Sunday Brunch's Tim Lovejoy scolded by co-star for awkwardly 'forgetting' guest
Tim Lovejoy was called out by for seemingly forgetting that he'd co-hosted a show with a Sunday Brunch guest.
Sunday Brunch viewers were left cringing when host Tim Lovejoy completely forgot he had previously worked with guest Kellie Shirley.
The awkwardness began just minutes into the show as Tim and co-host Simon Rimmer settled on the sofa to discuss the day's events with actress and TV personality Kellie.
Kellie, known for her roles in hit series like Casualty where she played psych liaison nurse Sophia Peters, also had a stint presenting alongside Tim over 15 years ago.
Back in 2009, Kellie filled in for Amanda Hamilton on BBC Two's Something for the Weekend while Amanda was on maternity leave, co-hosting with Tim. A fact that seemed to have slipped his mind during the live Sunday Brunch interview.
To add to the embarrassment, Tim introduced her as "Kellie Kay," mixing up her name right from the start, despite claiming she was a regular on the show and well-known to him and Simon, reports the Express.
He greeted her with: "We are now joined by Kellie Kay, this is your seventh time on the show." Kellie graciously overlooked the blunder, simply responding: "Thank you."
But things got even more uncomfortable when Tim mentioned their past collaboration, asking: "You probably did Something For The Weekend, didn't you?"
Kellie appeared bewildered and was not about to let Tim get off the hook this time as she corrected, saying: "I did, we presented it together."
Tim, apparently earnest and forgetful of the collaboration, asked: "Did we?" eliciting an exasperated "ohh" from co-host Simon Rimmer.
Attempting to salvage the situation, Tim mentioned: "And Soccer AM, you were on that a lot as well." To which the TV personality replied: "Yes, now that's going back twenty years."
Kellie responded with the same answer again, telling him: "Yeah twenty years." She then burst into fits of laughter as Simon jumped in, scolding Tim: "At least you remember that Tim, hey."
To give Tim his due, during the period Kellie filled in for Amanda's maternity leave on Something For The Weekend, there were numerous guest hosts like Jenni Falconer and Louise Redknapp, potentially explaining why his memory of Kellie may have lapsed.
Sunday Brunch airs every Sunday on Channel 4, from 10am.

Horror fans 'seriously creeped out' as unhinged gets Channel 4 premiere
It can be quite a challenging task trying to remember viral dance routines from TikTok. With every passing week, it feels like there's a new song and matching movement to learn. So, if you're struggling to remember why Universal Pictures' M3GAN sent the internet into a frenzy in 2022, then fear not—Channel 4 has you covered. Airing on Saturday night for the enjoyment of horror fans, this twisted film about a seemingly sweet AI doll became an instant success three years ago after it capitalised on viral attention. The meme in question was created after fans tried to recreate the doll's eerie dance routine. Writing on X tonight as the sci-fi flick launched on the small screen at 10pm, @WestBromEL said: 'I'm watching M3GAN on @Channel4, it's seriously creepy.' @Mixer4everx added: 'Watching m3gan on channel 4. I love this movie.' Written by Akela Cooper, the film follows an artificially intelligent doll who develops self-awareness and becomes hostile toward anyone who comes between her and her human companion. Designed by Gemma, who is played by Get Out's Allison Williams, M3GAN goes from simply being able to listen, watch, and learn to being a full-blown killing machine. In the first week it was released, the somewhat comedic horror grossed nearly £24.9million, well above its predictions of £14million. Since, M3GAN has acquired an impressive 93% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer, with thousands flooding the site with glowing reviews. And for those keen for more, fear not, as last month, it was revealed that a sequel, M3GAN 2.0, is going to be released soon. The plot will follow M3GAN as she is being rebuilt to combat a humanoid military robot created using M3GAN's technology that is attempting an AI takeover. Its cast will star Williams once more, as well as Jenna Davis, Ivanna Sakhno, and Violet McGraw, hitting cinemas on June 27. Additionally, it has also previously been announced that M3GAN will be getting a further spin-off, but with a more sensual twist. Blumhouse and Atomic Monster are joining forces for the third M3GAN instalment, a film that 'expands the universe' and is described as an 'erotic thriller'. A synopsis for the upcoming film reads: 'A man acquires an Artificially Intelligent android to cope with the loss of his recently deceased wife. In an attempt to create a truly sentient partner, he inadvertently turns a harmless lovebot into a deadly soulmate. 'The film is in the tradition of the 90s domestic thrillers but with a modern, technological twist.' Set to be released on January 2, 2026, it will be directed by Kate Dolan, famed for the chilling Irish folk tale You Are Not My Mother. This comes after M3GAN star Williams spoke to the Metro about the film and her fear of scary movies, despite garnering status as a Scream Queen herself. More Trending She said: 'The truth is I have a really low tolerance for horror, meaning when I watch a scary movie, it affects my sleep for a while. 'For real. So some of my favourites are my favourites, but they're stuck in time because I've been too scared to watch them again.' View More » M3GAN is available to watch on Channel 4. Got a story?

Jon Richardson 'signs up to huge Channel 4 show' despite 'quitting comedy'
TV star Jon Richardson has reportedly signed up to a hit Channel 4 show despite giving up comedy for a very different career after his divorce from Lucy Beaumont Comedian Jon Richardson is said to have signed up to take part in a popular Channel 4 show after "quitting comedy". The TV star issued a surprise announcement earlier this year where he revealed he was changing careers. His unexpected move came just months after his split from wife of nine years Lucy Beaumont. Jon and fellow comedian Lucy starred in their hit series Meet the Richardsons, but were forced to quit following their divorce. In April, Jon revealed he was quitting comedy despite his huge success to become a teacher. However, he later revealed not all was as it seemed as he explained that he'd only be acting as a teacher for a role in Waterloo Road. In another surprise move Jon has reportedly landed another TV role. He is now said to have signed up to take part in Celebrity Bake Off for their next Stand Up to Cancer campaign. A source said: 'Bosses are over the moon that they signed up Jon. He is hilarious, so will bring the laughs to the tent, and he's hugely popular with viewers." "It's been a tough year for Jon following his split from Lucy, so this has given him some light relief and it's all for charity, so that's an added bonus," they added to the Sun. Posting on social media earlier this year, Jon made his bombshell revelation. He said: 'I just thought I'd give you a little update. I don't really do social media updates, and I'll tell you why - because I don't think anyone cares. "But I have a little bit of news. I've obviously been taking a little bit of a break from stand-up and it's really made me… want to carry on taking a break from stand-up.' He added: 'I've been thinking a lot about a diary entry that I found from 1997.' An excerpt of his old diary then popped on screen, as the BBC Radio 6 star explained: 'It's this one. I was 14 years old, it says although I would love to be a stand-up comedian, I'll probably end up being a teacher. And I've been thinking a lot about that.' Jon revealed: 'I've loved being a comedian, it was absolutely the right choice. But I've decided it would've been nice to try the other option, so that's exactly what I'm gonna do.' The comedian shared that he'd already accepted a teaching job, stating: 'I've been doing some training, I've taken a teaching position. I will update you as and when I can. but that's all from me for now, just to let you know where I've been. I'll keep you posted.' Jon and Lucy tied the knot in April 2015, and share eight-year-old daughter Elsie. At the time of their break-up, a joint statement read: "We have jointly and amicably made the difficult decision to divorce and go our separate ways. "As our only priority is managing this difficult transition for our daughter, we would ask that our privacy is respected at this sensitive time to protect her well-being. We will be making no further comment. Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont." In September it was revealed the pair had come to an agreement in their divorce payout as Jon handed Lucy an eye-watering amount. He gave Lucy a whopping £1.625 million. Lucy is also ready to make a return to TV, having signed up to take part in the first celebrity edition of The Traitors.

ITV The Chase awkward moment as celebrity guest makes epic blunder
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A celebrity edition of ITV's The Chase turned hilarious when Paralympic star Hollie Arnold made a side-splitting error in the cash builder round. Joined by her former I'm A Me Out of Here! campmates, including AJ Pritchard, Giovanna Fletcher, and Russell Watson, they faced off with Paul Sinha - The Sinnerman - in hopes of winning funds for charity. The moment that had everyone chuckling occurred when Hollie was asked by host Bradley Walsh: "In 2019, which boxer beat Andy Ruiz Jr to reclaim his heavyweight world titles?" She confidently answered: "AJ Pritchard." As the studio erupted into laughter during the repeated episode shown again on Saturday, Hollie gestured towards the professional dancer nearby, promptly correcting herself amid laughter: "I meant to say AJ!" referring clearly to Anthony Joshua, the true heavyweight boxing champion, not the Strictly Come Dancing alum. (Image: ITV) AJ responded to the mix-up with good nature, quipping, "I'll take it anyway," while Bradley couldn't resist teasing, "You're getting your AJ Pritchards mixed up with your Anthony Joshuas," reports the Express. Even The Sinnerman joined in on the fun, joking: "Not only are you a world champion javelin thrower, you've created a world champion boxer in seat one." Hollie managed to bank £3,000 despite the gaffe, but chose to go with a safer £1,000 lower offer later on, to ensure she rejoined her teammates. The team on The Chase faced a heart-stopping moment as they reached the Final Chase with a whopping £72,000 at stake, only to be caught by the Chaser with a mere eight seconds left on the clock. (Image: ITV) Despite not answering any questions in the final round, Hollie and her teammates each took home £1,000 for their chosen charities. However, fans were less than thrilled to realise that the episode, which first aired less than two months prior, was a repeat – a move that has drawn criticism towards ITV. The channel previously faced backlash for re-airing a Soccer Aid celebrity special featuring England football icon David James alongside Lianne Sanderson, Dion Dublin, and Shaun Williamson, with Chaser Darragh Ennis as their opponent. Disgruntled viewers took to social media to express their annoyance, with one commenting on X: "Another repeat even when it's for charity? Lazy @ITV very lazy!" Echoing the sentiment, others chimed in with remarks such as "A no from me celeb repeat WTF," and queries like "How many times are they going to play this episode?" (Image: ITV) Frustration mounted as another fan questioned: "Are we in repeat season for #thechase now? No new episodes until September? If so, why not give it a rest and show something else?" Further criticism came from a viewer who pointed out: "Over 1100 episodes recorded and @ITV decide to repeat a repeat that was on 3 weeks ago ! ! ! Brilliant". The Chase is on ITV1 weekdays at 5pm and ITVX
