Nick Knowles has left The One Show viewers divided as he shared his “bold” pancake topping choice.
The former I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! contestant appeared on the famous BBC One green sofa on Tuesday (February 21) evening alongside Hollywood star Rita Wilson.
Both guests chatted to hosts Lauren Laverne and Jermaine Jenas about their upcoming projects but conversation quickly turned to Pancake Day.

Lauren asked: “Nick, many people right now will be tucking into their pancakes, it’s Pancake Day of course, but I hear you break with the traditional lemon and sugar.

The DIY SOS star replied: “Yes, gravy. It’s a bit cool I know.
Fellow guest Rita and presenter Lauren both said: “That’s bold.”
Justifying his controversial decision, Nick continued: “If you think about it its the same recipe as a batter mix for a Yorkshire Pudding so it’s only a flat Yorkshire Pudding.
Jermaine replied: “I don’t think people are going to see it that way but we move on.

Lauren added: “There’s a psychological barrier there that I just can’t get passed.
Nick replied: “My eight-year-old is having them with lemon and sugar this evening and thats how he likes them.”
Lauren joked: “He’s got his head screwed on.”
Joining in the conversation, Rita said: “You know in the US we have a store called the International House of Pancakes but I have to say I want to give a shout out to the waffles who are left out today.”
Unsurprisingly, Nick’s choice of pancake topping left viewers at home divided.
Taking to Twitter, one fan penned: “Nick Knowels putting gravy on his pancakes because they’re like Yorkshire puds… Absolute genius, what a hero! #TheOneShow”
Another added: “Why would you put gravy on pancakes?”
A third person said: “No no no it’s honey and lemon for me #theoneshow.”
At the end of the show, Jermaine read out a tweet supporting Nick’s choice leaving the television presenter baffled.
The One Show airs weeknights on BBC One at 7pm
