The BBC show has been presented by an array of stars since James Martin quit earlier this year and it seems like fans still aren't over his departure, as they slammed Rick's hosting skills throughout today's programme.

One person posted: "Rick Stein is having a 'mare #SaturdayKitchen," while another added: "@SaturdayKitchen if i was Katie Melua i would walk out of saturday kitchen studio. rick stein not listening 2 her and sounds condescending."

A third blasted: "@SaturdayKitchen Rick Stein please stop interrupting the guest, this is annoying."

"Could Rick Stein interrupt Katie Melua a little bit more? I mean, she almost managed a complete sentence just then! #saturdaykitchen," a fourth shared.
