Matt Tebbutt has a ‘proud dad’ moment
Saturday Kitchen presenter Matt Tebbutt went off script and shut down the show to share some personal news.
As the camera panned on to the popular chef near the end of the episode, he flashed his mobile phone and said: “I’ve just had a text from my daughter.”
Grinning from ear to ear and forgetting all about his presenting duties he announced: “Proud dad moment. She got a first at university.”
As the guests on the show including Countryfile and Strictly Come Dancing favourite Anita Rani, who was on the show promoting her new book, applauded and cheered he added: “So well done Jess congratulations.”
He then apologised for taking over the show with his news. “Thanks for that,” the clearly emotional 49-year-old said.

“Yeah sorry, I have just taken over TV for my own gain. Right, let’s get back to the script.”
Viewers loved the emotional scene and took to Twitter to comment on the touching moment.
@StephenCHorsman commented: “Great show as ever. And huge congratulations to your daughter, Matt. Well done on achieving a first.”
@NicolaTaylor248 loved everything about the show including Matt’s announcement: “@SaturdayKitchen fantastic show. Loving the fishcakes, but loving the chef from Syria even more. What a modest warm chap! Well done to Matt’s daughter!”

A user with the handle @danielcrutchley tweeted: “@SaturdayKitchen Matt is so proud of his daughter he had trouble staying composed there. Well done for getting a first.”
Meanwhile @lisa_tibbs simply said: “Congratulations to your daughter!”
However, the touching moment didn’t give everyone the warm and fuzzies. @TourreBakahai couldn’t hide their disdain on the social media platform.
“Sorry, but #SaturdayKitchen is now a parody of a naff middle class dinner party – self satisfied, cheesy people telling unfunny jokes and bragging about their new books and how well their kids are doing at college. Time for a revamp please,” they wrote.
Matt has two children with wife Lisa. Jess and a son called Henry. The family lives in Monmouthshire, Wales. He took over hosting duties on Saturday Kitchen in 2017 following the departure of James Martin.
Saturday Kitchen is on BBC One on Saturdays at 10am.
