The Death In Paradise alum greeted host Matt Tebbutt with a hugCredit: BBCThe mishap came after a huge BBC shake-up - which saw BBC Breakfast finish early and the Saturday Kitchen start time tweaked to 930am rather than 10am.
And the 30-minute difference was crucial for Ben, 59, whose absence swiftly sparked banter on the foodie series.
Matt quipped how the Death In Paradise actor could "turn his hand to anything - except setting his alarm clock."
He then added: "Ben Miller is on the way I promise. He's joining us live any minute now."

Ben, dressed in a black top and tan jacket, flashed a smile before he covered his face with his hand and said: "Awkward, awkward!"
Matt then joked: "I bet you haven't done that walk of shame for a while!" to which he replied: "I have excuses if you want to hear them."
