Tom Kerridge topped our recent reader’s poll of who should be the new host of Saturday Kitchen capturing 20.5% of the votes.
Runner up was Matt Tebbutt with 17.1% and John Torode came third with 15.9%.
The Hairy Bikers (14.5%), Donal Skehan (13.7%) and the option of Someone Else (8.6%) followed these top three with almost 1 in 10 (9.7%) saying they like the Guest Presenter format the way it is.
Tom has said that he wasn’t considering taking up the position full time and its not hard to see why…
… his new son Acey born just before Christmas; recently opening a second pub The Coach in Marlow and plans for a third; his new diet book Tom Kerridge’s Dopamine Diet; a new range of British-made houseware products; and confirmation he will be appearing in a new BBC show on fast food next year. He’s proper busy.
