'Ha ha thanks all lost 14 kilos got to get new clothes,' James penned.

Plenty of people were keen to know how the foodie pro had dropped the pounds, with many speculating that he had ditched his famously favourite ingredient.

One more suggested that James' return to the busy restaurant industry following the coronavirus lockdown may have helped him to slim down, writing, 'That’s amazing. I reckon a good few kilos is down to hard workouts in a very hot kitchen. I need help now to lose the kilos.'

Others were busy leaving rather raunchy comments, unable to contain their crush on the dishy cook.

'I think many would agree you should probably just ditch the clothes altogether 😂,' one cheekily joked.

'Hot hot hot .... you have always been my favourite TV chef 😍,' agreed a second.

'Fancied you when you first used to wear your bandanas and now I fancy you even more these days.. Sorry not sorry 💖💖,' a third chipped in.
