James Martin has a secret weapon for topping the TV Christmas ratings this year – his mum!

‘You’ve got the scoop, TV Times! My mum, Sue, is going to be appearing on my Saturday morning cookery show for the first time,’ grins James, 47, as he joins us for an exclusive interview.

‘A few years ago, I persuaded Mary Berry to appear in black leathers and take a ride in my motorbike’s sidecar – that was pretty cool – but I think Mum might just trump that!’

Here, the fun and fabulous James chats about the festive treats he has lined up for his hit ITV series, James Martin’s Saturday Morning, and reveals his Christmas wish list…

Is this your mum’s TV debut, James?
