Sunday Brunch backlash after Simon and Tim’s ‘painful’ interview ‘Get your facts right!’

Good Sunday #GoodSunday

Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer were joined by Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood, Joe Marler, Lisa McGrillis, Geoff Norcott and Andy Lapthorne on this week’s edition of Sunday Brunch. Unfortunately, the Channel 4 show was slammed by viewers on Twitter when an interview with racing driver Alice Powell went rather awry.

Tim and Simon claimed they were given the wrong notes during their chat with Alice, who spoke live via video link from the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Alice was beamed into the studio from Chichester to talk about Goodwood’s W Series.

Unfortunately, it appeared the presenters hadn’t been suitably prepared to question the driver about women’s racing.

Fans took no time at all in taking to Twitter when they realised many of their questions hadn’t been fact-checked.

Although, not all viewers were unhappy with the segment, with @jenni_samuel tweeting: “@alicepowell Great to see you on @SundayBrunchC4 this morning. You’re a fab role model & ambassador for the sport.”

Simon was also frustrated to find his blender had stopped working during the first part of this week’s Sunday Brunch.

The presenter and TV chef began the show by making his smoked mackerel pate with chilli beetroot relish.

His full recipe can be found on Instagram, but Simon had more trouble than usual when the crucial kitchen appliance failed to get started.
