James Martin's Saturday Morning star Alysia Vasey has revealed she was sleeping on the sofa and left with just five bin bags of clothes following her divorce last year.

Known as the Yorkshire Forager, Alysia, 54, admitted the couple had split months ago this week, despite only getting married last year.

Alysia thanked fans for their loving support while explaining how her life has dramatically changed since Christmas.

She said: 'Thank you for all your support. I've managed to rebuild and come out the other end, it's just tough.

'I was left with five bin liners of clothes before Christmas, it's hard. So just reach out to everybody else because I'm not the only one going through it. There's just been massive support and it means the world.'

Alysia captioned the post: 'Five bin liners of clothes were all I were left with at 54-years-old a week before Christmas, I had just had to buy a tonne of coal, spent Nans bit of inheritance money on replacing two logburners, bought a new cooker, a new stand up fridge and everything in for Christmas.

'Thank you for all your support it means the world, and to all those going through what am going through especially, to those sleeping on a couch, to those trying to cope what's happening to them, to those who like me are trying to take small steps forward. I know it's hard, you didn't deserve it. None of us did.'

Alysia, who hasn't revealed the full name of her farmer husband, shared an emotional video with her Instagram followers this week, telling them: 'So this is a hard one. I feel like coming clean because there's no point wearing a wedding ring when your marriage is over.'

'And it has been since before Christmas. I know I haven't been married long.'

The star, who gave up her job as a teaching assistant to become a forager and regularly appears on ITV, said: 'I'm a big believer in love, marriage, everything. But I just got taken for a ride. Got all the money taken from me.

'Everything. Absolutely everything. It's been a struggle. Absolute struggle these last eight, nine months. I didn't expect it.'

'I feel a bit embarrassed by it all, but it is what it is. So I'm on my own and I didn't expect that,' she then admitted.

'Anyway, I feel like I've come clean now, so it is what it is, isn't it? Anyway, goodnight. I hope you're all well.'

In the accompanying caption she added that she has 'lived unimaginably hard times, that I have put a brave face on. It's been very tough for me the last 4 years, I've managed to break free, but lost just about everything.'

She wrote: 'I'm still coming to terms with everything and hopefully one day will find the peace and love that I deserve.'

In February 2025, Alysia revealed she was recently married on James Martin's show, excitedly telling the host that she would be going by her new married surname of Greenwood.

James told her: 'I am not going to get the hang of this. I have been calling you Alysia Vasey for years now.'

Alysia then added: 'Better foraging name, Greenwood!'

In a January 2024 post on X she shared a photo of her partner's proposal and her engagement ring as she gushed: 'My love proposed to me on New Year's Eve... and I said Yes!'

'Looking forward to spending a lifetime together... (what's left of it knocking on a bit) an exciting year ahead!'

Alysia had posted photos of her travels with her husband in the months before the split, including a holiday snap from Sorrento in August 2025.

Alysia, who also appears on Countryfile, makes a living supplying some of the country’s top Michelin starred restaurants with her foraged finds.

She was encouraged to pursue the unusual career after a childhood spent foraging with her grandfather.

'Every weekend me and my brother Adrian would go for walks in the woods and on the moors with our grandad as he searched for plants, nuts, mushrooms and fruit,' she told the Yorkshire Post.

'I don’t ever remember him teaching me exactly, but I copied him and listened and he would test my knowledge, correcting me if I went wrong.'

'Thanks to grandad by the time I was seven or eight I could identify every tree, plant, flower, animal and bird that we came across. I knew which plants, nuts, berries and mushrooms were safe to eat and which had to be left alone.'

She later learned while researching her 2020 book The Yorkshire Forager: A Wild Food Survival Journey that her Polish grandfather's foraging came out of necessity when he was living in the woods, hiding from the Nazis during the Second World War.

With her first husband Chris and the help of her mum, Vasey launched her business Yorkshire Foragers in 2010.
