It’s the dawn of a new (ish) era: Sleb Masterchef is back

[Halsall]

This has crept up on me and no mistake! It starts tomorrow with Grace Dent in situ as new host with soon-to-depart JT. I haven’t heard of any of the slebs so that’s a great start.

With apologies to the (many) I've missed or who have name-changed - I tried names I knew but couldn’t post as some weren’t current and had to randomly remove, so please pass it on!

Also paging @Ellenanora7 and @GrouchyKiwi

Omg already! So glad, placemarking

Ooh thanks. Jungle tonight and this tomorrow. Getting spoiled.

It’s 9pm tomorrow - a later start than usual, I think? Then 8 on Tuesday and 9 on Thursday.

Saw this on the sky planner. I know about half of them so should be OK.
Grace is my girl crush so delighted she gets a full time series. Can't decide if Jonty should have been sacked or not, but thrilled the baldy grocery is gone.
Looking forward to it.

Thanks. Will tune in. Interested to see Grace presenting.

Thanks @Halsalland hello Chuffs. I’m looking forward to seeing Grace and also seeing if I recognise any of the slebs !

I’ve never watched the celebrity version (the professionals is my thing and the amateurs is always watchable) but I might just to see the new set up.

This is from this morning:

Grace Dent’s mission to save MasterChef: ‘It was a very male place’

I'm away most of next week so I will try to fit in seeing MC if possible. I only recognise Anthony Costa from this first week. I think they should have kept JT, I'm not a big fan of Anna Haugh

Woohoo! And no shouty greengrocer! Thanks for the thread and tag, @Halsall

Thanks for the tag @Halsall!
I do wish it was in earlier in the evening, I’m still an hour ahead!

Whoo hoo! I can't stand im a sleb or strictly so this will fill my junk tv urge until Xmas.

Course there's a bloke in a frock as its bbc.🤨

Whoot. Been keeping an eye for the fred.

Part of me is glad its 9 tomorrow and part of me is crying. Started a new ft job last Tuesday. Do be up at half 5 of a morning so thoughts of staying up til 10!!!

Also now its getting dark and cold I miss mammy more. Can't believe its been 6 months.

See yiz all tomorrow chuffs

Thanks @Halsall I'm in!

Thanks @Halsall - I won’t make tomorrow live but looking forward to catching up with everyone later this week over a a failed chocolate fondant and a bit of under-cooked lamb.

Sending 💐💐💐 @PotterHead1985

I’ve set my reminder on the tv - just can’t guarantee I’ll stay awake!
Still so very new for you @PotterHead1985, sending unhuggy hugs

I think I'll be watching on catch up tomorrow but will definitely keep an eye of everyone's observations!

Im either going to be late or miss live completely (and in that case pray I can find catch up tomorrow). Ive an apt with the ooh doc at 9.10

I’ve always loved celebrity masterchef but I won’t be watching as I can’t stand Grace Dent and won’t be the same without Greg Wallace.

Thanks for the heads up. I avoided the last MC as it contained an ingredient that causes me to vomit, but love Grace . Interesting celeb fact, we use the same takeaway. Delivery only, no chats waiting for the naan.

It should be a foraging safe environment, but there will I fear be annoying cheffy nonsense going on. Plus nonnas, alive or dead because it wouldn’t be the same in a Nonna free zone.

Evening. I’m home just in time to watch. Might falll asleep during, not heard of the celebs either.

Here we go, Chuffs! Evening one and all.
