ITV's Saturday Morning chef James Martin, who previously hosted Saturday Kitchen on BBC, admitted he once set the side of his house on fire in a horror barbecue accident
James Martin, the beloved TV chef known for his stint on BBC's Saturday Kitchen, has shared a rather explosive anecdote about a barbecue gone wrong that sent chops soaring "about 20-30 feet in the air".
Recounting the fiery incident at his residence, the ex-BBC host explained it was all down to a pizza oven roof that should have been metal but was mistakenly made of wood. He humorously noted that his dad's barbecue calamity topped them all, though. He continued with a chuckle: "He built himself a barbecue back home at the house, on the farmhouse, and it was basically four like concrete blocks on one side, four concrete blocks on the other one... and we had some York stone."
"There was an air gap in the brickwork, and it basically overheated and exploded - the whole thing - with my dad stood next to it. The image that I've got is just chops going about 20-30 feet in the air. It was hilarious." James is no stranger to kitchen mishaps; he once memorably muddled his words on live TV while hosting a 2012 episode of Saturday Kitchen Live.
