Sunday brunch guests along with presenter Tim Lovejoy were left terrified after a loud noise unexpectedly hit the Channel 4 set while they were live.

The loud sound, which could be compared to the dropping or falling of a frying pan, occurred off-camera while Simon Rimmer was cooking an oriental pork dish, while his co-star Tim interviewed the celebrity panel.

On Sunday’s episode (November 3), Tim and Simon were joined by Made In Chelsea star Binky Felstead, Dragon’s Den legend Deborah Meaden, Man Down actor Mike Wozinak, comedian Bob Mortimer and singer Orla Gartland, when the metallic noise spread through the studio.

When the noise was heard, presenter Tim shouted: “Woah”, as his co-chef Simon appeared on camera again, declaring to everyone: “I’m sorry”, while appearing to rectify the situation and added: “Sorry, Tim” .

Simon did not confirm to viewers what had really happened. It is unknown if he suffered a misstep in the kitchen with the lid of the frying pan exploding or if he simply dropped something; Either way, faith was restored and everyone continued as normal, ignoring the kitchen problem.
