“Stay as kind as you always are, tough when needed and true to your Yorkshire principles. X.”

Before celebrating the national day, James had taken to Instagram to address the leaked audio of him ranting at staff for 10 minutes in 2018.

In the clip, the chef could be heard swearing 42 times as he was left furious over a drain which was blocked at his home while filming for James Martin’s Saturday Morning.

James explained in a post: “I would like to publicly and sincerely apologise to the crew involved in this incident, as I did at the time.

“… The end of 2017 was one of the most fraught and difficult periods of my life. I was dealing with the death of my last living grandparent, my grandfather, and on account of work commitments, I could not attend his funeral.

“Later that month I was burgled at night by a team of masked men, who entered my house while my partner Louise was at home alone and I was away working.

“I was devastated that she had to go through that alone.”

He added: “On top of this I was then diagnosed with cancer on my face and I had to have surgery, which I couldn’t do until two days before Christmas when we had finished filming. Since then it has returned on several occasions and I have to have regular treatments.

“I was in a very emotional state, and when after filming in early January 2018 I discovered my home had been flooded while filming, I was extremely upset.

“I can only say I am human and following a build-up of personal life pressure, I admit that I overreacted regarding the damage to my home.”
