James Martin's Saturday Morning returned this weekend after its summer break.
However things got slightly uncomfortable during the return episode after James had to issue a warning to his guest amidst the culinary chaos.
The TV chef, 52, welcomed restaurateur Asma Khan to his ITV kitchen as the pair cooked together.
Yet as cooking commenced the two chefs seemed to clash a bit as Asma grew worried about her crackling food in a nearby pan.
Trying to reassure her, James interjected: 'Don't worry, I'm on it,' as Asma quickly hit back: 'I'm not stressing you out. I'm just kind of looking to see what's going to happen.'

Diverting the chat, James then asked: 'Do you want this peeled? ' as she replied: 'No, it doesn't have to be peeled.'
'I wouldn't peel it,' agreed James as Asma added quipped: 'No, it's not worth the hassle and there's also a limit on how much I can torture you on your own show.'
The return of his Saturday morning cooking show comes after it was revealed James has taken his relationship with new girlfriend Kim Johnson to the next level by enjoying a romantic holiday in France.
The former Saturday Kitchen host, was pictured at bed and breakfast Le Jardin de Rose with personal trainer Kim this week, seven months after he separated from former partner Louise Davies.
Smiling with his arm around Kim, James wore a denim shirt and navy shorts for the couple's relaxing break, where they visited the old country house described as 'ideal' for sightseeing, fishing and walking.
James started dating Kim following his split from long-term girlfriend Louise, who he was with for 12 years but never married after admitting getting hitched doesn't 'interest' him in the slightest.
Kim, who's the ex-wife of millionaire tech entrepreneur Arun Nayar, 59, wore a floral dress as she hugged James during their rustic stay.
Bed and breakfast owners Min and Barry were so overwhelmed by James staying at their establishment, they posted their appreciation on Facebook.

They wrote: 'Le Jardin de Rose may only be a very small quiet side in semi rural France but we have fabulous guests. Thank you James Martin.'
The couple also posed for photographs with James outside the quaint house, which is surrounded by wheat fields, wooded areas and rivers.
A stay at the hotel costs a maximum of €89 per person, per night which includes a private bathroom and continental breakfast in the morning.
