James Martin has just celebrated the 200th episode of his ITV show, Saturday Morning, but his emotions were bittersweet as he honoured the late Michel Roux Senior, a fellow restaurateur, who had been a "father figure" to him.The 49-year-old felt compelled to fight back the tears earlier today as he recalled a time he had cooked at the legendary chef's French home.Michel had been the founder of various restaurants, including as Le Gavroche, the first restaurant in Britain ever to be awarded three Michelin stars, and he remains a household name for foodies even after his death in 2020, aged 78.James, who has always spoken openly about his admiration for the star entrepreneur, swiftly posted an apology to his 717,000 Twitter followers."Sorry I got a bit emotional on the @sat_jamesmartin show," the butter-loving chef declared in his post."Michel Roux Snr was like a father figure to me and that day in France was one of the greatest in my life."However, foodie fans were quick to assure him that his emotions weren't an ingredient they would want to leave out of the recipe.They poured supportive messages onto the post, telling the misty-eyed chef that he should not feel ashamed as his reaction was entirely "human".@KerryVanGelder urged: "Don’t be sorry for having a heart that’s why so many people like myself like you x"@mcam9 chimed in: "NEVER apologise for displaying emotion.
