In the realm of live television, the unscripted moments often weave the most unforgettable.
During a seemingly routine cooking segment featuring TV chef Catherine Leyden, the atmosphere took an unexpected turn as her tomato bread had the kitchen burning up.
Tommy Bowe and Alan Hughes, ever quick on their feet, noticed the escalating situation: "Oh, here, Catherine, the, the, the thing's cooking, the, the, the thing's cooking."

As the situation intensified, the hosts couldn't contain their laughter, repeatedly saying: "It's on fire! It's gone on fire! It's on fire! That's on fire."
The comedic chaos continued as Alan rushed over to assist Catherine, humorously commanding: "Stop that, you!"
Amid the fiery ordeal, Alan, still in disbelief, declared: "It is on fire! It is on fire! pointing out that the baking parchment in the tin had a burned hole after catching fire from the hob.
In a bewildered response, Catherine asked: "How did that happen?" while Tommy predicted: "The fire alarm's gonna go off!"
Amid the laughter and chaos, Catherine tried to make sense of the situation, asking: "What are you like that lads? How did that happen? Muireann is having a heart attack for the second time in a month, I've caused havoc in the kitchen, Alan, we have to stop."
Trying to salvage the situation, Alan improvised, saying: "Here we go. Fabulous. Look at that. A damp tea cloth."
The hilarity continued as he added, "Yep. A burnt tea cloth."
Responses flooded in on Instagram, with one user chiming in: "Catherine deserves her own show," while another declared: "TV gold—always a fan of Catherine, and don't even get me started on the two assistants."
Meanwhile, a third observer humorously noted: "Catherine take the wooden spoon to them 2 bucks"
