" #SaturdayKitchen Not going to watch this show anymore. It's just the host and his fake laugh acting like a child with any guest that's on. @SatutdayKitchen," another agreed.

But in regards to Paul's impersonations, another said: " #saturdaykitchen If he keeps doing characters from Only Fools And Horses, it's going to get very irritating very quickly.." Another said: "Brilliant show so far," as they rushed to praise the programme.

Another said: "Great to see the mighty Paul Whitehouse @PaulWhitehouse on Saturday Kitchen @SaturdayKitchen right now Loved seeing him in #onlyfoolsandhorses in Bromley on Wednesday night, where he & the whole cast totally smashed it #SaturdayKitchen #SaturdayMotivation."

Another said: "Some people on TV you can tell have a persona and play up to the camera. Others are naturally very, very funny people. Paul Whitehouse very much the latter. What a guest. #saturdaykitchen " Another gushed: "Nice to have a comedian on that actually delivers on the job description.... #SaturdayKitchen."

Another said: "It’s normally tomfoolery & nonsense from yours truly when the now habitual low grade #SaturdayKitchen fayre is served with Woke guests etc but they have outdone themselves for once with Paul Whitehouse. Well done Aunty"

"Looks like a lovely wine @knackeredmutha has chosen for @dinamacki Pumpkin Biryani on @SaturdayKitchen We're with #SaturdayKitchen's @matt_tebbutt on the label here. It would jump off the shelf," another commented.
