The TV star revealed the shock anecdote during a chat with fellow celebrity chef, Simon Rimmer.
Saturday Morning host James Martin on setting his kitchen on fire
During an appearance on Simon’s Grilling podcast back in 2021, James revealed he’d had something of a kitchen nightmare.
“I set my side of my house on fire,” James revealed during the appearance.
“They [the builders] decided to build an Italian pizza oven roof, but instead of having metal, built it out of wood, which is quite handy,” he then continued.
“Next minute, there was an almighty bang,” he then said.

‘Lamb chops were flying’
James then continued, saying: “It was like, honestly, it was [a] huge explosion, and you get bits of lamb chops, pork chops, sausages flying over the top of this house. It was massive.”
The 52-year-old chef then revealed what had caused the explosion. He explained that there was an “air gap” in the brickwork that had overheated, causing the explosion.
“The image that I’ve got is just chops going about 20-30 feet in the air. It was hilarious,” he then added.
James added that luckily, no one was injured in the explosion.
Once they’d put the fire out, they carried on as if nothing had happened!
