Saturday Kitchen began today (15th March) at the earlier time of 9:30am, causing the show’s special guest to arrive slightly late.
Actor and writer Ben Miller was on the show this week, but presenter Matt Tebbutt was unable to introduce him properly at the top of the episode.
Making an appearance to promote his new children’s book, Tebbutt quipped Miller has a vast array of talents, but “setting his alarm clock” isn’t one of them.
When the Bridgerton star finally arrived in the studio just two minutes late, he rattled off a string of excuses before turning to the camera to apologise to the audience.
The change in schedule was announced by Tebbutt last week and saw Breakfast also come to an end early. Saturday Kitchen concluded at 11am to make way for Football Focus, followed by the Women’s League Cup Final between Chelsea and kicking off at 11:45am.

However, it wasn’t just the early start that disoriented Miller this morning as he tried to explain his tardiness.
“Bet you haven’t done that walk of shame for a while!” the host joked as Miller made his entrance.
