Sir Trevor McDonald, 85, shocks fans with his ageless appearance-Pierra Willix-Entertainment – Metro

Sir Trevor McDonald has left fans in awe with his youthful appearance.

The broadcaster is best known for his career as a news presenter with Independent Television News (ITN).

After working as a print and broadcast journalist in Trinidad, he became a general reported on ITN in 1973 and was also the station’s first black reporter.

In 1992 he was promoted to become the sole presenter of News at Ten and seven years later was knighted for his services to journalism.

He retired from News at Ten in 2008 but has continued to appear on screens, notably in several documentaries.

However, it was his latest TV appearance that saw the 85-year-old leave viewers shocked.

Appearing on Saturday Kitchen this weekend, Sir Trevor spoke about his recently released memoir, On Cricket, which details his childhood in the Caribbean and his lifelong love of the titular sport.

Commenting on his appearance, viewer Stuart posted on X: ‘I swear Sir Trevor McDonald looks younger than he did 10 years ago.’

Others also expressed their admiration of the broadcaster.

‘I could listen to Sir Trevor all day…’ Rach shared.

‘Sir Trevor is such a lovely man he deserves food heaven…’ user MrChambers added.

Also appearing on the show was Scottish chef Julie Lin, who made a Malay-O-Fish burger with homemade chips.

However, while Italian chef Gennaro Contaldo was eager to tuck in, Sir Trevor was more focused on the wine despite declaring how much he loved to eat at the start of the show.

Some were left somewhat confused after Sir Trevor didn’t appear to touch any of the following dishes he was also presented with on the cooking show.

‘Did Trevor have a full English before the show cause he sure isn’t hungry at all!!!’ one person also shared on X.

‘Trevor isn’t trying anything,’ Susan pointed out.

‘Trevor never touched that last dish. He is not a foodie 🤣🤣’ John shared.

However later in the episode he did try a cheese toastie made by guest chefs Kate Cartler-Larg and Sam Larg from the Cheesy Toast Shack.

Viewers also got the chance to vote for his food heaven, a roasted halibut with a prawn butter sauce, or food hell, pot-roasted pork loin with mushroom stuffing, with the former being chosen and then prepared for Sir Trevor.

Just before the credits began rolling, he appeared very keen to try that dish though, declaring it was ‘lovely’ after trying a prawn.

Saturday Kitchen airs weekly at 10am on BBC One.
