BBC Saturday Kitchen viewers 'switch off' as they issue same complaint about show

Fans who tuned into the latest edition of Saturday Kitchen appeared to issue similar complaints as they vented their frustation about the "noisy" show.

Presenter Matt Tebbutt was back hosting the weekend culinary series alongside talented foodies and TV stars.

On today's show (April 26), Matt Tebbutt was joined by chefs Elliott Grover, Seema Pankhania and EastEnders star Adam Woodyatt, as well as actors Marisha Wallace and Billy Porter. Meanwhile, drinks expert Helen McGinn gave her take on beverages.

But minutes into the episode, viewers were quick to air their disappointment as they seemed to think the guests were far too loud for the morning programme.

Heading over to X, formerly known as Twitter, in their droves, viewers shared their grievances.

One social media user wrote: "Time to turn Saturday Kitchen off already." Another penned: "It's too much loudness for a Saturday morning."

A third also said: "Oh well, what can you expect, another noisy." While a fourth viewer mentioned that they were prepared to switch over to a rival programme and said: "Read all these comments while catching up late. Less than 5 mins in have turned over to James Martin."

Another viewer also added: "I had to turn #SaturdayKitchen off. I can't do with all that shouting."

Despite the complaints, some viewers loved the guests on the show. Offering an opposing view, one viewer said: "I love Billy Porter. That is all."

While another said: "Loving Marisha Wallace and Billy Porter on #saturdaykitchen this morning. Their show at the Kit Kat club is phenomenally brilliant."

Elsewhere in today's episode, presenter Matt was forced to apologise to viewers after Billy accidentally let a "naughty word" slip.

While talking about British cuisine, theatre and TV star Billy recalled a conversation he previously had with a friend and used the word "sh**e".

Picking up on the blunder, Matt quickly stepped in and said: "Apologies if anyone heard a naughty word there. We apologise for that."

Saturday Kitchen airs Saturdays at 10am on BBC One.
