James Martin cheekily snaps at co-star over basil incident

After showing his viewers how to make his easy cornflake and chipotle fried chicken, Paul stepped up to the plate.

Paul explained he was going to be making a romesco sauce with a mushroom and pork sausage, and boiled egg.

Confirming to James that it wasn’t a Cornish Scotch egg, Paul got to work and was soon finishing up the dish to showcase on the plate.

Putting on the final touches, Paul explained: “We’ve got the mix and we have put all these seasons in and creating all those layers in there.

“And then if you just take some little leaves of basil and just throw them on the top, if you can do the same on the other two please mate.”

Picking up the basil, James began to garnish the scotch eggs but decided to do his own thing, leaving Paul to snap at him.

Paul continued his explanation: “And then again with all the leftover basil we just make a little oil, which again just goes beautiful with the…

“And that is it but why are we going around the outside?”

James joked: “Because I think it looks nicer, life is too short,” to which Paul quipped: “It would have been easy…”

James shouted: “Just put the oil around the thing,” however Paul was adamant about getting his point across and said: “Would have been easy if you listened to what I said in the first place.”

Wanting to make his guest chef happy, James took the basil off of the plate and placed it where he was originally asked to.
