Saturday Kitchen host Matt Tebbutt has appeared to sign up to join the star-studded cast of a beloved BBC gameshow live on air.
During this week’s (October 21) edition of the morning cookery show, the TV chef welcomed comedian and Weakest Link host Romesh Ranganathan onto the show alongside food and wine expert Helen McGinn. It didn’t take long before the TV chef poked fun at the food writer ahead of her appearance on the evening gameshow next week.
But the author soon got her own back when she joked that Matt was actually quite a huge fan of the show and secretly wanted to sign up for the programme. Helen chuckled: “You’re quite a big fan of the show aren’t you? And actually – he doesn’t like to talk about it – but Matt really, really, really wants to do the Weakest Link.”
Shocked at her admission, Matt immediately shut down her claims, arguing: “What? No, no, no, no, no, no. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. This wasn’t rehearsed, this wasn’t rehearsed. I absolutely would have said no I do not want to do this.”
It was at this point that Romesh addressed camera one when he announced that the TV chef would indeed be joining the next series of the show. He told viewers: "Oh that's so good, well I can exclusively reveal here, Matt is going to be on the next series of The Weakest Link."
The comic went on to urge viewers to keep the presenter to his word and tweet him online to remind him to accept the offer. He added: "If he tries to back out of it, please do tweet him, just get in touch any way you can. Use the hashtag #MattIsntTheWeakestLink, something like that.
"Let's get him on, okay? Let's get behind this, I'm so pleased for you," Romesh chuckled. "Do you know what? When I came in I thought, 'He's buzzing for some reason, he's got an energy to him'.
"And now I know, listen I'm happy to make your dreams come true," he joked, as he wrapped his arm around the host and beamed to the camera.
