James Martin has taken his relationship with new girlfriend Kim Johnson to the next level by enjoying a romantic holiday in France.
The Saturday Kitchen host, 52, 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.
The TV chef, who enjoys holidaying with his camper van, appeared to take a break from his busy schedule to spend some alone time with Kim amid their new romance.
James went public with Kim in March as the couple were pictured shopping together in London’s Mayfair.
A spokesperson for James confirmed to MailOnline that he and TV producer Louise parted ways in December last year.
They had met on the set of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? in 2011 but had decided not to get married during their 12-year relationship.

Kim is the former wife of businessman Arun, who was married to actress Elizabeth Harley, 59, from 2007 to 2011.
The personal trainer wed Arun in 2016 and they divorced the following year but have remained friends following their separation.
James, who also dated James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, 64, has previously spoken about not wanting to get married.
In 2019, he said: ‘No, it doesn’t interest me in the slightest, mainly because I’ve catered for so many weddings, really.
‘I admire people who do it, that’s fine, but I’m quite happy. I don’t need to spend 60 grand on a day, no, I’m more than happy thanks.’
James met ex-flame Barbara when she paid £18,000 to have him cook a meal for her as part of a charity auction in 2001 when he was aged 29.
The pair clicked right away and James cooked for her again at her birthday party.
James, who is 12 years Barbara’s junior, insisted the age gap was never an issue in their relationship.
Writing in the Daily Mail, he said: ‘The age difference never appeared to be a problem. I’ve always liked independent women, we both had strong opinions and plenty to say for ourselves, so life was never boring.’
