James Martin, 46, appeared as a guest on Chris Evans, 37, on his Virgin Radio Breakfast show last week. During a conversation, Chris asked James if he could tell his listeners about his “extraordinary” deal with ITV. James jokingly replied: “What that just keeps going?” Chris then joked: “He [James] said how long do you want me to do this one? They [ITV] said as long you like.
That was it, that was the conversation.

“Every week? Yes, every week.”
Pretending to be James, he added: “When might you want me to stop?”
Flippantly pretending to be ITV, he added: “You just tell us when you want us to stop, but just don’t stop and carry on doing it.”
Laughing, James said: “That was it, that was the conversation.”
Chris went on to tell listeners the show was filmed from James’ home, admitting he was “jealous”.
He said: “It’s a massive TV show on once a week and it’ll run forever. It’s great to repeat shows like this.
“It’s going to be out there forever, you’ll get all the residuals.”
James previously fronted Saturday Kitchen on the BBC for 10 years up until 2016.
