A beloved BBC daytime show was removed from the regular TV slot amid a schedule shake-up on Saturday.
Saturday Kitchen viewers won’t be able to enjoy the programme’s highlights spin-off this Sunday due to Wimbledon’s Men’s Final airing at the same time.
During the famous Sunday’s Best Bites spin-off, chefs show some of the best moments from a selection of productions across the years.
But Saturday Kitchen host Matt Tebutt broke the news earlier that the show will be interrupted over the weekend to make space for the sporting showdown.
‘That’s all for today, on Saturday Kitchen Live,’ Matt, 51, told with a nod of gratitude, according to The Mirror.
‘There’s no Best Bites tomorrow, because it’s the final day of Wimbledon.’

‘But we’re back here live next week,’ he added beaming at the end.
Earlier in May, Matt announced on-air that chef Sophie Wyburd, 31, a favourite among culinary TV fans, is expecting a baby.
Matt, who was joined by guest Anita Rani and chefs Scott Hollsworth and Sophie, said: ‘Er Sophie, first of all, congratulations, Sophie’s pregnant!’
The BBC studio then erupted into applause before Matt added of her baby bump: ‘You can just about see it.’
Sophie smiled in response to the observation and simply said: ‘Just about!’
She was then asked if she had felt the baby kick yet and said: ‘First little punch yesterday, so I’ll see if they’ll send you a punch later.’
The happy news came during an episode where Helen McGinn gave fans drinks tips and Jordan Bailey discussed the humble yet brilliant burger.
Chef Sophie, who hails from London, is popular for her simple recipes on the show and online.

She already announced her news on Instagram with an appropriate culinary twist.
She wrote: ‘Sausage Pasta Wyburd-Kumar, growing steadily in my tummy and landing with us this autumn!!’
The chef added: ‘P.S. writing recipes for a living when for 3 months all you want to eat is spinach and ricotta tortellini is no joke, but the little person in there will be very much worth it I’m sure.’
Sophie has also shared some of her more unusual first trimester pregnancy cravings on social media including marmite and ‘frozen beige potato products’.
Saturday Kitchen airs every Saturday on BBC One at 10am and Saturday Kitchen Best Bites airs from 10:05am each Sunday.
