Oh, Richard Blackwood. As if you have gone ALL THE WAY THROUGH LIFE without knowing how to zest a lemon.

Or indeed, actually known what lemon zest is, which is even more baffling. How do you not know what lemon zest is?!

Richard was on* Sunday Brunch* at the weekend and was asked to zest a lemon.

More news!

He proceeded to cut it in half and TRY TO GRATE THE INSIDE. Richard, Richard, Richard… did you not do food technology at school? Have you never eaten a lemon tart? Well, maybe not, but did you never wonder what the word “zest” actually means?

Maybe he just genuinely though it was the inside of the lemon. The mind boggles.

Richard’s EastEnders co-star Matt Di Angelo then posted this tweet, which is all bants but still pretty embarrassing for poor Rich.

Luckily, Gordon Ramsay isn’t one of the presenters on Sunday Brunch, or things might not have turned out so well.
