Saturday Kitchen has racked up more than 700 official complaints after Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt were accused of being "rude" to host Matt Tebbutt.
When the BBC Breakfast presenters appeared as guests on the show last month fans complained the pair were being "obnoxious, rude, and self-absorbed" while chatting to Matt.
The BBC initially received around 100 formal complaints soon after the show aired, however the number of complaints seems to have now soared to more than 700, The Sun reports.
The BBC only lists complaints received in its fortnightly report when more than 100 have been received for any given show.
The programme is at the top of BBC's latest report, as the corporation described the complaints as: "Felt the guests were rude to the programme’s presenter."
During the controversial episode, Naga told viewers: "For everyone who had turned off the news for a bit of relaxation, don't tune in to Saturday Kitchen."
It was then when Charlie picked up Matt's cue cards with questions on it, saying: "I want to see the list - he's worked hard on these."
"How do you switch off? Great question," he then read mockingly.
Charlie then told Matt: "My glass is empty. How does this work?" before Naga added: "Me too."
Behind the scenes, the broadcaster reassured viewers they had shared the feedback with the Saturday Kitchen team.
In a statement published last week, BBC said: "Saturday Kitchen Live’s format allows for an informal chatty style and the guests are encouraged to feel relaxed in the studio."
The statement continued: "Some viewers found the behaviour and comments of the guests this week to be inappropriate and that they were rude to presenter Matt.
"We appreciate the feedback and we shared it with the Saturday Kitchen team."
The Mirror has contacted the BBC for comment.
