Sunday Brunch fans were let down as one guest of the show failed to make an appearance

Sunday Brunch got off to an awkward start on March 2nd after one of the celebrity bookings failed to show up for the Channel 4 programme.

Producers had secured Selling Sunset star Bre Tiesi who was supposed to take a seat on the panel alongside former TOWIE star Megan McKenna, G’Wed actor Jake Kenny-Byrne, writer Liz Pichon, singer Antony Szmierek and Jon Ronson.

With Bre visibly missing but featuring on the show’s schedule, Tim interrupted the programme with a “breaking news” update on the whereabouts of the reality star.

The programme was more than half way into the episode when they finally addressed Bre’s absence, explaining she had attended the 2025 BRIT Awards last night.

Tim Lovejoy brought the programme to a halt for breaking news over missing guest

He confirmed to viewers: “Breaking news Bre from Selling Sunset is in the car and she’s at the hotel,” as chimes of praise could be heard all around the studio.

Tim added: “For anyone that doesn’t know Bre was supposed to be on the show this morning but she went to the BRITs last night and so she is going to turn up, when she turns up but she’s a friend of ours, so we don’t mind.”

“We just hope she manages to make it at some stage,” Tim hilariously added.

Bre found fame on the Netflix series Selling Sunset in 2022, starring on the hit programme as one of the real estate agents working at the luxury Hollywood Hills brokerage, The Oppenheim Group.

She is also mother to a son named Legendary Love who she shares with rapper and comedian Nick Cannon. In December last year, Bre spoke out to confirm on Sophie Habboo’s podcast that they were very much an item still.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the programme, Tim started to become nervous that Bre wouldn’t make it on to the show at all, requesting for his co-host Simon Rimmer to guess on whether she’d arrive.

Sunday Brunch chaos as just four guests remained on-airTurning to his co-star Tim asked: “What do you think. Do you think Bre’s going to make it on to the show?” Positively Simon estimated: “Yeah I’m going to go with 12:20pm,” indicating his estimation for her arrival.

It was at this point, Tim received a second update via his earpiece, airing: “Ohh I’ve just heard she’s in the taxi on her way down from Luton to London.”

There was further chaos to come as Tim also had to confirm why TOWIE and X Factor star Megan had now vanished from her seat half way through the show, leaving just four guests on-air.

Addressing her absence, Tim said: “Sorry Megan has just had to step away to feed Landon [her baby son], which is why she’s now missing.”

Bre did finally make it to show, arriving in the studio at 12:30pm, telling the hosts: “I am not well, sorry guys,” the Netflix star confessed she’d drank several tequila shots and got back to her hotel at 6am.

Sunday Brunch airs each Sunday on Channel 4, from 10am.
