Fans of Saturday Kitchen were left fuming at their television sets during the latest episode as actor Luke Evans failed to remove his hat. The A-list star, who is famous for starring in The Hobbit, Beauty and the Beast and The Girl on the Train, to name a few, appeared on the BBC programme to cook up a delicious dish with chef James Martin while he discussed his new book. Wearing a white shirt, grey cardigan and chinos, Luke also accessorised his look with a tweed flat cap on Saturday morning (Novembr 23).
But his outfit proved to be a distraction for some viewers at home who were annoyed that he kept his cap on while inside the BBC studio. Heading over to social media platform X in their droves, fans shared their greviances as they urged him to remove it. One viewer said: "Take your cap off or you won’t feel the benefit when you go outside.
.." Another fan compared Luke to a character in BBC 's hit drama Peaky Blinders and said: "Hey Peaky Blinder wannabe! Take off your hat inside!" A third confused viewer wrote: "Who wears a hat indoors?" "Men wearing caps indoors is one of my pet hates," a fourth shared.
While another penned: "Luke Evans deserves Food Hell for wearing a hat indoors. Plus, oxtail sounds much nicer than a sandwich." Despite the backlash from viewers at home, the screen star received positive feedback for his new book, Luke Evans Boy From the Valleys.
James asked: "And you've also done an audiobook, right? Luke replied: "Yeah, I did the audiobook which was really fun because I didn't even have to look at the book when I was recording it because I knew it so well. So, my friends said it's just like listening to you tell a story." Wine expert Helen McGinn, who was also on the show at the time, chimed in and said: "Well, I read it, and I could hear you while I was reading it.
"It really is an extraordinary book!" Saturday Kitchen airs Saturdays from 10am on BBC One..
