Tim Lovejoy was off Sunday Brunch hosting duties today, which meant that Simon Rimmer needed a co-host.
The show needs someone funny, someone lovable, someone who is an absolute, consummate professional, who takes his job very seriously and never mucks about.
Enter Johnny Vegas.
Vegas has been become something of a regular on the show, making an earlier appearance as co-host some six months ago. That show was, shall we say, not exactly polished, with Vegas’ antics providing much of the show’s hilarity.
Now he’s back for a second crack at the whip, and the comedian wasted no time making a splash, getting stuck into a Yorkshire pudding pizza in a way that only he could.

If there’s one thing you can say about Johnny Vegas, it’s that he doesn’t do things by halves.
However, not everyone was a fan of Vegas being back on the show. It didn’t take long for the opinions to start flying on Twitter.
One one side, people were really enjoying having Vegas on the show.
I love Johnny Vegas. And I love how miserable that woman looks every time he talks 😂 #SundayBrunch

Anyone else find Johnny Vegas extremely annoying?? He's not funny in the slightest & so rude, guests can't get a word in! #SundayBrunch

Haters gonna hate. Vegas will be Vegas. Like him or loathe him, he certainly gets people talking.
