James Martin, 51, SPLITS with girlfriend after 12 years together as he’s spotted shopping with new love interest
JAMES Martin has split from his girlfriend Louise Davies after 12 years together.
And the TV chef, 51, has been spotted shopping with his new love interest - Arun Nayar's ex-wife Kim Johnson.
Arun was previously married to Elizabeth Hurley from 2007 to 2011 and he went on to marry Kim within a year.
James, who has become a household name thanks to shows like Saturday Kitchen for the BBC and ITV’s Saturday Morning, began dating TV producer Louise in 2011.
They met on the set of Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and lived in Hampshire.
But he said in 2019 that he had no plans to ever marry.

He told Sunday People: "It doesn't interest me in the slightest, mainly because I've catered for so many weddings, really.
"I admire people who do it, that's fine, but I'm quite happy. I don't need to spend 60 grand on a day, no, I'm more than happy thanks."
James appeared to be in good spirits on an afternoon in Mayfair with stunning Kim.
The brunette wore a black miniskirt with tights and a blue jacket that featured gold buttons.
TV star James, who spoke about his 3st weight loss in 2022, was dressed in blue jeans, a navy body warmer, and a pale blue shirt which he teamed with a basball cap.
It follows news that Saturday Morning host James is "taking a break" from TV amid his private cancer battle.
The star was secretly diagnosed with facial cancer in 2018 before it returned on "several occasions".
He recently revealed he's taking time off to "get it sorted".
James explained how he shed the weight by cutting one drink out of his diet.
"Yeah. Well, fizzy drinks, I don't drink tea or coffee so fizzy drinks were always sort of my nemesis really and in the kitchen particularly," he told Loose Women.
In a bid to change things, James said he simply swapped to just drinking water.
"The minute I swapped to water, it was nearly three stone," he told the women.
