Tebbutt said: “Our special guest was supposed to be the legendary Dave Grohl. Unfortunately, thanks to Storm Eunice, Dave is stuck in LA.

“Thankfully at the last minute, and I really mean the last minute, the lead singer of the brilliant Brit Award-winning band Bastille has come to save the day, and I could not be happier that he is here. I’m relieved.”

Thanks so much for having me today @SaturdayKitchen. That was so much fun.

And a massive cheers to everyone who voted for me to get food heaven and swerve that hellish oyster grapefruit nightmare ❤️ https://t.co/nFAUjSRvDB
