Saturday Kitchen in the news

Following Richard and Judy's competition phone-in scandal, it now appears that Saturday Kitchen is in the same shit and is most gratefully dragging Eamonn Holmes through it too.

Two thousand disappointed viewers eagerly rang in to send him to Hell only to discover that they were actually voting for him to eat his 'Hell dish'. Well, that's how I read it anyway.

"Viewers were asked to say whether Holmes should get his "heaven" dish (apple charlotte) or "hell" dish (poached pears). The BBC claimed he had been recorded eating both and that the winning entry had been broadcast at the end of the show."

Any keen follower of Saturday Kitchen should know that the celebrity guest deliberately chooses something bland for their Hell dish but really Eamonn, poached pears?! You might as well have asked them to make you some toast. We can only hope that James Martin served it with a sprinkling of mace then we can forgive him for wearing that seedy velour shirt the other week.
