A popular Saturday morning cooking show has been hit with over 100 complaints following a controversial episode which saw two presenters behave “appallingly cringeworthy”.

BBC Saturday Kitchen had viewers fuming after Naga Munchetty and her Breakfast co-star Charlie Stayt appeared on the show.

Fans of the show said that the Breakfast presenting duo were “rude” while on air and acted inappropriately toward fellow host Matt Tebbutt as they drank and ate during the BBC programme, reports Birmingham Live.

At one stage, Naga told viewers: “For everyone who had turned off the news for a bit of relaxation, don’t tune into Saturday Kitchen.”

Charlie also ridiculed Matt’s questions, with the TV host admitting he was losing control of the studio.

Charlie said: “I want to see the list – he’s worked hard on these.

“How do you switch off? Great question.”

“Can someone tell Naga and Charlie they’re not presenting?” one viewer fumed.

Another commented: “Naga & Charlie were pretty awful guests in my opinion! I thought they were very rude and disruptive- they are fellow presenters!”

Another chipped in with: “What is actually Naga’s problem? She is coming across as snarky, surly and they are making this show unbearable to watch. Constant jabs at Matt?”

The BBC subsequently issued a statement over the controversial episode, saying: “Saturday Kitchen Live’s format allows for an informal chatty style and the guests are encouraged to feel relaxed in the studio…

“Some viewers found the behaviour and comments of the guests this week to be inappropriate and that they were rude to presenter Matt.

“We appreciate the feedback and we shared it with the Saturday Kitchen team.”
