host has admitted that he “dreads” being thrown to every week before his morning cooking show.
The TV presenter, 51, – who has recently teamed up with Lingo by Abbott, a biowearable which gives users a window into their glucose levels in real time – first joined the show back in 2019 where he would regularly stand in for host James Martin.
But in 2019, the dad-of-two took over the hosting gig after the TV chef decided to take a step back from the programme to pursue other opportunities.
Since then, the star has become a fan favourite on the long-running show, regularly welcoming a star-studded guest onto his weekly show where he asks fans to treat them to either food heaven or food hell.
Before every show, the cook introduces his programme on breakfast news programme where he finds himself in the hot seat with veteran broadcasters and .

Now, Matt has lifted the lid on what it is like working with the dynamic duo and their unusual banter on the news programme. Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, he admitted that he often feels like he’s being “thrown to the lions” during his five-minute morning segment.
He told us: “I love Naga’s sense of humour. It’s a bit like the old school ground stuff where you’re sort of prod people to provoke a reaction. She is as sharp as a razor and you do not know where it’s going to come from next.
“I mean, one minute they could be talking about some awful death and destruction, and the next minute total curveball and it just catches you off guard, and as much as I dread it, I love it as well”. The broadcaster went on to admit that he sometimes struggles to keep up with the stars on the show.
He continued: “Honestly, the most on edge and the most nervous I am of the whole Saturday morning is when I get thrown to the lions in that news room. And you’ve just got to sort of fend them off and come back with something, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t”.
It comes after the host teamed up with Lingo by Abbott – biowearable which gives users a window into their gluecose levels in real time. After using the app and biowearable, the star opened up about some of the changes he’s made to his diet from their findings.
He revealed: “I have learned that my go-to healthy snack of sushi isn’t so great for blood glucose levels for different reasons, so I’ve been putting that to bed a bit. Rice cakes, rice crackers, things like that is not always.
“And I’ve also learned that by pairing food with others, so things like seeds and nuts and proteins can stabalise things. It’s been really, really interesting. I’ve learned that balancing lots of fiber and proteins with sugar content creates this balance. It’s been really, really useful.”
