Farmers Robert and David Nicholson, known for their appearances on Channel 5’s Springtime on the Farm and The Yorkshire Vet, shared insights about their time on James Martin’s ITV cooking show in 2025. The brothers, who operate Cannon Hall Farm with their father and brother, praised James for his professionalism and described him as a “gentleman” and a great ambassador for the dairy industry.

During a podcast discussion, the Nicholsons recalled meeting James at the barbecue area and learning about his strict rule for uninterrupted cooking. James emphasized the importance of maintaining a seamless flow while preparing dishes, without any interruptions or adjustments once cooking had begun.

In a separate revelation, James opened up about his strained relationship with his father, recounting a poignant moment from his past. At the age of 16, James left his Yorkshire home to start working in London, and his father, who struggled to show affection, gave him a note containing a blunt message before his departure.

In recent news, James surprised many by proposing to his personal trainer girlfriend, Kim Johnson, despite previously expressing disinterest in marriage. Friends of the couple shared that James’s happiness has noticeably increased since meeting Kim, marking a significant change in his perspective on marriage.

Fans can tune in to James Martin’s Saturday Morning on ITV from 9:30 am to 12 pm for more culinary delights and engaging conversations.
