Watch his comedy tantrum after he loses viewers' vote

James Acaster trashed the set of Saturday Kitchen in a comedy rampage today.

The stand-up  wreaked havoc after the public voted against his preferred dish during the show'sregular Food Heaven or Food Hell segment.

He overturned a Christmas wreath on the table, punched a  stuffed polar bear in the face and  grappled with a Christmas tree, sending ornaments flying.

Acaster was on the show with his Off Menu co-host Ed Gamble. The outburst in the final minutes of the live broadcast came after viewers picked Gamble's  tapas over Acaster's unconventional panettone tiramisu-Christmas pudding creation.

Presenter Matt Tebbutt and the other guests, chefs Andi Oliver, Tasha Marikkar and Ben Lippett and sommelier Helen McGinn, were amused by the anrics.
