Saturday Kitchen halted as celebrity chef calls in
Saturday Kitchen halted its usual proceedings today (Saturday, 5th July) when a major celebrity chef called into the show.
Following a segment with Rick Stein in Lancashire, the show returned to presenter Matt Tebbutt in the studio after rustling up a carbonara with Gennaro Contaldo.
However, before moving onto Matt's interview with Fleur East, the current star of Tina – The Tina Turner Musical, Gennaro interrupted the show to take a phone call.
He revealed none other than Jamie Oliver was on the phone, causing an eruption of laughter from the rest of the guests.
Jamie, the beloved chef, TV presenter and restaurant owner, exclaimed 'Hello everyone!' down the line as the Saturday Kitchen stars all applauded.
The phone call continued with Jamie revealing his Saturday morning plans and promising to tune into the show soon.
"Just come back from the market," he shared. "I'm going to be home in two minutes and I'm going to turn the TV on."
Matt's guests this week, which also included Clare Smyth, wine expert Helen McGinn and chocolatier Paul A. Young, all let out an "Aww".
BBC presenter Matt then quipped: "Jamie's just been down the market, he actually lives that life.
"He goes down the market, buys his stuff, then goes home on his little scooter."
As Gennaro told Jamie, "I love you and miss you!", Matt swiftly moved on to the next segment to prevent any more disruption.
Italian chef Gennaro is a firm fan-favourite of the show and many viewers took to X (formerly Twitter) to praise him for another classic Saturday Kitchen appearance.
"Gennaro is the GREATEST!!" one user exclaimed. "I had the honour and privilege to get to know him years ago during the opens of all the Jamie's Italians.
"His passion and love is second to one. Plus his food is always perfection."
And another fan declared: "27 minutes in and this is already a vintage #SaturdayKitchen. Gennaro putting in an all-timer performance - but you come to expect the best from Matt and co."
Saturday Kitchen airs Saturdays from 10am on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

Blue Peter star Katy Hill's life now as she enjoys new career away from the spotlight
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 Katy Hill, the iconic Blue Peter presenter, has embarked on a completely new career path and established her own business after gaining fame in the late 90s on some of the most popular TV and radio shows of the time. She was the face of the much-adored children's programme CBBC from 1995 to 2000, before transitioning to BBC One's Live and Kicking until 2001. During her stint on Blue Peter, she became renowned for her daring stunts and even made history as the first civilian to fly with the Red Arrows. Her success on the show and her popularity led her to host Top of the Pops, Football Fever, BBC's Holiday and her own weekend show on Capital FM.

Later in her career, she hosted radio shows for Heart Radio, wrote weekly blogs and served as a stand-in presenter on ITV's Daybreak, according to OK!, reports the Mirror. However, Katy is now less frequently seen on our television screens, as she has become a life coach and launched her own business. Identifying herself as an 'Internationally Certified Success and Confidence Coach', she often shares motivational content on social media. (Image: BBC) (Image: Instagram) (Image: BBC) (Image: Getty) Katy also publishes her own newsletter, The Limitless List, which provides inspiring quotes and messages. Katy has certainly made her mark both on the telly and beyond, providing programmes, live workshops and personalised coaching to inspire her community. Her Instagram bio highlights her journey: "The shy kid who refused to play small and spent 30 years on TV! Now empowering women like YOU to UNLOCK your CONFIDENCE and CLAIM the SUCCESS you deserve!". Trey Farley, not just Katy's former 'Live and Kicking' mate but her husband too, and she have been blissfully united in matrimony for over 20 years, sharing their lives with their two offspring, Kaya and Akira. In an outpour of emotion this July 2023, they celebrated a special milestone – their 20th wedding anniversary. Katy took to her social media to reminisce, sharing snaps from their nuptials and penning down: "20 Years of US! 20 Years of Mr and Mrs Farley! What a ride we're on @rocaflix ... nobody else I'd rather be doing LIFE with! Happy 20 babe! Let's make more amazing memories! X (Ours was the Hans Zimmer version - obvs! )". Before finding joy with Trey, Katy had stepped into matrimony with her first love, Andrew Frampton, back in 1999, but alas, they went their separate ways by 2001.

'I let my fiancé sleep with other women - I even meet them the next morning'
A UK couple have spilled the beans on practising 'kitchen table polyamory', revealing there is only one rule when it comes to having sex with different partners Charlize Storm's relationship might seem unconventional but the bride-to-be insists it's the healthiest love match she's ever experienced. The 50-year-old encourages her boyfriend Matt Johnson to bring other women home for sex and she's even happy to make small talk with them in the morning. "This is the healthiest relationship I've ever been in," she said. "I'd absolutely recommend it to other people. People think polyamory is all about sex, but it's about the emotional connection. Your emotional and sexual needs aren't necessarily tied." The support worker first tried an open relationship when her 23-year marriage ended three years ago. In July 2022, she then met her partner Matt on a dating app while on holiday in New Zealand. Matt, 44, was also keen on polyamory - a desire for romantic relationships with more than one person at the same time with the informed consent of all involved - making it a match made in heaven. A year later, the store assistant relocated to England to be with mum-of-two Charlize. Both members of the couple are in a long term relationship with other polyamorous people - Charlize says she has juggled as many as four partners at the same time, while Matt has been involved with three. The mum-of-two from Chesterfield, Derbyshire, said the couple practise 'kitchen table polyamory' where partners form close, friendly relationships with their other partners, often sharing meals and space together. "Because me and Matt have come into our relationship as poly, it's a lot easier because we're able to date other people and be honest with our partner," she said. "Polyamory allows me to be totally myself, it just felt natural to me." "Charlize and I have really good chemistry, we have similar ideals," said dad-of-three Matt. "Every connection is different. You will find a person that is polyamorous that requires things that you can't always deliver on and the beauty of that is that they find another partner who can deliver on those." Charlize admitted she sometimes feels jealous about Matt's partners and said she deals with it by communicating. "I come to Matt with that and he gives me reassurance," she said. "For me, I form emotional connections really quickly so it isn't just about sex at all," she added. "I consider other people that I'm in a relationship with my partners. "If Matt told me he'd fallen in love with someone else, I'd be super excited for him and also want her to be my bestie. I'm friends with one of his partners in New Zealand. He had another partner last year that I consider my friend. "What we like sexually isn't tied to our relationship style. It's never a requirement but it's something we're open to." The couple have one boundary - that condoms are used with new partners, with STI tests needed before this situation changes. "If we go on a date and sleep with the person, we tell our partner that we have consummated that relationship," said Charlize. "We don't have our bed, we have my bed and his bed and who I invite to my bed is my business and vice-versa." "If one of us brings someone back, we can all be eating breakfast together the next morning."

Fan buys £35 restricted view Oasis ticket and can't get over how good it is
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 In the run-up to the much-anticipated Oasis reunion at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, a stroke of luck struck for some fans as they received emails alerting them to snap up last-minute tickets. For those who had endured the gruelling online queues back in August, this was a delightful twist – all the more sweetened by the bargain price of just £35 a ticket. Cardiff local Kelly Reardon Brown, who had previously spent a fruitless summer day trying to secure tickets, found her fortunes reversed this week. Instead of shelling out the expected £150 per ticket to see Liam and Noel Gallagher reunite on stage, she managed to bag hers for a mere £35. The only minor hiccup? The tickets were for seats with a 'restricted view' label, but it turned out to be the best £35 Kelly, a sales director, had splashed out all year, reports Wales Online. READ MORE - Noel Gallagher confirms 'true reason for Oasis reunion' ahead of Edinburgh gigs READ MORE - BBC's Clare Balding says 'it's killing me' as she shares update with wife Alice Kelly shared her disbelief: "By that point I'd given up hope. I had been checking the Ticketmaster website but everything was really high priced. I was expecting to pay around £150 a ticket for the area we sat in. I also knew how scarce the tickets are and it was opening night too." She found herself in block U5, tucked away in the top left corner of the stadium map, on the upper tier, and was astounded by the price. Kelly recounted her initial confusion: "I genuinely thought I'd messed up at first and had only bought one ticket. (Kelly bought two) When I went back and saw I'd got them for £34.50 each, I thought there had been a mistake. "I then text a friend who works for the stadium and checked that I didn't have fake tickets! I genuinely couldn't believe it." Kelly was relieved to find she hadn't been duped, and the U5 experience was "worth every penny. "The view was brilliant," she continued. "You could see the entire stage from side on and you even got to see backstage too when they were walking in which brilliant as they (Noel and Liam) turned to us and clapped when we all cheered. (Image: Kelly Reardon Brown) (Image: SeeTickets) (Image: Kelly Reardon Brown) "The screen was bent backwards so we had view of half of the screen. There was plenty of space too for us to dance. Great seats." Reflecting on the event, Kelly wished she had purchased more tickets to invite additional friends, but she feared they might sell out if she attempted to go through the buying process again.

I can't believe I got to see Oasis on the history making opening night for £34.50! Im so lucky!". At the inaugural concert on 4 July, lead singer Liam Gallagher commented on the ticket fiasco. Speaking to the audience, he queried: "You all having a good time, yeah?". He then quipped: "Was it worth the £40,000 you paid for a ticket?". The tickets for the highly anticipated Oasis reunion flew off the virtual shelves earlier this year, selling out at all venues due to overwhelming demand. Nevertheless, there are still a few avenues open for fans hoping to catch the band at the last minute. Limited last-minute tickets can be purchased from the official Ticketmaster resale site, where fans unable to attend can sell their seats, although these tend to fluctuate in availability. Meanwhile, resale platforms like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub, and Twickets are offering tickets for various dates starting at £121, but fans should always remember that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, advise against buying resale tickets.
