We have a Spice Girl in the house! Join @matt_tebbutt, @knackeredmutha and #HasanSemay to spice up your life on #SaturdayKitchen. Ready to add,” @Adambyatt, @NiklasEkstedt, and the one and only @OfficialMelB! ”
“Broadcast live on @bbcone and @bbciplayer!” the tweet concluded. Another viewer, Sir Patterson, commented: “#saturdaykitchen Oh those two chefs again. And the wine woman.”
