Saturday Kitchen plunged into complete chaos as star tells guest to 'sit down'

Saturday Kitchen host Matt Tebbutt and some of his guests were seen laughing on the latest episode after an accident involving a lime led to further disruption in the BBC studio.

The show returned on Saturday morning for its first episode of the new year with a pre-recorded episode. It saw Matt, 50, joined by a host of guests in the studio, including fellow chefs Dr Saliha Mahmood-Ahmed, 36, and Adam Byatt, 48.

They prepared some dishes in the kitchen for the rest of the group, which included food writer Gurdeep Loyal and wine writer Helen McGinn. Jason Donovan also featured in the episode, with him having joined them as a celebrity guest.

Towards the beginning of the episode, host Matt was seen helping prepare three breakfast dishes, including a mango-based pudding, with Dr Saliha. At one point, he was asked to add some lime juice to a bowl of other ingredients. As Matt squeezed two halves of lime, one flew out of his hand and seemingly went on the floor. Laughter was heard in the studio before Matt teased to guest Dr Saliha about it: "Sorry I'm just throwing it ... I only want half a lime in this if that's alright with you because I threw the other one."

Adam, who had been sitting with the other guests, headed towards the counter, seemingly to pick up the lime. He ended up knocking over a glass of water as he tried to help, before picking it up and appearing to put the lime in a bin.

Matt said: "Oh this is going well!" He teased to guest Adam: "Okay, thanks for that. Thanks for the help." The host added: "Right, let's forget that." He then noticed Adam stood up again and commented before laughing: "What ... sit down!"

Dr Saliha carried on with her tutorial and asked Matt for an update on the mixture in the bowl. After being asked if it was "thick," Matt said whilst seemingly drying the counter with a tea towel: "I don't know. [...] I'm mopping up water."

Saturday Kitchen continues next Saturday (January 13) on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 10am. You can catch up on previous episodes now through the streaming platform.
