TV chef James Martin has apologised for causing a group of cyclists “sheer terror” as he test drove a sports car.
Martin, presenter of BBC One’s Saturday Kitchen, wrote in the Mail on Sunday that he had intentionally forced them into a hedge as he turned a corner.
It was the best thing he had “ever seen in my rear-view mirror”, he said.

Not much I can say on this really, other than what a total cock! He should read this blog: Bianchista writes:
To James Martin….
As per your remarks in your now infamous column, i should just like you to look at the below picture of me. Look at it and tell me you still find your comments were appropriate and funny.
A driver pulled out on me recklessly, and as a result i pretty much lost all of my top row of teeth, I had a broken nose, and badly bruised legs and arms.
You see… whilst it may be funny for you to ’scare us’ by beeping your horn or driving at a close vicinity, it wasnt so funny for me to hit the tarmac, it wasnt so funny to be unable to touch solid food and be in considerable pain, and it actually wasnt that funny when i had to see my mum and watch her cry.
So Mr Martin, I should honestly hope that no-one would ever purposefully endanger your children, as a driver did to me. They, and yourself….. might just fail to see the funny side then.
