Chris Eubank has been on Celebrity MasterChef kitchen this week and the results were… wonderful.
The former boxing champion competed alongside Mel Blatt, Gareth Malone and Cliff Parisi and tried to impress judges Greg Wallace and John Torode.
What did he serve? There was butternut squash, as well as pesto pasta and fish and chips.
It’s fair to say that his skills were limited and some viewers pointed out that he got more than his fair share of help from the judges when preparing his dishes, but he still managed to impress them with some from his tastes.

But it wasn’t his cooking that people were really taking notice of, it was his unique mannerisms and wonderfully quirky interactions with his colleagues that had everyone reacting on social media.
As always, he was full of one-liners.
When asked if he was worried about cooking on the show, he replied: “Once you’ve been kicked in the teeth by Nigel Benn, you’re used to fear.”
Despite predicting that he would win the entire competition before going into the kitchen, he left the show after being eliminated.
But he had already made a huge impression on viewers – forget ‘youth hosteling with Chris Eubank’, his appearance on the series has shown the man needs his own cooking show now.
