James Martin would leave Saturday Morning ITV show to be a vet 'I would give it up'

He said: “I’m within two miles of the moors here, and there’s a lot of farmers here.

“It’s bliss as far as I’m concerned. Yorkshire farmers are Yorkshire farmers, they are the salt of the earth, and it’s a privilege.”

Talking to the Yorkshire Post, he also added: “Leaving Skeldale Veterinary Centre in Thirsk after 40 years, initially working as a veterinary assistant to James Herriot and for the last 20 years as senior partner, I am now working part-time at Grace Lane Veterinary Practice in Kirkbymoorside, a beautiful market town.

“My daily routine is very similar, though, and I like the fact that I have retained some of the longstanding clients who have appeared on The Yorkshire Vet over the last seven years and have also been introduced to many new ones.

“I think it’s obvious to viewers that the warmth, humour and resilience of Yorkshire people, particularly farmers, still shines through.”

James Martin’s Saturday Morning airs Saturday from 9:25am on ITV.
