Saturday Kitchen fans declare: ‘TV moment of the year’ as guest goes flying on live TV

American chef Alison Roman took a tumble

Saturday Kitchen viewers were left in hysterics this morning after a guest went flying on to the floor during the live show. Fans thought it was so funny, they subsequently declared it the “TV moment of the year”.

Host Matt Tebbutt welcomed American food writer, chef and viral sensation Alison Roman on to Saturday kitchen this morning. She is best known for her ‘unfussy’ recipes.

And her laid-back personality certainly came in handy when the incident occurred today!

Saturday Kitchen guest goes flying!

After whipping up her raspberry ricotta cake and also a raspberry and sour cream dessert snack, Alison brought the treats to the table. The guests looked ready to tuck in as regular contributor Hels then shared her wine choice.

“We have a sparkling rose with this because you’ve got the red fruits in there, but also with cake…oooh!” she was stopped in her tracks as Alison, sitting down next to her, went flying to the floor.

Guest Nina Wadia, who was facing her food heaven or hell on the show, reached out to Alison. She and Hels both cried: “Are you all right?” as laughing Alison got up off the floor.

“That is not a chair,” Alison gasped as she got up and brushed herself down.

“Did you just sit on the wine table?” Matt, who had been cutting into her cake at the time, then asked her.

She replied: “I did,” still laughing. “We didn’t do that in rehearsal,” she added. Thankfully Alison didn’t appear too hurt by the incident and also said she was okay.
