Sunday Brunch host asks 'what on earth' Sir Keir Starmer is doing on the show
Tim Lovejoy takes no prisoners.
What did you miss?
Sir Keir Starmer appeared in this weekend's Sunday Brunch line-up alongside Dermot O'Leary, Kiefer Sutherland, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Vinette Robinson and Laufey.
Introducing the leader of the Labour Party, who would later exit the studio to go and watch his beloved Arsenal FC play Everton FC in the final match of the Premier League season, the show's co-host Tim Lovejoy snuck in a neat quip about Starmer stepping out of the political realm for once.
Lovejoy and fellow presenter Simon Rimmer then had him rustle up tandoori salmon in the kitchen.
What, how and why?
While highlighting Ghosts actor Smith-Bynoe's silver Sunday Brunch mug - Sunday's episode (19 May) marked his seventh time as a guest. Lovejoy asked Starmer: "What on earth are you doing here? You should be on BBC with Laura Kuenssberg..."
"This is so much nicer!" smiled the politician, who held the position of Director of Public Prosecutions for five years until 2013.
"We're gonna grill you," joked Lovejoy in response. "Actually I'm not like that, that's not my style. I can't vouch for Simon though, he's got a bit of Loose Women about him. It is your first time on the show, hopefully you'll enjoy yourself today!"
What was the feeling over on social media?
Viewers were surprised to see Starmer on Sunday Brunch and took to social media to share their thoughts. "If politicians coming on #sundaybrunch think it makes them popular..... Then they've obviously underestimated this audience," reckoned one person.
"When you turn on #sundaybrunch and see Kier Starmer cooking tandoori salmon. You know it's time to watch #saturdaykitchen again," wrote another unimpressed viewer.
While a third user wondered: "Just tuned in .... keir starmer is cooking fish ... did i wake up in a parallel universe".
It wasn't just moaning and groaning, though, as several Sunday Brunchers appreciated witnessing a different side to Starmer.
Labour MP Alex Davies-Jones, toeing the party line, tweeted "Love having @Keir_Starmer in my living room this morning via @sundaybrunchC4... He’s genuinely a nice bloke, and it’s great that more people are able to get to see this".
Another viewer called the leader of the opposition's appearance on the weekend show "random and interesting".
Sunday Brunch airs weekly on Channel 4.
