to Strictly. The couple married in France in 2018 and share sons Wilding, four, and one-year-old Hunter.

Chris told Heat magazine that his wife knows “all about my dance moves” but later reassured him that she backed his decision. He explained: “She was like, ‘Look, it’s a great opportunity. It’s amazing, so go and do it, we’ll support you’.”

Strictly Come Dancing continues tomorrow on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

As a first-time mum I’ve been looking for ways to make feeding time easier, and this hands-free warming breast pump has been pain-free and easy to use on the go

View 4 Images

As any new mum knows, you can often be inundated with advice, social media adverts and a constant stream of what you should buy and shouldn’t. So when my sister, Miranda-Alix, was awaiting the birth of her first child, she decided to put Eufy’s brand new wearable smart breast pump – the S1 Pro to the test to see whether it lived up to expectations.

The breast pump claims to be the world ’s first warming wearable breast pump for extra comfort and milk, which offers hospital-grade performance and suction, designed to fit all nipple sizes. For British mums that have given birth in a UK NHS hospital, you’ll be privy to the joys of using a pump which is similar to high Street brand Calypso. These pumps are incredibly effective in terms of suction measurement and speed, however the suction edges can be uncomfortable against the breast, and the design doesn’t always live up to expectations.

The Eufy S1 Pro

What we love

• Comfortable for daily wear on delicate and sensitive-prone skin
• Stylish design including portable charging case lasts up to 5 days
• Speedy pumping
• Easy decanting
• Heated for comfort and encouragement of milk production

What we don’t

• Not completely discrete under clothing

As soon as she started using the S1 Pro, my sister was very impressed by the sleek and compatible size, not to mention the design of the product which was easy to pack away and use, which was quite a high priority for her. She compared both the hospital pump she was given and the Eufy which comes in at £269.99 from eufy.com and was incredibly impressed at the ease of use, speed pumping, effective pumping, sound, size and great design.

The soft silicone edges glide smoothly across the skin with absolutely no friction whatsoever, with the exception of the gummy surface which helps with skin to skin connection. No leaks here! With this comes a modern, almost futuristic design.

The design of the S1 Pro even stretches to the beautiful carry case which you could easily carry off as a stylish clutch. The carry case is also its charging port, which you charge up using a USB charge for convenience then retains power for up to 5 days making it easy to use on the go.

Miranda-Alix’s thoughts

As a new mum of a baby boy Kai, I have been using the Eufy S1 Pro day and night between feeds to express milk in an attempt to exclusively breastfeed. Whether or not you want to combine this with formula feeding too, it is an absolute dream in terms of getting the milk at any time of the day while seated, moving around or doing anything that I need to do.

View 4 Images

I have been using the Eufy S1 Pro since returning home and followed all the setup which took me less than 30 mins, and within that time-frame I was able to use it right away. I tested the pump initially feeding on the other breast and using one pump, as they individually turned on and off.

I individually adjusted to suction strength and also heat level to get to the right level for me, and I tested with both inside multiple differing bras, all of which had no issues other than being slightly visible underneath clothing. This electric pump can be worn under any maternity bra with complete access to the controls on the top of the pump.

These are subtle and easy to use and take up little to no space whilst still having the capacity to collect a good and generous amount of milk. The Eufy S1 Pro has hospital grade suction capability, so you’re able to withdraw as much milk as you can produce, then without even taking the pump apart you can simply pour from the top into storage or a bottle to save for later.

All of this can be tracked in the app alongside. The app is a little bit fiddly if you aren’t used to it, but you get used to it very quickly and before you know it becomes second-nature to have it up. You can see how the product is working, the charge levels of the device, and personalise everything for a tailored-to-you experience.

Final verdict

The price tag is hefty compared to other brands such as the Momcozy All-in-one M5 Wearable Breast Pump which is a little easier on the bank balance. However, if you’re going to invest over £100 in a pump, the added 5 day portable charge, heated capability and the low decibel sound of the Eufy S1 Pro is worth the bigger price tag in my opinion.

I would say it is definitely possible to exclusively breastfeed if wanted with ease and speedy milk delivery. The Eufy S1 Pro would be your best bet at trying to do so, and that is coming from a first-time mum who is sceptical about products being offered to her constantly.

One way Brits are trying to save money this autumn is by keeping heating bills to a minimum – that’s where these inexpensive expert tips could be your new holy grail for keeping warm

View Image

With temperatures already decreasing as we head deeper into autumn, and Ofgem increasing its price cap earlier this month, Brits across the UK are eagerly looking for ways to keep warm in the autumn and winter months without racking up their energy bills.

There are simple solutions, such as wearing more layers at home or investing in some hefty blankets that you can get cosy under on chilly evenings, but heating expert Matthew Jenkins at MyJobQuote.co.uk has also outlined some easy-to-make changes to your home that could help you save on heating bills through the colder months.

1. Make Good Use of Your Curtains

Matthew suggests making the most of the free heat from sunlight. By opening your curtains and letting sunlight into your home during the day, you can delay the need to switch on your heating. As night falls, close your curtains. They act as an extra layer of insulation, helping to keep the warmth in the room.

Make sure there are no gaps or leaks to stop warm air from escaping and cold air from creeping in. This can also help to minimise condensation.

During the winter months, it’s advisable to opt for thicker and longer curtains, such as velvet or even blackout options. These ensure less air can seep through the material or sneak around them, into your room.

2. Use Rugs

Your room might be losing a significant amount of heat right under your feet. Floorboards, vinyl, stone, and laminate floors can get extremely cold in the winter, and if your flooring is old or has numerous cracks or gaps, you could be losing a substantial amount of heat through the floor.

Adding a rug to any room can provide a cosy feel while helping to keep your feet warm. It will also help to reduce the amount of cold air creeping in and the amount of warm air escaping.

Depending on the size of the space, a thick rug is a fairly affordable addition to any home.

3. Hot Water Bottles

Hot water bottles are a cost-effective solution for staying warm in the winter. By simply refilling your hot water bottle with warm water throughout the day, you can stay cosy and comfortable.

Pairing a hot water bottle with a blanket creates an incredibly warming combination that keeps you toasty all day long. A fantastic way to cut down on heating at night is to pop a hot water bottle into your bed about 20 to 30 minutes before bedtime, ensuring your sheets are snug and inviting when it’s time to nod off.

If you’re a bit cautious about using water-filled hot water bottles, a microwavable warmer is a brilliant, budget-friendly alternative.

4. Move Your Furniture

A solution that doesn’t require any extra spending, just a bit of interior design know-how. It might seem like a good idea to place your sofa, bed, or desk in front of a radiator to feel the warmth, but this will only result in your furniture soaking up most of the heat from the radiator.

Shifting your furniture away from the radiator allows the warm air to circulate properly throughout the room. This also applies to any other items, such as your curtains, that may be covering your radiator.

Keeping items away from the radiators in the room can provide you with more warmth and allow you to make the most of the heat without waste.

5. Radiator Reflectors

Heat reflectors are a brilliant way to make your home feel cosier. You can pick up radiator reflectors at a bargain price; some options, like those available at Dunelm, go for around £20.

Plus, they’re super easy to fit, meaning you can tackle this DIY task without any extra installation costs. Radiator heat reflectors work by bouncing the heat from your radiator back into the room when placed against the wall behind the radiator.

This stops heat from escaping through the wall and instead pushes the warmth forward into the room, creating a toastier space without the need to crank up the thermostat.
