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!

@EsmaCannonball🤣🤣

This chef has nice eyes. Like a soulful Jack Russell.

I can’t take to Grace in this role. She’s better as a critic.

🤣

Oh, do I get to make my annual joke?

Tarka dhal, like a normal curry, just a little 'otter.

The idea of the food is amazing

I hate to say it but I totally agree.

🤣

Bombay Frankie sounds like a dodgy bookie from an episode of Minder. 'Bombay Frankie says he'll break all my fingers unless I pay up.'

Such great food from the chef

That's genuinely the second time someone has told me that joke today!

Fucks sake grace.

I’m actually warming to Ginger, he’s not as bad as I first thought. Getting annoyed though at Grace being all over him.

That man’s laughing is unbearable. Grounds for divorce

It’s excruciating.

Choomeric

Uma seems like someone who has watched a lot of TikTok cooking videos. I guess this is the audience they are trying to capture.

Whatever that is Gaz is making it looks like burnt studenty bean burgers.

Yes. First Strictly, now this.

I would prefer to see vegan food without pretend meat - there must be zillions of Pakistani dishes he could adapt.

There's a few from this lot who are annoying me, not gonna lie.

And I love a drag queen, but the beeb are starting to grate on even me with having to have one in every show

Seriously. Same as what we were saying during the ametures season

Yesterday none of them could cook. NOW

Yes, I really like La Voix on Strictly but it does seem like a very regressive sort of representation for gay men.

Who was the vegan in the last series who made pretendy plant-based pork? 🤢 (but also abandoned all her principles and cooked actual meat at one point)
