ITV’s James Martin vows guest won’t return to Saturday Morning saying ‘first and last time’

TV chef James Martin dropped a hint that one guest may not be invited back onto his ITV show ‘Saturday Morning’ following a blunder. The presenter joked that Michelin-starred restaurateur Glynn Purnell jeopardized future TV appearances after he misplaced several items of cutlery during his time on the show.

The 49-year-old chef was joined by fellow culinary experts Asma Khan and Kenny Atkinson as well as Loose Women’s Linda Robson, when he faced a comical utensil mishap while demonstrating a surf and turf recipe. While preparing the dish, Glynn seemed confused by the absence of spoons for tasting.

James Martin joined him on the hunt for a spoon, but he continued to elude them, BirminghamLive reports. It then took a comedic turn as Glynn, known for his stints on My Kitchen Rules and as a judge on Come Dine With Me – Champion of Champions, discovered a spoon simmering away in the sauce.

“I’ve lost a spoon in there chef but I’m sure we’ll dig it out eventually…” he quipped, adding: “That one’s gone in there again chef, want to record that one out for me.”

Laughter ensued as James playfully pondered if this would be Glynn’s final showing on the programme. He teased: “This is Glynn Purnell – this is the first and the last time you’ll see him.”

One fan took to Twitter, saying: “Don’t normally watch morning cookery shows but was drooling over the ribs with mussels @JamesMartin Saturday Kitchen served up by Glynn Purnell today! “.

Another added: “Enjoyed watching @yummy_brummie on James Martin’s Saturday Morning @jamesmartinchef. The two of you were hilarious and informative in equal measure.” A third chimed in with: “Great seeing @yummie_brummie,”.
