Saturday Kitchen Live fans were left swooning over guest star Idris Elba as the top-notch actor graced the latest episode of the beloved cookery show. Known for his smouldering role in BBC’s hit series Luther, Elba joined host Matt Tebbutt on November 9.
The screen icon was in good company with fellow guests Helen McGinn, Alexina Anatole, Carmen O’Neal, Marcus Wareing and Amanda Ross. The 52-year-old heartthrob revealed his ultimate foodie pleasure: apple crumble with ice cream, and his absolute no-no: marmite, kale and tofu.
While his culinary preferences sparked debate among the show’s panel, viewers couldn’t peel their eyes away from Elba’s charm, reports the Express.
One admirer gushed on Twitter: “Oh My Goodness Idris Elba, yum lol.” (sic)

Meanwhile, a fourth quipped: “Apparently there’s some cooking happening on #saturdaykitchen today. No idea because Mr Elba is proving rather distracting.” (sic)

Right now, he’s diving deep into a hard-hitting BBC doc on knife crime, slated to hit screens in 2025.
