Another added: "Great line up on #sundaybrunch this morning." A third said: "Brilliant lineup today especially Frank mentioning #thelovelyeggs #sundaybrunch."
Simon Rimmer's Return After Break
Simon had been absent from the previous week's programme, with radio presenter Yinka Bokinni stepping in as a replacement. The live show, which runs for three hours every week, typically sees Simon cooking with Tim and other famous chefs, alongside interviews and drink tastings.
Last Sunday (July 19), Yinka, who presents on Capital Xtra and BBC Radio 1, filled in just days after announcing her second pregnancy. At the start of that show, she explained Simon was on holiday, saying: "Simon is on his holibobs, so you've got me today!" Tim surprised her with a Sunday Brunch baby grow, to which she joked about the size.
Yinka had previously announced her guest-hosting role on Instagram, writing: "I'm baaaack baby! When @rimmersimon goes away... YINKA comes to play. I'll be co-hosting this weeks episode alongside @timlovejoy_official this Sunday - catch me at 10am."
Guests During Yinka's Episode
During the July 19 broadcast, Yinka and Tim were joined by chef Tom Kerridge, as well as Joe Pasquale, Kerry Ellis, Calam Lynch, Fiona Allen and Baby Queen.
Sunday Brunch airs weekly on Channel 4 at 10am.
