Peter Wright on taking over cooking after wife's broken leg
Peter Wright, the beloved star of The Yorkshire Vet, made a heartrending confession about his wife during his stint on James Martin's Saturday Morning.
The popular vet opened up about when he had to leave his family home to embark on a project in India. He also gave viewers a glimpse into his personal life, revealing that his wife, Lin, had unfortunately suffered a broken ankle and wrist.
James asked Peter about his culinary skills, asking, "I've been told you don't venture into the kitchen very often. Is that right?" Peter responded, "Well, that's maybe a bit of an understatement."
Peter went on to explain: "Lin, sadly, last year, broke her ankle and wrist, and she was bed-bound. She couldn't bear weight for a considerable time, and she wanted to bring the bed down to the kitchen," reports Yorkshire Live.
"That was my first mistake. At that point, very shortly after that, two things, one is I'm no carer, and two is I'm no cook.

"Well, what happened was I'd be beavering away. I mean, it was out of sight because there's a breakfast bar in front of it, right, the bed was on the other side, and there she is, 'That doesn't sound right. That's boiling too hard. I can hear it. You've got to listen as well as watch'."
Peter concluded, "And so things went from bad to worse and diplomatic relations got written off on numerous occasions."
Shifting the conversation to Peter's trip to India, James asked: "Tell me about India, then, because India is a fantastic, fascinating place as well.
"What made you go to India? What was the defining factor with it? Is it a place that's always fascinated you?"
Peter responded, "We have been as tourists on several occasions in Mumbai, and we've been to the Donegal triangle, which was absolutely fascinating.
"But to go and film, there was something I just did not want to miss because it is such a fascinating place.
"One of our younger vets [from Huddersfield] is of Indian descent, and so he and his father have a family farm in Punjab, and I was invited to go out to spend time on the farm there. And I thought this, 'I just cannot miss'."
James Martin's Saturday Morning is available to watch on ITVX.
