Matt Tebbutt has been entertaining the nation on Saturday Kitchen for eight years and has no intention of stopping any time soon. However, he admits it's not always plain sailing when it comes to live television . The amiable chef, 50, opened up to the Mirror about his toughest moments on the show, exactly how he is able to overcome issues, and also the two most asked questions about the programme.
Revealing the hardest thing he has to deal with on the show, Matt opened up on the tough task of speaking about the deaths of fellow chefs. "Sadly, in the eight years I've been doing we've lost about seven people," he candidly said. "I've done seven different obituaries for various chefs, and that's a hard one.
You can practice and practice, and then you do it, and then during the live [show], something happens. And you feel your voice gets shallow and shallower, and so it's a hard one to do. So that's that's always been tough.
I always get on edge." Opening up more about his experience on what he calls a "well-oiled machine" of a show, Matt revealed a key bit of advice he was once given to make sure he succeeded in his role - choosing your language carefully. "You get so relaxed you forget you're on live TV," he admitted.
"But a BBC commissioner once said 'remember who you're talking to. You wouldn't go around to that little old lady's house and say a swear word, so you don't do it on TV.'" However, he admits he really enjoys the interaction all the team have, both with each other.
