Simon Rimmer took to social media last night to explain the reason why he did not appear on this weekend’s Sunday Brunch. The 58-year-old presenter was replaced by TV and radio personality Miquita Oliver yesterday without an explanation from his co-star of nine years, Tim Lovejoy.
Channel 4 viewers took to social media to share their concerns for the TV star after Tim simply said he was “off”.
Simon has now admitted that he had a “hangover”, and was making the most of a week off from work after fans questioned his whereabouts online.
“Hi Simon, are you ok? You were not on Sunday brunch today. It felt like cornflakes without the milk,” one viewer wrote online.

“He’s probably got a hangover, good morning Simon if you’re watching,” he quite rightly predicted.
Introducing his 37-year-old co-host, the presenter added: “My co-presenter this week is Miquita Oliver.”
“Welcome to the show, how are you?” the 53-year-old asked.
“I’m really good, it’s really lovely to be here actually,” Miquita replied, before admitting that she hadn’t done much research ahead of her stint on the show.
