Matt Tebbutt, who has been fronting Saturday Kitchen since James Martin's exit in 2016, said things will become "very different" in the next few years, as he branches out into the world of YouTube.

While grateful to still have a successful show on television, the 51-year-old said it was now time to explore the new path after seeing the success it can bring.He explained: "I'm looking into the world of YouTube currently, because everyone is jumping on that one and it seems to work.

I think that's how people are watching TV these days."Having seen the success of fellow chefs who've achieved international acclaim via the video-sharing platform, Matt is keen to follow in their footsteps."It drives more customers, it drives more views and they're hugely successful with it.

So I'll be looking in to that," he revealed. When probed about the difficulties in sustaining viewership numbers, he acknowledged: "It absolutely is [a challenge], yeah because the new generation don't watch what they call linear TV anymore, it's all on their phones or their computers. "And they can type in whatever they want and watch it whenever they want it.
