Egg on face over TV swearing
Alistair Foster12 April 2012
A cooking show has been reprimanded by the broadcasting watchdog after a guest chef swore while making an omelette.
In Saturday Kitchen Live's omelette challenge, two cooks competed against the clock to prepare the dish.
On 5 December, Tom Kime said "f**king hell" under his breath when his three-egg omelette started to stick to his pan. The remark went undetected by presenter James Martin and the production team, so no apology was made.
It was not until after the show, broadcast on a Saturday morning, when another guest was asked about the swearing, that the BBC became aware of the matter.
The BBC decided that Kime would not be returning to the weekly show and apologised to viewers who contacted it to complain.
