This Morning’s James Martin fumes as Phillip Schofield slates his ‘skid mark’ soup and blender explodes

THIS Morning chef James Martin looked thoroughly unimpressed when Phillip Schofield compared his soup to a "skid mark" today.

The celebrity cook had a nightmare on Monday's show when the cauliflower dish accidentally erupted out of the top of a food blender.

The presenter told him: "In the top of this soup that I've pretty much eaten there was a brown skid mark."

Looking visibly annoyed, James replied: "Do you know I got up at 5 o'clock in the morning to come here?"

However, some viewers felt Phillip was too tough on James, with one calling in and telling him: "I think you've been a bit mean."

The chef had a terrible day in the kitchen on This Morning while making cauliflower winter soup.

However, when he attempted to mix it in a blender, the mixture exploded all over the kitchen and floor.

Holly and Phillip collapsed in hysterics with her telling him: "You're having a really good day aren't you. Oh James."

The blender blunder - which saw liquid cauliflower blasted all over the studio - left many viewers in hysterics.

One wrote: "During the first lockdown we had John Torode setting a tea towel on fire.

"During the second lockdown we’ve had James Martin failing to put a lid on a blender properly with soup going everywhere."

Another tweeted: "James was hilarious cooking. Just goes to show that even the best can make a mess of cooking."

It wasn't the first blunder to befall the show, which today revealed a huge festive makeover including 21 Christmas trees.

Holly, Phillip and guest Matthew Wright had to make a run for it when a camera in the ceiling started clanking and moving around.
