Saturday Kitchen host Matt Tebbutt is fighting back tears after receiving an emotional live text
Saturday Kitchen’s Matt Tebbutt got emotional live on air after receiving a text message.
The show had a segment on Marcus Wareing’s Eton Mess, then returned to the live studio where viewers could see Matt holding his phone.
The 49-year-old fought back tears as he said: “Thanks for that, Marcus, that was all well and good.
“I loved your Eton Mess, but honestly I just got a text from my daughter. Proud daddy moment, she got a scoop from university!’
Matt and his wife Lisa have two children, Jessie and Henry. The family lives in Monmouthshire, Wales.

The studio roared in applause to congratulate Jessie, including the show’s guest, Anita Rani of Strictly and Countryfile.
Matt thanked everyone who applauded and cheered before quickly apologizing for “taking over the TV for our own gain, let’s get back to the script.”
The father-of-two kept smiling throughout the next segment of the show, clearly overwhelmed by the great news.
This moment was not the only emotional part of the program.
Earlier in the show, London-based chef Imad Alarnab shared his story of coming to the UK as a Syrian refugee.
Imad had a successful career in Syria, but just six days after the war broke out, he lost everything.
He then came to the UK with his wife and children with only twenty pounds, changed his life and now owns a successful restaurant in London again.
