Sunday Brunch viewers hail big change to Channel 4 show
Sunday Brunch fans were quick to share their thoughts on social media
Sunday Brunch welcomed viewers with a brand-new episode on June 22, sprucing things up with Vicky Pattison as the fresh new co-host alongside Simon Rimmer.
The Channel 4 show saw a roster of stars including Rosie Jones, Tim Key, Fleur East, Gavin Rossdale, and Nicky Campbell, plus appearances from Jeremy Pang, Allie Sherlock, and Susannah Fielding.
While Simon was at the wheel of the show, his regular partner in crime, Tim Lovejoy, was notably missing from the Sunday line-up.
Vicky stepped in to fill Lovejoy's shoes, quickly proving herself to be a hit with the Sunday Brunch faithful.
Audiences took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the shake-up, with many throwing their support behind Vicky and dubbing her a "breath of fresh air", reports the Manchester Evening News.
One viewer tweeted: "Joke about Vicki all you want, but its good to have some feminine energy co-presenting and female POV on the sofa while chatting with the guests. #sundaybrunch @SundayBrunchC4 @VickyPattison."
Another chimed in with praise: "What a breath of fresh air @VickyPattison is #SundayBrunch," and another added, "I honestly don't think Tim should go, but having Vicki is a nice change from two bald blokes being blokey and exciting only really by any footie talk #sundaybrunch."
Instagram also lit up with compliments, with a user enthusing: "Best presenting duo ever, Vicki should do more on Sunday Brunch. She's just what's needed for a Sunday morning."
And someone concurred: "Yay, @vickypattison should be on every week please."
Vicky took to Instagram to announce her excitement about joining Simon on the Sunday Brunch sofa, sharing the news with her followers two days before the show aired.
"I HAVE SOME EXCITING NEWS!" she exclaimed to her fans. "As a long time friend of @sundaybrunchc4 it is an absolute HONOUR to be wearing a slightly different hat this week! I will be joining my good pal @rimmersimon as his co host while the lovely @timlovejoy_official has a very well deserved break!!!"
She continued: "I am buzzing like an old fridge to chat to all of our gorgeous guests, eat some delicious food and hopefully give anyone watching and nursing a hangover a bit of light comedy reprieve. See you bright and early Sunday my loves... and wish me luck."
