A DISGUSTED Gregg Wallace slammed the “terrible” cooking of Gemma Collins on Thursday’s festive edition of Celebrity MasterChef.
Gregg and John Torode were back in the MasterChef kitchen on Thursday evening – but it was the cooking of Gemma that stole the show.
They welcomed back former celebrity contestants Gemma, Joe Swash, Richard Coles, Mica Paris and Les Dennis for a festive edition of the BBC cooking show.
Undoubtedly, though, one of the most talked-about dishes of the contest went to Gemma and her sweet dessert – but with a fiery twist.
The narrator explained the details of Gemma’s first Christmassy dish to viewers, saying: “Gemma has made a British sticky figgy pudding with a brandy-infused butterscotch sauce topped with a praline shard and fresh chilli.
“She’s added a festive dusting of edible glitter and a shot of clementine, lime, brandy, chilli and ginger.”
But while those at home were aware Gemma had topped her pudding with chilli, it appeared the former Dancing on Ice star was none the wiser.
Spotting the festive shot on the plate, Gregg began: “Do you mind if I have a taste of my shot first before I commit?”
“Go for it,” Gemma encouraged but just moments later, Gregg began to grimace: “Whoa, whoa!”
“Now you can cleanse your palate with the lime,” Gemma added.
“Mate, cleanse your palate? You could cleanse your bath tiles as well,” Gregg joked, prompting nervous laughter from the GC.
Understandably apprehensive of what lied ahead with the pudding, Gregg quizzed: “Have you put chilli on here as well?”
But Gemma reassured him he was safe from spice with the sweet treat: “No, they’re cranberries.”
However, after taking one nibble, Gregg whimpered as he realised Gemma had gotten her wires crossed.
“Whoa!” Gregg shouted as Gemma put her hand to her mouth. “That’s a chilli!”
“Maybe the brandy got to me,” a mortified Gemma replied.
Despite Gemma’s best efforts, Richard emerged victorious at the end of the evening.
The Celebrity MasterChef Christmas special is available to stream on the BBC iPlayer.
