Saturday Kitchen fans air their displeasure as Alex Jones steps in to host

As the episode began, viewers took to Twitter (now X) to air their surprise. Many viewers were not happy to see Alex in the hosting chair again (having previously hosted in February).

“Presumably Matt is off filming for Channel 4 or something. Nothing against Alex Jones (apart from her ubiquity), but a renta-presenter isn’t really in the ethos of Saturday Kitchen, which has been presented by a professional chef since they got rid of the Masterchef greengrocer,” wrote one infuriated fan.
