Celebrity chef Simon Rimmer has reassured Sunday Brunch fans that he’s “fine” after viewers became concerned for his wellbeing.
The 56-year-old TV presenter appeared alongside co-host Tim Lovejoy, 51, as usual to front the Channel 4 show earlier today.
But many of those watching at home became concerned about his “husky” tones as he spoke – with some viewers reckoning they had heard him sounding similarly throaty during previous episodes.

He explained to his 265,000 Twitter followers: “In case you missed it @SundayBrunchC4 I have a cyst on my vocal chords.
“Getting removed 3 Feb. I’m not poorly it just makes my voice a bit croaky. Thank you for your concern I’m honestly fine x.”
Relieved fans were quick to send Simon their best – and one also indicated it should be a smooth procedure to fix the issue.
