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!

'When you're positive, good things happen.'

Miss Fashion Influencer Person, we have the results of your tuberculosis test.

Eek!

JT just Oz-splaining haggis?

🤣🤣. On excellent form as ever Esma

I have turned it off
the voice over woman sounds like her eyes have rolled so far back in her head they've come back round again describing that love islander.
and then Antony started singing
no thanks

I don’t know any except Antony Costa because I’m a Blue fan. Why the drag Queen???

What! There are ringers in da house! Has the BBC no shame.

This in many ways feels like the beginning of a new era. Not just because Gregg is no longer with us, but because many of these ahem celebrities are not from mainstream channels but social media and therefore not known by people of a certain age - like me for example!

Imagine if these are the best people they’re starting the series with? 😳

I'm watching but I still have no clue who all but two of these people are.

Grace taking over the Speaking Cock role with ease

I think you speak for all of us, Esma...

I’ve not seen who else is coming up this series

😂

I've seen Alfie Boe and Michelle Heaton in a list - don't know if its real, but it has all of these...

Bbc quota.

Very early for custard. We haven’t even had a Nonna yet.

This woman making crumble getting right on my nerves with her fake laughter

How can that be delicious? Chick pea water, cucumber and raw garlic. Honestly, this is episode one, being weird eg sprinkling the plate with fire ants, never used to arrive until episode 6.

Is anyone’s dish going to be inedible?

And that costa fellow with his dreadful laugh

Bloody hell, I've only half been paying attention and didn't recognise him until I read this.

Grace Dent looks very different...

'I'm called Cat and I'm the chef and I know what I'm doing.'

Hang on, I think that's what my cat must be saying when he sits on the kitchen table and meows at me incessantly every time I go near the fridge.

"I haven't cooked for years, I hope it's like riding a bike" - your agent books you on a cooking show, and you don't do some basic practice? Are you an idiot?

He was the well covered one in Blue, but he hasn't eaten a carb for over a year!
