It’s set to start later on this year.

Confirming the news, he took to Twitter on Friday morning, and wrote: “The news is true I’m coming back to Saturday mornings”.

The new Saturday show is set to star celebrity guests as he creates recipes from around the world, but it will be in his own home.

It will be pre-recorded.

In a statement released by the man himself, he said: “Being back on Saturday mornings feels really exciting, not a day has gone by in the last year without someone asking me if I’ll be back at that time!

“But it was really important to me to do things differently… so the new show will take some unexpected turns, watch this space!”

All kinds of happy about this.

He also took the time to thank his loyal viewers for tuning in and lending their support to his media career over the past 23 years.

What a polite man he is. They bring ’em up with manners in Yorkshire.

He wrote on Twitter: “Chuffed for team who work so hard & for the kind viewers for their support over the last 23 yrs! [sic] New shows hitting day & prime time soon!”

We can’t wait!
