James Martin apologises after TV chef was accused of bullying crew members
Saturday Kitchen presenter James Martin has come forward with an apology in light of on-set bullying claims. It was reported this week that the TV chef, 51, had been handed a "stern warning" by his ITV superiors after concerns were raised over his behaviour while making James Martin's Spanish Adventure.
James was accused of 'berating colleagues to the point of tears' and 'changing shooting schedules at the last second', meaning crew members were expected to clock in with just a few hours sleep under their belt.
In response to this controversy, James and his Blue Marlin Television production company have penned a joint statement, which read: "An unfortunate incident occurred after filming James Martin's Saturday Morning in 2018 where James' home was badly damaged.
Blue Marlin Television accepted responsibility. "James was shocked by what had happened and on reflection acknowledges he responded emotionally, which he wholly regrets.
