SATURDAY Kitchen Live had a big shake-up today, as host Matt Tebbutt was missing from the show.
The much-loved TV chef was instead replaced by another huge BBC star.
During BBC Breakfast, host Charlie Staylt threw to the Saturday Kitchen studio to find out what they had coming up on their show at 10am.
But viewers got a surprise when it was The One Show star Alex Jones who was hosting the show instead of celebrity chef Matt.
Speaking to Alex, Charlie said: "Matt's disappeared and you're there instead!"
Introducing herself as Matt's replacement, she said with a big smile: "Absolutely! Matt's away and I'm here to play!"
