🚨 Celebrity MasterChef has left fans seriously divided — and the latest elimination has sparked a HUGE reaction!
Celebrity MasterChef divides fans with latest elimination
Who left the kitchen?
Spoilers for Wednesday’s episode of Celebrity MasterChef follow.
Celebrity MasterChef viewers seem to be split down the middle over the latest elimination. YouTuber Tom Simons, better known as TommyInnit, was sent home by Grace Dent and Giorgio Locatelli.
His exit leaves actor Donna Preston, Gladiators star Emily Steel, dancer Eric Underwood and EastEnders legend Nitin Ganatra to battle it out as the second heat of the series continues.
Tom was seen struggling in tonight’s challenges, and his dessert – waffles – underwhelmed the judges, despite some praise from special guest Zoe Ball.
As viewers took to social media at the end of the episode, it seems they were divided over the outcome.
On X, one said: “Awww gutted Tom has gone he was my favourite”, while another agreed: “Tom wuz robbed.”
Another Tom enthusiast wrote: “Tom’s hilarious – first his chili and now the waffles. This lot are very funny #celebritymasterchef.”
However, one viewer joked: “Tom wouldn’t even pass GCSE Food Tech.” Over on Bluesky, one commentator was “really hoping Tom goes home”.
Last week’s first heat resulted in the eliminations of Jay McGuinness and Jason Mohammed, leaving Emily Campbell, Joe Pasquale and Shakira Khan to progress.
Next week, the third heat will see Paralympic athlete Lauren Stedman, broadcaster Melvin Odoom, Corrie icon Sue Cleaver, The Saturdays’ Una Healy and YouTuber Max Fosh face-off.
Cleaver, it seems, ran into difficulty while filming her episodes – and accidentally sliced through her right index finger as she chopped up vegetables with a Japanese knife.
“I nearly cut my finger off, and it’s only day one. I’m panicking a bit,” she’ll be seen saying.
Celebrity MasterChef continues Friday, 28 August at 8pm on BBC One
