Dermot O'Leary: Saturday night was the only night when we were allowed to eat in front of the telly. Mum would come home and we would do a picnic, actually putting a rug down in the front room to watch Tales of the Golden Monkey, a show set in the 1930s about a guy who had a floating boat. My mum would make homemade burgers which were incredible - big mounds of meat. I never, ever had a processed burger in my whole growing-up until I went to McDonald's when I was 15.
