Saturday Kitchen’s Matt Tebutt was nowhere to be seen during the latest instalment of the morning show.
The 50-year-old chef usually presents the BBC show every week but he was replaced by Irish television personality Donal Skehan on Saturday (May 18) morning.
BBC Breakfast presenters Charlie Stayt and Nina Warhust confirmed the show shake-up when they crossed over to Donal live on air to find out what was coming up on the programme.

Charlie said: “Donal is taking over on Saturday Kitchen quite literally. You’ve taken over the place.” An Donal replied: “I’m quite excited to be in the hot seat. They’ve let me back in and I have the keys to the kitchen so good morning.” He went on to reveal he’s being joined in the studio by Sabrina Ghayour, Jack Stein, Eddie Izzard and Olly Smith.
