Chef James Martin gives This Morning viewers surgery update

Celebrity chef James Martin has revealed he is due to go into hospital next week for surgery. He was speaking at the end of his cooking segment on Friday's episode of This Morning.

Holly and Phil were presenting on a Friday because it is their last show before Christmas and James revealed that he won't be back before then either because he is having surgery on his knee. Last month the 50-year-old shared an image from hospital as he prepared for an MRI scan. After also sharing a picture of his dog, Ralphy, James wrote: "Seems as if we are both getting old fella! Dropped him off for an op this morning, now it seems I need one." An MRI – magnetic resonance imaging – scan is a non-invasive way to examine organs, tissues, and the skeletal system.

James revealed on Friday that he needs to have surgery on his knee and he is due to go into hospital next week. He said: "It has completely gone and I am in a lot of pain."

Speaking on Loose Women recently he said: "I don't drink tea or coffee so fizzy drinks were always sort of my nemesis really and in the kitchen particularly."
