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!

Grandad alert!

Grandad alert!

@viques jinx!

It's ambiguous whether he's alive or dead.

I didn't know it was on so I'm watching behind on IPlayer. I don't think I know these people.

I think it looks like she's got some strange earlobe infection...

Waves hello!

I don’t like the earrings full stop.

Cyprus Nonna

Antony was a lovely looking lad <what happened?>

'You used to see the old grannies.....'

Not just one nan, not even two. Multiple nans!!!! Is this a first?

I bet Uma will end up on Strictly.

As caterer?

Oh, it's all coming back to me now……'it needs to be cooked really well'

You don’t say! I never thought of that!

Not sure they should count if they’re other people’s grannies!

Hardly! He was the munter in Blue who could sing (as could the others)

I'm finding baldy vegan guy the least annoying, That's about the best endorsement I can do.

Gaz is a goner

Grace has no idea what a hooker is.

You are not alone. This is probably why they kept John on, otherwise it would be a room of strangers running around with sharp knives and we would all be hiding behind our sofas.

Anyone else amazed at the way the celebs knowledge of world cuisine and complicated cooking techniques has improved since round one, which was less than 45 minutes ago. Miracle.

The whole programme is shit, but Grace's earrings are the biggest disappointment

Ginger’s waffles look tasty

Lovely earrings.

Ginger, 🌶️ and garlic, but not too much for Grace.

I did like the apple crumble.

JT was making some worryingly Greggggggg-like noises there 🤢

I remember the Strictly threads where Simon Webb was known as The Least Worst One From Blue.
