James Martin, 47, was joined on the ITV show by former Homes Under The Hammer host Lucy Alexander, 48, and former X Factor host Kate Thornton, 46. The trio spoke candidly about their careers and family lives before Lucy claimed she would leave the show.
As the TV chef prepared a dish for the two presenters, talk turned to Lucy’s love of buying and renovating properties.
The expert revealed she was 16-years-old and had saved up £10,000 which she used to purchase her first property in London.
“Dad was the guarantor when your dad could be the guarantor in those days,” Lucy explained.
James asked: “Is that what set you up for your love of property?”

She replied: “Erm…I suppose so. As a kid, my parents would always say, ‘Oh, we’re just going to get out of the car to have a look at a house.’
“So forever and a day we were always viewing and looking at properties as children.”
The BBC favourite then jokingly threatened she would leave James’ show if he didn’t allow her to have a look around his home where he films Saturday Morning.
Lucy chimed: “Even today coming to see you, I was like, ‘If you don’t show me around your house I’m going’.”
James chuckled: “Is that right? You’ve already had a look around. I know you have.”
Former X Factor host Kate, said: “We’ve literally been in every toilet.”
The TV chef chimed: “I’ve spotted them on CCTV wondering around, anyway.”
The former Homes Under The Hammer star later joked she also attempted to “steal a vase” from the TV chef’s home after having a look around.
