BBC Saturday Kitchen host makes cheeky dig at Giovanni Pernice and Anton du Beke bromance

A BBC Saturday Kitchen host made a cheeky dig at Strictly Come Dancing stars Giovanni Pernice and Anton du Beke in the most recent show. Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni was on the show on Saturday, March 25, with judge Anton to promote their new series in Sicily.

The travel show is airing on BBC One and sees the duo explore Gio's homeland, with the pair in the Saturday Kitchen studio to share everything fans needed to know about the series. But, as reported by Birmingham Live, host Matt Tebbutt left them spluttering when he made a joke at their expense.

As he hosted alongside wine expert Ollie Smith, he told the pair they have "the second best bromance on TV". "We've got a rollercoaster ride of show with this lot in the studio. Literally anything could happen, because this is Saturday Kitchen Live," said Matt.

He continued: "Our special guests today have delivered some of the most memorable Strictly moments ever, but they've swapped the ballroom for Sicily, in the second best bromance on TV - please welcome Anton Du Beke and Giovanni Pernice."

Anton fumed: "Second best?" Matt replied: "Second best my friends," as he pointed to co-star Ollie. Ollie told him: "What defines a bromance though, that's the question?"

Giovanni said: "Is this the first one?" Ollie and Matt both replied in unison: "Yeah, yeah, yeah." Anton then said: "You can't be the second best unless you have seen them in their budgie smugglers."

Matt said: "Which we have." Anton then admitted: "We spend a lot of time together in Speedos." Anton added: "The show is about our relationship, which is the thing that came across for me.

"I watched the first show the other evening with Hannah, and I got a warm feeling about it. It was a lovely sort of show of us together. The shows grow over the next couple of weeks, but without giving any spoilers away, we have a lot of fun with it all." He continued: "They are great people. It was one of the loveliest parts, being with your family."

Ollie replied: "It is a bromance. It's a real deal, excellent bromance." Giovanni replied: "There's a lot of love." Anton said: "There's a lot of love. I absolutely love him to death."
