Sending out the Sleb Masterchef bat-signal

[Halsall]

God knows we could all do with some cheering up, so the hot news is that SLEB MASTERCHEF WILL BE RETURNING SOON

Not sure exactly when but we need time to anticipate, non?

Heads up you Mastercheffians -

And every other Mastercheffian I've managed to leave off the list, no offence intended

Gatecrasher alert! Me, apologies. Thank you, will be warming up my irritation on GBBO and rejected lover P Hollywood and will thus be nicely primed for this.

Ooooh I’m back in.

If you want to look...

Oh thanks, have heard of 6 of them and, can't wait, GregG will be back, slurping and gurning. Read an interview with his third wife the other d a y, how he got a fourth I can't imagine. I expect she didn't read it.

Wooo thank you Halsall

PLEASE count me in!!!

Oooo please can I gatecrash? Looking forward to this and gbbo being back.

No such thing as a gatecrasher, welcome one and all

Good to have you back ShirleyPhallus

I’ve already read one article dissing the line-up as dull and uninspired. Like it’s usually full of sparkling culinary talent

Well, i’ve heard of 6 of them- but there’s no one who I immediately warm to.....

Joey Essex is likely to be good value. Gemma Collins was awful the other year but fantastic entertainment

Thank you. Looking forward to it.

I'm in! Thanks Halsall

Anyone know when it starts?

I've been checking the listings to see when it starts but no luck

Me me!!!

I’ll watch it for Tomasz and the chance of seeing him getting his plums out....

And making fruit pie with them obvs.

I've not heard back f the weatherman and Zandra Rhodes from that lot.

Of the weatherman. Don't know where the back came from

I bet the weatherman can cook. I’m tipping him to win.

Or Oti. I bet she’s one of those people who is good at everything she does- because she practises loads. She will have started practising the minute she got the call.

Oh I love Joey Essex

Ooh. I hope it starts soon.

I've been binge watching Australian MasterChef lately. All seasons are on Amazon Prime.

I've heard of:
Martha
Greg
Oti
Tomasz
Josie
and Zandra.

I'm pretty sure that's a record for me.

Ooo I don't usually watch the sleb version, just the pleb version. But I think I might this time. I've actually (sort of) heard of 12 of them!!!!! As a percentage rate it's better than Strictly.

Oh go on Biscuit. You know you want to

All I can see online is that it begins 'in the summer'....and it's summer now, so let's have it, please!
