'I've got crabs': Saturday Kitchen presenters fight to suppress giggles as viewer calls in live on air

Francesca Gillett5 August 2017

Presenters on the BBC's popular Saturday Kitchen show struggled to suppress a fit of the giggles after a viewer rang into the show and said "I've got crabs".

The show's host Matt Tebbutt fought laughter after Doug, from Hastings, used what appeared to be unfortunate wording with his cooking query.

After British chef Mr Tebbutt asked Doug for his question, he replied: "I've got crabs and I'm looking for a recipe that'll cure it."

Mr Tebbutt held back his laughter while his guests on the BBC1 show started giggling.

"You're looking to do what with your recipe for fresh crabs," he asked.

Saturday Kitchen Live viewers on social media were very amused.

One Twitter user, called @iamjocelynlaura, wrote: "Did I just hear correctly? Doug from Hastings has just phoned - he has crabs."

Another viewer of the morning cookery show said: "When Doug from Hastings unwittingly becomes a Twitter legend."

David Allen wrote: "Doug from Hastings has crabs! Best caller ever!" while user @MrDaveGibson added: "When you mix up the Saturday Kitchen number with the NHS Helpline".
