Sunday Brunch’s Tim Lovejoy issued an apology to his co-star live on air during the latest instalment of the Channel 4 show.
The 57-year-old presenter was back on television screens alongside co-host Simon Rimmer on Easter Sunday (April 20) and welcomed a whole host of celebrities to the studio.
During the live show, cocktail queen Portia Freeman appeared in the kitchen to make a delicious drink with pistachio, white chocolate, vanilla vodka.
However, Tim could hardly control himself as took a sip of the cocktail and bursted into fits of laughter, with Portia pointing out that Tim had “lost it”.
He later apologised to Portia off-camera and told viewers: “I was just apologising to Portia I thought she might think I was being rude but I just lost the plot there. Apologies for that.”
Elsewhere in the show, actress Siena Kelly has shared the personal reason why she quit social media eight years ago.
The Black Mirror star was asked by Tim and Simon about her decision to come offline and she explained: ” “I came off social media eight years ago when I was 21. I was the generation that went through puberty with social media.
“I was maybe 11 when Facebook was invented so I had all of it and we didn’t know at that point it wasn’t good for us.
“I just became very aware I was spending a lot of time, more time creating myself online than investing in myself in person. I was going to places so I could post it on Instagram. I came off because I’m weak. It’s not good for me.”
Tim asked: “There’s a lot of pressure now on actors to have social media following and they’re getting work from it, we know that for a fact, if you’ve got six million you’re going to get the gig, do you not feel pressure you need that to get the work.”
Siena, 29, said: “Occasionally but I’m not going to do it, it’s not going to happen. I’m not willing to sacrifice my mental health. Simon later wondered: “How does agent react to it though?”
Siena reassured Simon: “Really supportive but I’m not willing to do so if i means at some point I have to leave the industry and figure out something else, I just don’t think it’s worth it.”
Sunday Brunch airs weekly on Channel 4 at 10am
