dailyrecord.co.uk:

Celebrity chef James Martin is gearing up for his newest tour, moving away from his TV spotlight to entertain live audiences across the UK.

Speaking with Cotswold Life magazine, he candidly discussed his excitement and nerves about his fifth tour which includes shows in England, Wales, and Scotland.While he's performed before, this time he's apprehensive about living up to the high expectations his reputation has built.

Naming big venues like Birmingham Symphony Hall, Newcastle 02, and Manchester's Bridgewater Hall, he expressed his fear of letting his fans down, saying, "If I walked out there and was rubbish...", leaving the sentence to hang as he contemplated the possibility.Nevertheless, Martin is eager to create a unique show that differs from his familiar Saturday ITV routines. "People think the live shows are going to be like my Saturday morning show, but it's really not - it's fast-paced, fun comedy, made by a great team and it is really cool."Reflecting on his ascent to fame, he spoke about a poignant experience, noting, "On my last tour we played a Sunday night at The London Palladium.

Walking out on that stage, seeing my mum and dad in the audience was magical. They knew how much I had worked and for how long to get there." He credits his formative years training in France for laying the foundation for his success, which was reported by the Express, reports the Mirror.
