James Martin has responded to one message of support he’s received after issuing an apology and revealing his cancer diagnosis.
The 51-year-old issued a statement apologising for ‘upsetting or causing offence’ after he was accused of exhibiting bullying and intimidating behaviour while filming an ITV programme.
He later issued another apology, citing personal life pressures including a shock cancer diagnosis, the death of his last surviving grandparent, and a home burglary as building up to his ‘very emotional state’ when his home was ‘flooded’ while filming due to a blocked drain.
‘I can only say I am human and following a build-up of personal life pressure, I admit I overreacted regarding the damage to my home,’ he said.
His apology sparked support from celebs and fans alike, including stars who have worked with the TV chef.
Brian Turner, who makes regular appearances on James Martin’s Saturday Morning, wrote a touching message of support.
He said: ‘In my view you make me proud to be your TV dad. You have always been there for me whenever needed.
‘Stay as kind as you always are, tough when needed and true to your Yorkshire principles. X’

While he didn’t comment on the Tweet, Martin ‘liked’ the message, the only comment on his apology post that he appears to have responded to.
Actor Denise van Outen also wrote: ‘James & @ralph_loulabelle I love you both so much! You’ve always made me feel welcome and you know hanging out with you guys on your show with you’re brilliant team is one of my highlights of the year.
‘I’m so sorry this has been put out into the public domain, when I know you’ve already apologised in private. Sending loads of love to you guys. Can’t wait to see you soon. ❤️’
This Morning presenter Dermot O’Leary, added: ‘Chin up, shoulders back, butter ready to speed . X.’
Since his apology, the expletive moment he scolded staff over the incident has been ‘leaked’ with the presenter heard swearing 42 times in a 10 minute rant, in an audio clip obtained by The Sun.
In it, Martin scolded his team, telling them they should be ‘f***ing fried’ and punishing them by ordering they take their lunch breaks in the ‘f***ing rain.’

‘Show me and show my house more f**king respect – if not, you’re gone,’ he is heard saying after the drain damage.
He continued: ‘Senior members of our staff will get f**king fired because I‘m sick of it. I’m sick of being treated like a f**king piece of sh*t.’
On Thursday, Martin addressed the recording (before it had been leaked) and said on his social media he felt compelled to make a statement about the incident after ‘details of a conversation which was secretly recorded in January 2018 are now five years later being made public by a former member of our production team.’
In a series of posts on Twitter, he wrote: ‘I would like to publicly and sincerely apologise to the crew involved in this incident, as I did at the time.’
He described the end of 2017 as ‘one of the most fraught and difficult periods of my life’ because he had been dealing with his grandfather’s death and a home burglary.
‘I was then diagnosed with cancer on my face and I had to have surgery, which I couldn’t do until two days before Christmas when we had finished filming,’ he added.
‘Since then it has returned on several occasions and I have to have regular treatments.’

The wife of the accused Gilgo Beach serial killer spoke to reporters for the first time since her husband was arrested and charged with the murders of three women over a decade ago.
Asa Ellerup, 59, returned to her home in Massapequa Park, New York on Thursday after investigators finished scouring the house for evidence.
Her husband, Rex Heuermann, was arrested for the murders three women found dead in December 2010.
Investigators are still trying to determine if he was responsible for the other seven bodies found in the same part of Long Island’s South Shore between 2010 and 2011.

Heuermann, a 59-year-old architect who owned a firm in Midtown, Manhattan, was arrested on Thursday, July 13 at his office. After he was taken into custody, police quickly descended on his suburban home.
Over next 12 days, investigators were seen hauling out filing cabinets, gardening tools, and a large portrait of a woman with a bruised face.
They also removed Heuermann’s massive collection of firearms.
‘Approximately 279 weapons were recovered,’ Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said.

Later, investigators brought in a large backhoe to dig up part of Heuermann’s backyard after detecting ‘disturbances’ underground, Tierney said.
Ellerup and her daughter returned to their Massapequa Park home on Thursday. Although she previously cursed at reporters at the property, she briefly addressed them on Friday.
‘If you want to take pictures, go ahead. I’m OK with it now,’ Ellerup told reporters waiting outside the torn up suburban home. ‘The sheer depression of what I saw was enough trauma.’
Court documents reveal she filed for divorce less than a week after Heuermann’s surprise arrest.
Heuermann was charged with six counts of murder for the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello. He has denied the charges.
Neither Ellerup nor her children have visited Heuermann in jail since his arrest.

She’s said to be ‘reluctant’ to find love again.
The 18-year-old has been making a serious impression during pre-season.

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire would prefer to play for a ‘bigger club’ than West Ham United.
The Hammers submitted a £20million offer for the England international on Friday, an offer that was turned down by United.
Erik ten Hag views his former captain as a valuable member of his squad with United not actively looking to sell him this summer.
The right offer could tempt them into doing business however although West Ham’s initial bid falls well short of United’s valuation.
Sky Sports report the Old Trafford club are looking for a fee of around £40million for the 29-year-old.
It remains to be seen whether West Ham will return with an improved offer but there are other stumbling blocks in the way.
According to The Times, Maguire has designs on joining a ‘bigger club’ than David Moyes’ side if he does leave Manchester. His wages are also though to be an issue with the former Leicester star on £200,000-per-week.

United have also already rejected a loan move for Maguire from West Ham.
Maguire lost his place in the starting XI at the start of the 2022-23 season with Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane now Erik ten Hag’s firm first choice pairing at the back.
Victor Lindelof was preferred to the England international during the season-run in while Luke Shaw was also shifted inside ahead of Maguire when other options were not available, occasionally leaving him fifth choice at centre-half.
He started just nine Premier League games last season but so far there has been no clear indication that Maguire wants to leave this summer, with reports suggesting he wants to fight to regain his place in the side next season.
West Ham are also interested in signing Scott McTominay from United as they seek a replacement for Declan Rice following his £105m move to Arsenal.
Like Maguire, United are not actively looking to sell the Scotland international, viewing him as a valuable squad player. It would take an offer of around £40m to £45m to tempt United into doing business.

Love Island narrator Iain Stirling has detailed his fear of becoming ‘irrelevant’.
The 35-year-old, who is married to former Love Island host Laura Whitmore, is known for his cheeky quips about the singletons on the programme, which he’s been narrating since 2015.
But he’s now worried he’s not so down with the kids, it seems.
Appearing on Friday’s The One Show, the Scot explained: ‘I’m at an age now where I’m not relevant anymore.
‘Do you know that feeling?’

As Alex Jones joked he shouldn’t say that ‘too loud’ or he’d be ‘booted off’ Love Island, Iain quipped: ‘They need me more than you know!’
‘Take that ITV!’ he laughed.
He went on: ‘Social media and things like that, TikTok, I don’t understand it.
‘And then I just feel like maybe I’m slowly becoming irrelevant, but then also maybe I’m not.’

Iain had been explaining his tour next year is aptly called ‘Relevant’.
The dad-of-one continued: ‘And also, in your family structure, you’re becoming a dad, you feel like you’re everyone’s second choice in the household.
‘It’s a scary time, and an exciting time.’
The One Show airs weekdays from 7pm on BBC One.

Ethan Slater is said to be dating Ariana Grande following her split from Dalton Gomez (Picture: Getty)
Ethan Slater is reportedly hoping to co-parent his son with his estranged wife, amid rumours he’s dating Ariana Grande.
The SpongeBob SquarePants star, 31, was first said to be romancing the Dangerous Woman hitmaker, 30, following her split from husband Dalton Gomez, 27,
Ariana was married to the estate agent for two years, but they’re said to have called it quits after problems arose in December.
Speculation soon began that Ariana was already off the market again – except things got murky when people realised Ethan is married.
The actor also shares a young child with Lilly Slater, who was ‘blindsided’ by his relationship with Ariana.
In the most recent developments, sources have claimed that Ethan still speaks to Lilly every day.

It’s said he also recently spent time with his nearly one-year-old son in London, according to TMZ.
The outlet adds that Ethan has been wanting to release a statement of his own amid his divorce woes.
While neither Ariana nor Ethan has publicly addressed the romance rumours yet, Lilly did speak out this week – and she’s not exactly thrilled.
In fact, she blasted Ariana personally as she made it clear that her priority is her baby boy.
‘[Ariana’s] the story really. Not a girl’s girl,’ she told Page Six.
‘My family is just collateral damage.’
Speaking to DailyMail.com, the estranged spouse of the Broadway star – who gave birth in August – later said she is determined to move on with her life as a single mother.

‘I am focused on rebuilding a life for our son,’ she added.
‘This is what I am trying to do and this is my only focus.’
The former couple were together for 10 years and got married in 2018.
Lily’s savage comments come after reports that she spent time with Ariana and her son in the capital, as Ethan and the Grammy-winning star filmed the movie adaptation of Wicked together.
An insider close to Lilly and Ethan alleged to the Daily Mail that Ariana and Ethan’s new relationship has taken a real toll on Lilly.
‘Lilly hung out with Ethan and Ariana so many times,’ the insider claimed.
‘Ariana met their baby and even held him. They had dinners together in London – and Ariana told Lilly that she wanted to have a baby one day and that she couldn’t wait to start a family.’

According to the source, Lilly and her newborn son travelled to London with Ethan when he began filming in April 2023, eight months after she gave birth.
The insider alleged that Ethan’s relationship with Ariana began after the first visit.
But, she and Ethan made the decision to try and ‘put it behind them and work on their marriage,’ only for her to later find out the romance had continued.
Reps for Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have been contacted for comment.
