Saturday Kitchen: Matt Tebbutt jokes about the director
Strictly Come Dancing’s Vito Coppola left plenty of viewers divided following his appearance on Saturday Kitchen.
The beloved BBC show returned to screens on Saturday morning (March 28) with Matt Tebbutt back at the helm.
Joining Matt on the programme were chefs Theo Randall, Samin Nosrat and drinks expert Helen McGinn. Strictly favourite Vito also made an appearance to cook a dish, and singer Self Esteem aka Rebecca Lucy Taylor, also stopped by – in which viewers had to vote on whether she would have her version of food heaven or food hell.
However, it’s fair to say it was Vito that got plenty of people talking, as it seems some viewers were left divided by the dancer on the show, with some taking an issue with him speaking loudly.

On X, one person said: “Can’t stand the screeching at this time of the morning.” A second quipped: “Can you speak a bit louder please – they can’t quite hear you in Naples…”

A third then penned: “Vito should stick to dancing and you just know the miserable blonde guest is getting hell.”
Nonetheless, it wasn’t all negative as other viewers supported Vito, with one person saying: “Such happy, bubbly chefs on today. Especially the lovely @Vito__Coppola Food looks delicious too.”
Someone else penned: “Love Vito.” A third gushed: “Vito seems like such a lovely, upbeat fella.”

It comes after Matt Tebbutt returned to Saturday Kitchen this month having some time away in Australia. Earlier on in March, fans watched The One Show’s Alex Jones in the hot seat as she was joined by Mike Reid, Adejoké Bakare, Bryn Williams and special guest Phil Wang.
Although Matt was on the show the week prior, the BBC star confirmed it was a pre-recorded episode as he shared updates from Australia with his Instagram followers.
However, the 52-year-old presenter was back at the helm once again in March as he took a moment to praise Alex for taking over.
He said: “Before we go on with our usual nonsense, we should say how well Alex did last week. Well done, Alex Jones.”
