James Martin dropped a surprising career revelation on James Martin's Saturday Morning.

While whisking away from the studio in Italy, James tantalised viewers with retirement talk, after tasting a local chef's dish, "Can I just say if your two sons don't want to do this, you call me."

Chuckling, he mused over his future, "I might retire here. I could be over there, I could be doing this, it is fantastic."

The culinary show host then steered the show into a candid interlude to announce a programming change.

Before segueing to commercials, he informed fans the episode was being cut short due to other timetabled broadcasts, telling them, "Because of the Derby on ITV1 this afternoon, it is a shorter episode than usual today. But we still have time for one more dish," reports .

Since 2017, James has been helming his gastronomic adventure on screen and earlier delved into an off-camera venture.

In conversation with Cotswold Life, he reflected upon his Live Tour 2025. "Every show is special. When I look at the list of places we'll be going to this year, they are serious venues - Birmingham Symphony Hall, Newcastle O2, Bridgewater Hall in Manchester," he narrated.

James divulged further intrigue about his live performances, contrasting them with his TV appearances, "People think the live shows are going to be like my Saturday Morning show, but it's really not, it's fast-paced, fun comedy, made by a great team, and it is really cool."

Opening up about a standout moment in his career, he reminisced: "Walking out on that stage, seeing my mum and dad in the audience was magical. They knew how much I had worked and for how long to get there."

In another segment of today's programme, James chatted with about Soccer Aid, and welcomed chefs Daniel Clifford and Sally Abé into the kitchen.

Sally whipped up some delightful ricotta dumplings, while Daniel impressed James with his delectable smoked butternut sorbet.

James Martin's Saturday Morning is available to watch on ITVX.
