Saturday Kitchen Live viewers were smitten with guest star Idris Elba on the show's latest instalment. The award-winning actor, best known for his role in BBC's Luther, graced the kitchen alongside host Matt Tebbutt on November 9.
Alongside other guests such as Helen McGinn, Alexina Anatole, Carmen O'Neal, Marcus Wareing, and Amanda Ross, Elba, aged 52, divulged his 'food heaven' of apple crumble with ice cream and his 'food hell' of marmite, kale and tofu.
The actor's controversial culinary picks stirred some debate on the panel, but it was Elba's charm that truly captured the audience's attention, reports .
One fan swooned on : "Oh My Goodness Idris Elba, yum lol." (sic)
Another posted a drool-worthy comparison, presenting Elba alongside a classic apple crumble captioned: "Idris Elba and apple crumble with custard. Am I fantasising?"
One more fan enthused, "Just when I thought Idris Elba couldn't be any more gorgeous .. he chooses apple crumble as his food heaven." (sic)
Meanwhile, another was totally engrossed: "Apparently there's some cooking happening on #saturdaykitchen today. No idea because Mr Elba is proving rather distracting." (sic)
