'On doctor's orders' Matt Tebbutt shares health update upon Saturday Kitchen return

Throughout the show, Matt let slip other side effects of his operation, such as being “off the drink this week” due to antibiotics. 

On Matt’s behalf, cooking up a storm in the kitchen was Mandy Yin and Ching-He Huang with Chef Ken Hom dialling in.

Going through her “eight treasure soup”, Mandy referenced how eight is a lucky number and that “you always want to start the year as you go on,” to which Matt laughingly replied, “yeah, not in hospital”.

Other guests on the episode included Olly Smith and Rick Edwards

Saturday Kitchen airs on Saturdays at 10 am on BBC One.
