BOLTON food festival favourite James Martin is back "On the Road Again".

The celebrity chef will be at the Manchester Opera House tonight (October 11) as he tours theatres across the UK.

James’ legendary cooking skills will be on display, dazzling the audiences with his skill, speed and dexterity, with his usual unabashed humour.

Although food will be at the heart of the show, Martin will also be joined by special guests and much much more.

James said: "Last time around I was absolutely blown away by the reception. It was really thrilling to be able interact more directly with an audience, which is something I can’t do on TV.

"Lots has happened since the last tour, I’ve been on a culinary journey of a lifetime with my French and American Adventure TV shows and my Saturday morning show. I hope to integrate these fabulous food experiences in to a tasty live show! I’ll be pulling together my favourite recipes and mixing in plenty of surprises and special guests in what I hope is going to be feast of a performance!”

He added: "It’s very important for me that we put on a show and a performance. It’s not just going to be me standing at an oven baking some bread! I had such great feedback from the first tour that I am determined to put all my energy into this one to make it even better!"
