James Martin has hinted at an exciting new project - the major clue being grapes whilst filming at a vineyard! Taking to this Instagram page, the celebrity chef shared a video from the South of France and remarked: "Hi guys, I won't keep you long. I just wanted to say hi from the South of France amongst the vineyards.
"This is because of a new project that I have been working on for about 18 months. We're not far off from being ready to launch. I'm over here doing a few recipes, but I am over here particularly to see these 2021 vines be picked.
