returned for a brand new episode of his Saturday Morning show on ITV1 and was joined by a whole host of guests as he whipped up a storm in the kitchen.
One of the guests who joined the chef in the kitchen was comedian Lucy Beaumont who spoke about her career while James cooked a lentil dish for her.
However, viewers at home weren’t too happy with Lucy and flocked to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express their frustrations.
One person expressed: “Can’t stand these interviews with comedians where the comedian gives the host a list of questions they have to ask them so they can churn out their rehearsed jokes #JamesMartinsSaturdayMorning #JamesMartin.”
Another viewer quipped: “Not sure if @LucyABeaumont is playing the fool, or just not funny. James is struggling either way. #jamesmartin.”

Somebody else fumed: “She’s not that funny, in my view. Then again, I don’t think Yorkshire folks are naturally funny either, in general. How many comedians hail from Yorkshire? The North West, on the other hand…”
Yet another asked: “Why can’t you recite Shakespeare with a Hull accent? @LucyABeaumont #SaturdayKitchen.”
While a fifth added: “@sat_jamesmartinquite annoying that “comedienne” Lucy Beaumont makes a living out of peddling the notion, Northerners are a little bit thick and Southerners have arrived and are so sophisticated. Its not the Victorian era anymore.” (sic)
However, not everyone felt the same way as one penned: “@lucybeaumont Oh I love you. How long is a plank of wood? @JamesMartin #SaturdayMorning.”

Although her career may be going from strength to strength, the same can’t be said for Lucy’s personal life.
The comedian announced her separation from fellow comedian and husband Jon Richardson in April this year following nine years of marriage.
The pair are parents to daughter Elsie Louise, seven, who was born back in September 2016.
James Martin’s Saturday Morning returns next Saturday at 9:30am on ITV1 and ITVX.
