Matt Baker, 42, was joined by his co-host Alex Jones, 42, on a recent episode of The One Show. The presenters were chatting to their guest Loyle Carner about his work with teenagers who suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) which aired earlier this month.
The rapper, whose real name is Ben Coyle-Larner, talked about his love of cooking and how he set up a cookery school to help teenagers with ADHD.
He was accompanied by three of his students, who all credited Loyle’s cooking classes to help channel their mind.
However, it was a teenager named Maya who was left shocked by presenter Matt’s comment, after he seemingly appeared to take a swipe at her cooking skills.
“We are now joined by Maya who we just saw in the film, plus two more of Loyle’s former students Hugo and Tyne are here as well,” the BBC frontman explained. “Welcome to our lovely little pizza parlour.”

His co-host Alex said: “That was a fantastic film, Loyle. What you’re doing is so inspiring. Lots of parents probably will watch that and they might identify with it and think, ‘I wonder if my child has it.’”
The One Show host then asked her guest: “How were you diagnosed?”
Loyle replied: “I was lucky. My mum was a teacher for kids with special educational needs so I was diagnosed when I was seven. I was diagnosed by her because she was seeing it every day. For me, it was important to help the kids around me and people who were younger than me to get a diagnosis as well.
“Because it made a big impact and helped me lean towards the things that were beneficial and would cater to my brain as opposed to the things that may have been against it.”
Matt commented: “No. You’re hugely successful,” as he turned to guest Maya and added: “Have you carried on with the cooking? Do you find it very therapeutic?”
She nodded in agreement: “Yes. Definitely. When my family let me.”
Matt cheekily jibed: “Do they not always let you because of the taste?”
To which Maya fired back: “Excuse me!” as she laughed, while an apologetic Matt attempted to correct himself.
She finished: “It’s more of a possessiveness of the kitchen. I made Caribbean chicken a couple of times.”
Fortunately, his guest saw the humorous side of Matt’s remark as the studio went up in laughter.
Meanwhile, the Countryfile host recently announced his decision to quit The One Show after fronting the programme for nine years.
Matt’s replacement has not yet been revealed by the BBC.
