'It's hard' #SundayBrunch addresses addresses Channel 4 show ‘challenges’

Simon Rimmer, 55, has been a firm fixture on Sunday Brunch alongside his co-star Tim Lovejoy, 51, since the show’s inception in 2012. The TV chef revealed when it comes to cooking for guests, they do have to take into account people’s eating habits because more people are following diets which he added makes it a “bit harder”. Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk: “I always wanted to make sure when we’re cooking for guests we don’t just say you're vegetarian but we’re cooking veal. “But now, more and more people have a diet that they follow.”

He continued: “It’s a lifestyle choice more than a necessity and that does make it a bit harder.

“You know you get someone who says I don’t eat foods beginning with a ‘Y’. You do get a lot more of that.”

Simon said he wanted to make sure all of the guests are catered too but at the same time, doesn't want to exclude viewers.

The small-screen star said: “But the challenge of that is we want to make sure we look after guests but also editorially you can’t do things that are so extreme that viewers at home are like ‘What?’

“You have to get that balance so you don’t alienate viewers.”

Elsewhere, the TV chef recently addressed the future of the Sunday breakfast show as he admitted he and his co-presenter will know when the show “has had its day”.
