Saturday Morning star James Martin, 46, said he visited London’s Harrods store for a pair of shoes and ended up buying his adorable dog Ralph six years ago. Spilling all on the encounter, he said: “I have two dogs – a working cocker spaniel called Cooper and a little Lhasa Apso called Ralph that I bought p***ed from the pet store at Harrods one lunchtime!” Elaborating further, he added to the Daily Star: “It was a boozy working lunch, the day before Saturday Kitchen, and I had been celebrating. “I ended up on the top floor of Harrods thinking I was going to buy a new pair of shoes, but I ended up in the wrong department and saw these two little dogs.
