HIT BBC cooking show Celebrity MasterChef is back for another series, and fans can’t get enough.
But every week one unlucky celeb from the star line-up is given the boot by judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace.
Who left Celebrity MasterChef last night?
Nancy Dell’Olio, a veteran of shows including Strictly and Celebrity Big Brother, was the first star cook to get the boot on Celebrity MasterChef.
The writing may have been on the wall for the Italian, who once dated former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson, from the start.
When judge John Torode asked what was in her fridge if she needed to cook, she replied bluntly: “Water, champagne and wine.”
However, some fans were outraged she had gone, with one saying they would “riot” after she was sent packing.

Nancy Dell’Olio was the first star to leave Celebrity MasterChef
But sadly it was Nancy who John revealed would be leaving, and said: “Love your heels, love your style, thank you very much, you’re leaving us.”
The judges also crowned McFly star Danny Jones the champion after impressing them with all three dishes.
Who else is in Celebrity MasterChef?
Celebrity MasterChef 2022 attracted an impressive line-up of soap stars, musicians and actors.
There are still 19 celebrities battling out to be crowned winner.
