Celebrity MasterChef was actually impressive. But only because the first semi-final was even worse than the earlier rounds, and in ways no one would have expected.
Of course the show’s fundamental flaws were still there. The contestants weren’t really famous and their cooking not that good. - two major handicaps on a programme called Celebrity MasterChef.
The appeal of seeing whether the singer from Union J would make something not quite as bad as an actress who used to be in The Bill was as baffling as the continuing presence of Gregg Wallace (someone we’ve all heard of but surely no one likes).
Well done: Celebrity MasterChef was actually impressive. But only because the first semi-final was even worse than the earlier rounds, and in ways no one would have expected
‘I’m going to do a salad,’ paralympic athlete Stefanie Reid told him, adding: ‘you do not look excited about that’ – which begged the question why we should be if he wasn’t.
‘Why did you pick SQUASH as your favourite ingredient?!’ he spluttered when he heard her other choice.
Wallace it was who illustrated how, whereas The Great British Bake Off has perfected its formula, Celebrity MasterChef’s format was a shambles and bizarre.

Even though it was 60 minutes long the semi-final only had two ‘challenges’ and (like the restaurant round in the previous heats) the first one was irrelevant in terms of the judges’ decision.
The contestants were divided into teams and the two sides had different ingredients so as a contest was even more pointless.
The killer blow though came at the start when the narrator announced: ‘it’s 8am in the early 20th century.’
No it isn’t, you thought. Not judging by the state of Spencer Matthews’ haircut.

Mess: Wallace it was who illustrated how, whereas The Great British Bake Off has perfected its formula, Celebrity MasterChef’s format was a shambles and bizarre
The show was cashing in on those series re-creating British history like The Victorian Kitchen, by adjourning to Dudley in the Black Country to cook for ninety of the actors and volunteers in what Gregg Wallace called ‘one of the finest living museums in the country’ – a contradiction in terms if ever there was one.
The concept was ‘flexible’ to say the least.
Contestants like AJ and Josh made the same dishes they had done in the competition already (custard and tart tatin), which Gregg actively encouraged, grinning: ‘there is no substitute for experience. I like that!’
Never mind if the viewers did.
Heard to head: This week the contestants were divided into teams and the two sides had different ingredients so as a contest was even more pointless
Do it: Contestants like AJ and Josh made the same dishes they had done in the competition already (custard and tart tatin), which Gregg actively encouraged, grinning, ‘there is no substitute for experience!'
The moment Celebrity MasterChef surely ‘jumped the shark’ involved Gregg Wallace, Lisa Maxwell, and the ‘roasted cauliflower wedge stuffed with pepper’ she had elected to make regardless of lamenting: ‘I don’t have all the Indian spices I would have liked but they didn’t back in those days.’
John Torode had already thundered: ‘I don’t know what it is. She doesn’t know what it is. And the people who are going to eat it won’t know what it is!’
Gregg Wallace went even further.
Awkward: The moment Celebrity Masterchef surely ‘jumped the shark’ involved Gregg Wallace, Lisa Maxwell, and the ‘roasted cauliflower wedge stuffed with pepper’ she had elected to make
Wise words: John Torode had already thundered, ‘I don’t know what it is. She doesn’t know what it is. And the people who are going to eat it won’t know what it is!’
‘I have NO interest at all in tasting cauliflower and cheddar in a pepper!’ he insisted to Torode.
Neither he nor the BBC seemed to see the irony.
The truth was most of us had no interest in watching her make it or watching him tasting it either.
But the idea of Gregg Wallace not tasting it really had no appeal to anyone and surely meant MasterChef was officially completely pointless.
Here we go: Gregg Wallace went even further. ‘I have NO interest at all in tasting cauliflower and cheddar in a pepper!’ he insisted to Torode. Neither he nor the BBC seemed to see the irony

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
