The Top Gear alum was a cooking novice when he first started filming his Prime Video series, which documented his culinary journey. And it seems all that practice has paid off as James is now an accomplished chef - even going on to release a best-selling cookery book off the back of his series.

And sadly after two seasons, "James is now quite a good cook, so it’s not a gag he can continue to flog.” The first Oh Cook! series landed on the streaming giant back in 2020 and the title is a play on his famous catchphrase Oh C**k! used during his time hosting his motoring series. Each episode saw him learning the basics of how to cook up a particular type of cuisine or meals, including a roast dinner and a curry.
