Tim Lovejoy, 51, and Simon Rimmer, 56, shared an awkward moment on today’s episode of Sunday Brunch, as the stars joked about their guest Jessie Ware’s cooking display. The funny situation began when the singer became concerned that Simon was accusing her of “stealing” his recipe for meatballs. The TV chef told Jessie: “Your meatball recipe is almost exactly the same as mine.” Seeming shocked by the suggestion, the Wildest Moments hitmaker gasped “Oh,” in response. “No in a good way,” Simon exclaimed after spotting Jessie’s reaction, “I wasn’t saying you’d stolen in from me,” he quickly added. He continued: “The thing is with meatballs, quite often people make meatballs and they’re just like round burgers.  READ MORE Cheryl: “I am completely in love” gushes The Greatest Dancer captain  “But a meatball is a former kind of peasant dish, so it wouldn’t have as much meat in it. “So the breadcrumbs and the milk bulk it out, but it also gives it a more silky consistency and makes for a nicer meatball I always think.” Going on to explain her recipe, Jessie said: “These are really light and also with the lemon zest they’re super fresh.” Things then became even more awkward when Tim mistakenly made a cheeky innuendo about “balls”.    He told viewers: “The thing with meatballs, and please remember I’m a TV presenter not a chef, but when the balls are too tight…” Tim then trailed off as Simon laughed at his funny phrasing. “I’m going to leave that,” he said in response to his co-host’s giggles, “I’m going to stick to what I know. You keep saying loose meatballs and…”  Tim then hit back at Simon for his cheeky reaction by saying: “Stop looking at me Simon! You’re making it worse!”  Defending his response, the cooking expert insisted with a grin on his face: “No, no, I’m interested by what you’re saying.”  Tim then added: “So I’m just saying don’t squeeze them too tightly? Is that correct?”  Following more laughter in the studio, he begged: “Can everyone stop this now?”  Elsewhere, Tim has spoken out on how he has informed his daughters on where his money and savings are stored in case he dies.

I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for them.” “I have to die at some stage, and so I might as well discuss it with them,” he continued. “I have no problem discussing death.”
