There was a frisson of excitement at Idia’s Community Kitchen in Hackney when Celebrity Gogglebox star Babatunde Aléshé dropped in for a visit to support our Christmas Campaign.
The actor and stand-up comedian arrived at midday to prepare jollof rice and vegetables for some of the charity’s 1,000 weekly patrons and then sat down for a fist bump and a chat with early arrivals who had come for a hot meal, a bag of surplus fresh produce to take home, and a chat.
