James Martin thought he looked ‘massive’ on screen
Recalling one time when he did see himself on television, he said: “My eyesight is starting to go, so I bought a bigger TV for my bedroom, 85 inches big, and I accidentally caught myself on my Saturday morning show.
“I looked at myself and thought, ‘Jesus, I look massive! Oh… I am massive!'”
“I looked at myself and thought, ‘Jesus, I look massive! Oh… I am massive!'”
James previously shared that he decided on a bit of an overhaul amid the coronavirus pandemic.
He is thought to have lost somewhere between three and five stone in total and has said that it was more to do with what he drank than what he ate.

Speaking to Hello! magazine last year, he said he scrapped the fizzy stuff and upped his water intake in a bid to get in better shape.
“The way I lost weight is by cutting down soft drinks,” said James.
“I drink a lot of water, two litres every day. I still eat exactly the same.
“Losing weight is a balance of everything, it’s getting off your [bleep] and doing more and not eating less, but eating a variety of different things.”
The star said that he felt great after changing things up and that his brain felt more “alive”.
James Martin’s Saturday Morning at Christmas is on Saturday (December 23) at 9.30am on ITV1.
