As the tenth season of The Great British Sewing Bee kicked off, all eyes were on the new host, comedian Kiell Smith-Bynoe. With previous hosts including the likes of Sara Pascoe, Joe Lycett, and Claudia Winkleman, Kiell had some big shoes to fill. And while some viewers were charmed by his hosting style, others were left divided.
Kiell, a 35-year-old media personality known for his role in the BBC sitcom Ghosts, seemed to have a natural way of engaging with the contestants and keeping the show moving. However, not everyone was convinced. As the 12 amateur tailors battled it out to become Britain's top tailor, fans couldn't help but voice their opinions on Kiell's performance.
Some praised him for his humor and energy, with one user even comparing him to a contestant on Pointless who accidentally ended up on The Great British Sewing Bee. Others were not as impressed, with one user admitting they didn't even know who he was. But love him or hate him, Kiell definitely made an impression on viewers.
As the contestants worked against the clock to complete their tasks, the judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young were joined by Kiell. However, during the episode, it became apparent that Esme was not familiar with Kiell or his previous work. This led to some fans questioning why he was chosen for the hosting role.
But despite the mixed reviews, Kiell seemed to take it all in stride. In fact, he even admitted on The One Show that he was surprised to be asked back after previously appearing in a Sewing Bee Christmas Special. And while he may not have been the most well-known personality among the contestants, he certainly brought his own unique style to the show.
Some viewers even went as far as to say that Kiell was a "top tier addition" to the show, while others couldn't help but compare him to the British comedy 2:22 A Ghost Story. And while not everyone was certain about his hosting abilities, most seemed to agree that he was a good fit for the show.
With a mix of praise and criticism, Kiell's debut on The Great British Sewing Bee certainly stirred up some conversation among fans. But regardless of their opinions, viewers can tune in next Tuesday at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer to see more of Kiell's hosting skills in action.
