James Martin has hit out at lockdown moaners.

The 47-year-old chef insisted he has no time for whinging about the restrictions placed on people by the government due to the Covid-19 pandemic and he is working flat out from 6am to 7pm.
He told The Sun's TV Mag: "It's a bit surreal, isn't it? But I'm not one to sit and mope around.
"I get up a 6am, have a shower, get changed - and I mean properly changed, not moping around in bloody pyjamas - and then I have a list of things every day to do, and I don't finish until 7pm."
He has also made pasta for all of the residents in his village.
He said: "I grabbed the pasta machine from the restaurant, a big industrial thing, managed to get a load of flour and eggs and made 600kg of pasta, enough for six to eight weeks for my whole village. I put it outside the gate every week and when the villagers come out for their daily walk they can come and grab some. Some of them have given me stuff back - one dropped some wild garlic, which I made pesto out of and put back out there."
And James' restaurant The Kitchen has been working to help with vegetable deliveries around the country.
James said: "Wellocks, for instance are now delivering 11,000 boxes of veg to people around the UK, which we helped with, and TRUEfoods had 2,000 pies they wanted to give away and asked me where I wanted them to go, so we sent them to hospices for the elderly and kids."
