Celebrity Masterchef bring your fruit based salads and comfit egg yolks this way

[fourquenelles]

Thought I'd open up in anticipation as I have Fat Club tonight so may miss the very start.

I was going to suggest a drinking game. Take a swig every time Greg(g) gurns to camera but we would all be pissed in the first 3 minutes.

Confit duck leg! (Drink!) Samphire! (drink!) Deconstructed apple crumble! (Drink!) Heritage carrots with the stubby ends left on! (Drink!)Cooking the fish sous vide even though it ruins the texture! (Drink!) Bloody hell we're going to be hammered..

Glove stocking up the booze globe (I am so chichi) now!

Which celebrities are in it?

RickEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Sid Owen looking quite yum in his PR photo.

Greg(g) lookie likie David Harper. I may get confused.

Sid Owen? He used to own a restaurant in France, didn't he? Surely that disqualifies him, a bit?

Sinitta. Noooooooooo!

Love Masterchef though.

You are right Zebra I have just googled "EastEnders star Sid Owen has retired from acting and moved to France to run his ­restaurant business." Maybe he is front of house rather than in he kitchen? Interesting.........

a good swig when some actress type claims "oh yah...my parents are chefs who have run all the restaurants in our town since they were 14 years old..." but clearly has nfi which way round to hold a sharp knife.

and a top up when the self proclaimed foodie celeb cannot identify salmon, or basil.

I am getting over excited Tonde I may have to draw up a spreadsheet.

Well hello there my fellow Mastercheffians, my comrades in arms against Gregg bloody Wallace.!

slaps squoosh heartily on the back and passes her a taster dish of strawberries liberally scattered on green leaves topped with confit egg yolk and flaked salmon (or is that basil?) and cracked black pepper. Enjoy!

Yay!!! Celebrity Masterchef is my absolute fave. Mmmmm Gleb

Yum. Looks delicious four

My Z lister knowledge is generally pretty good but I haven't heard of half of that lot!

Look forward to seeing Rev Richard Coles though.

Sid Owen? He used to own a restaurant in France, didn't he? Surely that disqualifies him, a bit?

Top Z list knowledge. I salute you.

Oh fab! Tommy Cannon! love him. David Harper will be good value too and Louise Minchin will be super-organised and healthy.

Love love love watching this.

I love the the Rev!! and I thought I had heard one of the bbc breakfast team was in in..Louise Minchin? Blonde bob woman.... but so far I have not recognised a single face in the trailers.

Whattttt!!!!! runs in wiping sweat from brow, how did I not see this until now

Hello everyone, no scabby eyes this time around all fit and healthy and ready to chuck things at Gregg.

I'm looking forward to this, so sick of bloody football interfering with my telly viewing.

Looking forward to this !

Pulls up chair. What nibbles do I need to get in to watch with? Must eat when watching MC.

Arched I'm going for maltesers, biscuits, crisps and beer

Ooh! Can I join? Gregg calls 'chocolate' "Choklit" (Drink!), Gregg leers suggestively at a lady young enough to be his daughter (Drink!), Gregg holds his spoon like a toddler (Drink!)
You're all going to be hammered 15 mins in.

I have been to Aldi in preparation! Pesto stuffed olives ahoy! To be served atop a still quacking slab of duck breast obviously (don't forget to score the skin and crisp it up now!)
