Saturday Kitchen viewers were left in hysterics as guest Sara Pascoe dropped her cutlery on the floor during a cooking segment, with the BBC talk show descending into 'chaos'

BBC show Saturday Kitchen was thrown into "chaos" when a blunder from comedian Sara Pascoe sent guests into fits of laughter.

The latest serving of the culinary chat show featured Matt Tebbutt at the helm, joined by the culinary expertise of Nathan Outlaw, Georgina Hayden, wine connoisseur Helen McGinn and comedian Sara Pascoe last Saturday morning (January 4).


The guests watched on as Matt Tebbutt and food writer Gurdeep Loyal discussed upcoming food trends for 2025 and sampled food dishes with an unique twists.

The crowd was tucking into an Italian Caspari Salad complete with mozzarella, figs, basil, and olive oil, where they were then tasked with showering their plates with grated frozen gherkin.

The Express reports how Gurdeep Loyal commented the frozen pickle introduced a "sourness" and a "delicious" tang of vinegar to the salad.

Comedian Sara Pascoe picked up her grater and struggled to grate her pickle and quipped: "I shouldn't really be doing this after two glasses of wine".


The situation on the tabletop turned comically "messy" so much so that the former Great British Sewing Bee presenter mused she might have to don gloves to handle the cold pickle.

While Gurdeep talked about food, Sara dropped a piece of cultery on the floor, leaving her head in her hands with Georgina Hayden and Helen McGinn laughing.

Wielding her grater, she said: "This is one piece of cutlery too many" as guests and Matt Tebbutt laughed. Sara reached under Helen to pick up the dropped cutlery, with wine expert Helen continuing to laugh.

Gurdeep Loyal could only utter the word "Chaos" while Matt Tebbutt exchanged a meaningful glance with the comedian. Sara Pascoe appeared on the Saturday morning cookery programme to plug her upcoming tour I Am A Strange Gloop across the UK and Ireland in 2025.
