Paul Whitehouse aired his concerns over his “heart health” as Matt Tebbutt dished up a mouthwatering winter warmer.

The actor, who is best known for his role as an impressionist in Harry Enfield and Chums, had appeared on the programme to promote his dual role in Only Fools and Horses on stage.

He explained to the host that he had two parts in the popular stage show, playing not only the role of Grandad but also Uncle Albert too, with the food programme devoting both his food heaven and hell to each character.

One option was a haddock dish, devoted in the spirit of his alter-ego Grandad and the other, beef and kidney pie for Uncle Albert. Before the public vote had been disclosed Matt served up a very special treat.

Matt had sizzled off some bangers in the pan and then simmered the sausages down with some lentils, all while he whipped up some creamy mashed potato for Paul to sample.

As the delightful staple was plated up, Paul turned to the host and addressed his health concerns, specifically with matters to the heart.

He said: “Erm heart health, is that a consideration on this show?” Paul then blurted: “Because it never has been,” which sent those in the studio into fits of giggles.

Laughing off his comments, Matt responded, saying: “It’s not too bad,” as he retorted: “There’s no butter in here, there’s lots of lentils.”

Paul argued: “So there’s no butter in the mash,” as the host laughed and replied: “There’s loads of butter in the mash.” Nodding away the actor said: “Thank you.”
