BBC's Saturday Kitchen host Matt Tebbutt found himself in hot water this weekend after an awkward on-air blunder forced him to issue an apology to viewers.
The incident occurred during the live broadcast when Tebbutt, known for his culinary expertise and charismatic presenting style, made an unexpected slip-up that left audiences stunned.
While the exact nature of the mistake hasn't been disclosed, sources suggest it was significant enough to prompt an immediate on-air apology from the presenter.
"I just want to say sorry for that earlier," Tebbutt said during the show, visibly flustered. "Sometimes things don't quite go to plan when we're live."
Viewers took to social media to share their reactions, with some expressing sympathy for the presenter while others found humour in the situation.
This isn't the first time Saturday Kitchen has faced live TV challenges. The popular cooking show, which airs on BBC One every Saturday morning, is known for its unpredictable nature, with chefs often having to think on their feet.
The BBC has yet to comment on whether the incident will lead to any changes in production protocols for future episodes.
Despite the blunder, the show continued with its usual mix of celebrity guests, cooking demonstrations and wine recommendations, proving that even live TV mishaps can't stop the kitchen from serving up entertainment.
