Sunday Brunch hosts Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer were told off by Dermot O’Leary live on air.
During the latest episode of the Channel 4 show on Sunday (May 19), the This Morning presenter held up a lime and brought up the fact fellow guest Kiell Smith-Bynoe didn’t like the fruit but had still been served it by the show presenters anyway.
Former X Factor host Dermot pointed out: “By the way, I always feel very welcome on this show… can we talk about this? This poor guy, he said he hates lemon and limes… do you want him to come back? Poor guy, it’s a lime, he said he doesn’t like limes.”

Simon and Tim were lost for words as Kiell chimed in: “Seven times I’ve been here.” Simon asked: “No?” to which Kiell asked: “Huh? The rice is very nice” as he decided to let the chef off the hook.

Tim added: “But everything has got lemon and lime in it,” to which Kiell agreed: “I know! It’s difficult. It’s like being scared of pigeons which I also am, it stops you getting about.” Simon asked: “Why are you scared of pigeons,” as actor Kiell replied: “Look at them!”

Elsewhere, in the programme, Dermot discussed working with his This Morning co-host Alison Hammond on the ITV daytime show. He said it was “like working with your sister”, as he gushed over “how fun” it was to be around her, before adding that he wakes up on a Friday “and can’t wait to work with her”.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer was also a guest on the show and even showed off his cooking skills by bravely making tandoori salmon live on air. Introducing the politician to the show, hosts Tim and Simon told viewers watching at home it was Sir Keir’s first time on the show and couldn’t help but make a joke.

Tim asked: “What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be on the BBC with Laura Kuenssberg?.” Keir added that he thought Sunday Brunch would be “nicer” but the hosts warned him he would be “getting grilled”.
Sir Keir’s appearance on Sunday Brunch seemingly caused a stir online. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: “If politicians coming on #sundaybrunch think it makes them popular…..then they’ve obviously underestimated this audience.” Another added: “Disappointing to see Keir Starmer on The #SundayBrunch …. he’s desperate… most viewers on dont do politics or vote…but i maybe wrong.”
A third person posted: “Kier Starmer on #Sundaybrunch ? Trying to be relevant and cool? I hate politicians.” A fourth social media user said: “Blimey, Kier Starmer doing #SundayBrunch.” Keir spoke to Tim and Simon after cooking up a storm in the kitchen and then he left the studio to go and support his beloved Arsenal.
Sunday Brunch airs on Channel 4 at 9.30am weekly
