**London, September 14** – James Martin’s “Saturday Morning” cooking show was briefly disrupted this weekend when the host was heard coughing after tasting a cocktail mixed by guest mixologist Merlin Griffiths.

The incident occurred during a segment featuring Griffiths and co-host Suzi Perry, known for her work on “The Gadget Show” and “Moto GP,” as they experimented with wild fruit infusions for classic cocktails.

After tasting a particularly strong concoction, Martin was heard coughing off-screen, prompting a concerned query from Perry, “Are you alright James?”. He admitted to downing the drink quickly, with a chuckle from Perry and fellow guests, including chefs Romy Gill and Paul Foster.

The segment also saw a loud blender mishap as Perry fed apples into the machine, prompting a light-hearted apology and reassurance from Martin.

Despite the occasional hiccup, the group successfully created a Raspberry Appletini, a non-alcoholic British Bambini, and a Blackberry Calpis, much to the delight of the studio audience and viewers at home.

Martin ended the segment with a hearty endorsement of Griffiths’ skills, calling him a “genius”.
