James Martin has sparked a major reaction with his latest Instagram picture, with fans doing a double take.
Taking to his social media page on Wednesday, the ITV chef – who hosts James Martin's Saturday Morning each week – uploaded a snap from his studio kitchen alongside celebrity guest Joss Stone.
"@jossstone in the house, wonderful to see her again!" he wrote in the caption. But it seems fans were rather impressed with James' appearance, and quickly commented on his "new look".
One remarked: "Looking good James!!" Another said: "James Martin has always been a stunner. More so as he grows older." A third post read: "Lost weight James looking [three flame emojis]." A fourth person stated: "Wow you're looking good James." [sic]

"What could be simpler than pan-frying a little bit of salmon and serving it with some great new potatoes and seasonal veg?" he said, adding: "Losing weight is a balance of everything, it's getting off your arse and doing more and not eating less, but eating a variety of different things."
Meanwhile, James recently made headlines after he was accused of bullying television staff. In July, the TV presenter was suspected of "intimidating behaviour".

"I have always strived to keep my private life private. However since 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, I have decided to make a statement."
