This Morning chef asks Dermot O'Leary if he is listening Rusty Lee's live cooking segment on This Morning didn't go quite as planned when co-host Dermot O'Leary got a little too engrossed in his meal, leading to a fiery on-air moment. On the Thursday showing (July 18), Dermot alongside Alison Hammond took over presenting duties from regular favourites Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley. The dynamic duo were introduced to a culinary treat by TV chef Rusty Lee who was eager to demonstrate her signature barbecue sauce for chicken wings.
However, while the chef was mid-explanation, Dermot and Alison couldn't resist delving into the pre-made delights, much to the chef's dismay. Caught off-guard by her co-host's lack of attention, Rusty challenged Dermot live on-air: "Are you listening to me?" A sheepish Dermot could only raise his gaze from his plate long enough to express how irresistible the food was, saying, "I'm just eating. I'm sorry, it's so good, I'm losing myself in the moment.
" Laughter ensued as Rusty took the moment in stride, joking along despite the mishap. But when she returned her focus to the barbecue, disaster struck the corn-on-the-cob had turned to charcoal. Despite Rusty's attempts to rescue her chicken wings, she declared with a chuckle, "It's all burnt," reports the Mirror .
