AFTER being relentlessly mocked by cruel trolls for being “fat”, James Martin tells The Sun Online he went on to lose almost two stone in weight.
It’s this darker side to being in the public eye which the celebrity chef says is the real reason he’s so fiercely protective of his girlfriend Louise Davies.
James broke the hearts of thousands of fans when, in 2016, he finally admitted to being in a relationship with the TV producer – after keeping their romance under wraps for five years.
But by keeping their relationship out of the public eye, James, 46, has ensured the perils of fame, which comes with being one of the best known chefs in Britain, has never affected Louise.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online ahead of his On The Road Again tour, James admits he would never want his private life to be something for public consumption.
He explains: “I keep my work and family completely separate.
“When you’ve been [in the public eye] for as long as I have, for 25 years, you speak to a lot of people and they ask how do you do longevity?
“Some things just have to be private. If you open it all out, when it turns there is nowhere to hide.”
During a live TV appearance last year, James let his guard down and said on Good Morning Britain that being with Louise made him the happiest he had ever been.
But the chef – who owns three restaurants and is worth an estimated £3.8million – said now he prefers to keep their relationship totally off-limits, to avoid any unwanted interference.
He adds: “I am very protective over my private life and I always will be.”
“People need to appreciate that and people need it in their lives. When I finish for the day, I get in the car and I drove home. That is my time.”
His decision isn’t surprising; given the abuse he’s received online from people who taunted his weight.
James, who shot to fame as the face of hit BBC show Saturday Kitchen Live, admits he’s not into social media and says he has a team who run his official accounts for him.
The last time he properly looked into what viewers, who watch him on his hit ITV breakfast show James Martin’s Saturday Morning, thought, he says it didn’t make for nice viewing.
He explains: “I looked on social media and every comment was about me being fat.
“So I lost a stone and a half. And no doubt I’ll lose another stone on this tour.”
It’s hard to imagine how James will be able to resist his own delicious cooking, which he admits is laden with lashings of butter and double cream.
The chef, who was born and raised on a farm in Yorkshire, kicks off his 22-date live tour this and will be rustling up a multitude of overindulgent treats almost every night.
He jokes: “If you want to do Weight Watchers this show probably isn’t for you!
“I have double cream, full fat milk, cheese and butter and that’s just for one of the side orders on this tour.
“But I like food. I’ve always been surrounded by food. I was brought up on a farm, I worked on a farm producing pigs.
“You have to understand food and I am seriously passionate about ingredients.”
The tour will see James travelling across the UK and taking in cities including Manchester, Birmingham and Cardiff.
Although he’s done it before, and sold out most of his shows when he did the same thing last year, James admits there were only two women he really wanted to impress when he played them a clip of him playing guitar during a recent rehearsal.
He explains: “My mum and my girlfriend – they are the only people who’ve seen it.
“My mother said shoes, get your hair cut and shoes.”
James’ tour will take him away from Louise, and his mum, for over a month and he says that once it starts he’ll be living out of suitcases in hotels across the country.
But before heading home to the house he shares with Louise, James says he’ll be calling in at his mum’s for a decent meal.
He says: “I very rarely get a chance to go home when I’m on tour and I spend all my time in hotels.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
