Sunday Brunch in chaos as star 'pulls out' last minute and replacement is found
Sunday Brunch faced chaos moments before going live after one artist was seemingly replaced at the last minute
Sunday Brunch was thrown into chaos before going on-air after rocker Yungblud, who is no stranger to the programme, unexpectedly didn't turn up for his scheduled slot.
In what seemed like a last-minute upset, the no-show occurred despite the artist being advertised on the TV guide as one of the day's guests for the live show that went out on Sunday, 8th June.
The official Channel 4 summary promised viewers appearances by "Tim Peake, Ben McKenzie, Sian Gibson, and Professor Green. With music from Yungblud."
Traditionally, musicians set to perform towards the end of the broadcast are seated at the table with other guests before their performance during the rolling credits, yet Yungblud's absence was stark.
Not only did he miss his spot at the table of celebrities, but it also appeared that his space was swiftly taken over by Jerub, an indie-pop sensation who managed to fill in at what was probably the eleventh-hour, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Oddly enough, the show's details failed to mention Jerub, and neither Tim Lovejoy nor Simon Rimmer, the hosts, offered any explanation regarding the sudden change or discussed why Yungblud wasn't there.
While chatting on the couch with Lovejoy and Rimmer, Jerub acknowledged that it had been a "tight squeeze" to rearrange his schedule to appear in the studio, revealing how excited he was to "make it work" following the producers' call.
Jerub disclosed that he initially intended to come from Leeds, but owing to some "trains being cancelled", he was compelled to travel frantically "by car" to ensure he made it to Channel 4 on time.
Tim expressed his gratitude for the guest's presence, remarking: "It's a wonder that you made it here, really, isn't it?" but refrained from elaborating on the circumstances further.
As the show wrapped up, Jerub stepped into the spotlight to perform his latest track, Deeper, captivating viewers with his vocal talent. The audience seemed unfazed by any changes in the programme, instead flocking to Twitter to praise the touching finale delivered by Jerub.
One admirer tweeted: "What a song. What a beautiful voice, a beautiful ending to Sunday Brunch from Jerub #SundayBrunch."
Another simply shared their awe: "#sundaybrunch wow," while yet another new fan declared: "Jerub is a new find! Love him! #SundayBrunch."
Sunday brunch airs every Sunday on Channel 4, from 10am and can be streamed via My4.

He explained: "I've known my behaviour over the past decade (and my thinking for the past 30-odd years) has not been 'normal'.

Since finding fame, John has been open about his mental health battle and previously discussed suffering from bulimia and suicidal thoughts in 2019. In 2021 he revealed on the Life On A Plate podcast how he was left feeling suicidal and quit fame to live on a farm after winning The Great British Bake Off. He returned to university after the show to do his barrister training but ended up getting pneumonia from stress - leading him to drop out of the law course. But he soon returned to public life after he was confirmed to be the first ever male celeb to be paired in a same-sex couple on Strictly.

Miley Cyrus fans fume after singer 'bullied' into singing at movie premiere
Miley Cyrus' new movie, Something Beautiful, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, but some fans were not pleased with the event as they were expecting a concert Miley Cyrus graced the Tribeca Film Festival with her presence, but the event didn't quite hit the right note with some fans. At the premiere of Something Beautiful, set for a one-day cinematic release on June 12, Miley took to the stage for a Q&A session. However, some fans in the audience felt duped, with one shouting out, "We thought this was a concert," and revealing a hefty price tag: "We paid $800." The songstress tried to stay focused amidst the commotion, even as another attendee questioned: "Are you actually going to sing?" Eventually, she gave in, delivering an impromptu rendition of The Climb while remaining seated. Miley turned heads in a stunning netted dress adorned with spaghetti straps and a daring neckline, topped off with a luxurious cream fur shawl that swept the floor. Her hair styled in flowing waves and her makeup fully on point, she certainly looked the part. Online reactions to the disruptions were critical, with one user on X, previously known as Twitter, commenting: "Oh this is not it those people should have been removed. Poor Miley a concert is cool but getting to hear your fav talk about the creative process is such a gift? ? ? ? ?", reports the Mirror US. Another chimed in with a dose of sarcasm: "The girl who spent her rent on this and felt scammed, what was her plan exactly? Assuming this was indeed a concert, will she be in the comments like 'THE BEST NIGHT EVER, so worth being homeless for!'. As if it wasn't stupid enough to put in $800 without doing any research. "These people are so trashy omg... it's a FILM festival, with a FILM premiering, and a CONVERSATION with Miley afterwards... at no point was it advertised as anything else," vented one fan. Another chimed in, "Pandemic ruined peoples manners or something. No common sense. No idea what they're buying." And another gasped: "What they did to Miley Cyrus at the TriBeCa Film Festival was absolutely disgusting. Grown adults bullying & harassing her like that and nobody cared to stop it." Miley took to Instagram following the event and was once again backed by online users. She shared a reel of images and wrote: "Sending you all of my love, to show how much I appreciate sharing the experience of releasing my visual album @tribeca together xo tonight truly was Something Beautiful. Thank you." Fans in the comments section apologised for the actions of those in the crowd, with one telling the star: "You were amazing. Also, you didn't deserve that kind of treatment. You managed all of the situation with gentleness and kindness like you always do. Proud of you!" The artist has been on a significant promotional drive since her latest album dropped. During a recent album signing, she cheekily took a dig at her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth. As she autographed a record for a fan named Liam, she quipped that he was the "best" Liam. Since their split, Miley has found fresh romance with musician and drummer Maxx Morando. The pair have been together since 2021 and he even contributed to her latest album. On the other hand, Hemsworth has been romantically linked with model Gabriella Brooks since 2019. Five years post their brief marriage, Miley has not only excelled in her music career but also thrived personally. In an open conversation with Zane Lowe, she discussed her journey towards sobriety and its profound impact on her life and relationships.
