Saturday Kitchen viewers were left astonished by the appearance of TV legend Sir Lenny Henry, who joined host Matt Tebbutt on the BBC cooking programme. The comedian, aged 67, appeared on the Saturday morning show on June 20, where he assisted with cooking and entertained the audience with his jokes. However, many viewers were particularly struck by how young he looked.
Viewers React to Lenny Henry's Youthful Looks
Social media buzzed with comments about Lenny's appearance. One fan posted on X: "Wow Lenny 67 years old looks 10 years younger." Another wrote: "Lenny looks good for 67." A third admirer declared: "Lenny Henry is a legend and I'll die on that hill!" On Instagram, a viewer commented: "Great show, so funny. Love Sir Lenny." Others called the episode "hilarious" and "a laugh a minute," with one adding: "Loved the show."
Lenny Henry Discusses New Tour
During the episode, Lenny promoted his upcoming tour, Still At Large. He explained to Matt Tebbutt: "It's about when I was 16 and 17 and I was at school, there was quite a lot dodgy stuff going on. I was bullied at school for quite a long time, and there was a lot of sexism and homophobia. It is sort of talking about how some of these things are still at large and still in play." He added: "But the show isn't just about that. It's about family and friends, and it's about love." He quipped: "And it's about where I am now in the world post the knighthood, post being the face of Premier Inn."
Lenny also revealed that his shows will include a Q&A segment, allowing the audience to ask anything. He admitted it was a "risky" move, noting: "I haven't done a tour for 15 years. It has been fun writing it. It has been fun putting it together. And it's going to be a vibe, I think."
Saturday Kitchen airs on BBC One at 10am on Saturdays.
