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!

Aw sorry for you

There’s a lot of white white gnashers tonight

Alfie nearly cursed there!!

Thanks all. Yea i do hope in time it will get easier

I love romanesco. Don't love Ashley.

Ashley looks like one of those kids' games we used to play with magnetic iron filings that made great big beards on faces. Then you could turn them upside-down and they became hair.

His ears look all wrong

OOO I am beginning to warm very much to Jodie. Didn't know she was deaf and LMAO re picking up the accent!

Your mammy is always in your heart. Don’t mean to be trite. But that’s how it feels for me

That’s fascinating about the accent.

It is isn’t it. I had no idea that was possible.

Oh she is. That isnt trite at all. It is also how I feel. Its just the big firsts are a bit hard

Oh heck now I am weepy about Ashley's daughter

That pork looks anemic and a bit like tongue.

I knew that about Ashley's little daughter. Awful thing to happen

Wynne Jones’s must despair about the Welsh team now

aw Ashley’s daughter. Heartbreaking

One day at a time, @PotterHead1985 - a minute at a time if you need that. Just take it very slowly and be kind to yourself (have you tried the long-running 'losing a parent' thread on here? It’s a really helpful place to go sometimes)

ETA - sorry, quoted the wrong post but ykwim!

Evening I’m not used to seeing Alfie without mr ball. Not sure he has much personality on his own.

Omg Alfie boe looks fantastic, goof for him

I'm 16 mins behind

This alun man is sexy omg

He is that!

I have indeed. At times I find it helpful and at times upsetting.

I think part of my problem is I havent stopped since she died, between sorting everything out around her death, the house, pride, courses, finding a job and now working full time.

And his beard looks stuck on. I like Alfie, quiet and unassuming. And Jodie. But she was boiling those peppers with the broccoli

Sorry @PotterHead1985 xx

That pork looks dry to me

Eek that pork

I am not an Ashley fan. I didnt like him on ex on the beach

Then I did a 180 when I saw what an absolutely fantastic job he did for his sweet little girl 🥺

Then I did another 180 😬😬 - the mother of his girl is doing well, I think
