Sabrina appeared as the final guest to showcase her dish, preparing a delicious white veal ragu. As she guided James through the recipe, Sabrina repeatedly called him "chef" throughout the cooking demonstration.

James playfully took notice of her repeated slip and began jokingly adding up a bill each time she said it. After Sabrina requested he add pasta water by saying, "Yes please, chef," James teased her by saying: "That's £70 now."

Clearly amused by the situation, Sabrina sighed with mock frustration. James continued joking, remarking: "I've got a starter and a main course so far, by the end of this I'm having pudding too!"

Feeling slightly embarrassed but trying to recover the moment, Sabrina suggested that instead of continuing the joke, any further slips could help a good cause.

She told James: "I've got an idea. Next time I do it, could we put the money into the marathon pot?"

Sabrina, who is preparing to run the London Marathon to raise funds for Pancreatic Cancer UK, hoped her embarrassment could benefit the charity.

James quickly agreed, smiling and nodding, clearly happy to turn the teasing into something positive.
