Irish TV star Donal Skehan was branded “hot” after taking over from Matt Tebbutt on Saturday Kitchen.
Matt usually hosts the BBC programme but was absent as it got under way on Saturday (May 18). It was confirmed that Donal would be filling in, with the star revealing he was “excited to be in the hot seat”.
Viewers were initially confused about the shake-up, posting messages on X asking where Matt was. But as Donal hit his stride, many seemed to be quite taken with the former Industry singer.

“If @matt_tebutt can’t do it then I think it’s better to just cancel the programme and maybe show the best bits programme instead,” said one. “It’s just not the same without Matt!” “If @matt_tebbutt is replaced for good, I’m boycotting this show,” stormed someone else.
