Yahoo News Here's who got booted from Celebrity MasterChef
Celebrity MasterChef returned tonight (August 16) with a new batch of wannabe chefs of varying cooking talents, ready to make our mouths water with all the delicious dishes.
This week saw comedian and actor Jim Moir (aka Vic Reeves), TV presenter Angellica Bell, seven-time snooker world champion Stephen Hendry, news reader Julia Somerville and tennis star Henri Leconte take to the kitchen.
First of all, viewers were very excited the series was back and rather impressed with the line-up.

The first task was the Mystery Box challenge where the celebrities were given a set of ingredients and told to make something edible – with rather mixed results, but everyone survived.
The second task was the most terrifying of all, as the celebrities were put into actual restaurants to cook for paying customers.
And the head chef at London restaurant Temper went down a treat.
#celebritymasterchef want to go to #temperrestaurant just to see the chef. He could make a vegetarian turn. 😂😂

The third task brought the celebs back into the MasterChef kitchen to cook their own two dishes, and many noticed Jim AND Stephen seem to have the same signature ingredient already.
Is vic going to put an egg with everything? #celebritymasterchef

Is Vic Reeves gonna put an egg on top of EVERYTHING?? 🍳🥚#celebritymasterchef

Yes to the egg Jim!!! #celebritymasterchef

#celebritymasterchef Greg Wallace and his stupid grin should piss off. Hendry is right though, a fried egg makes everything taste better
- Scott Dench-Smith (@SDenchSmith) August 16, 2017
I'm in love with Stephen Hendry already. Every dish IS improved with a fried egg. #celebritymasterchef
- Nicola Witterick (@nikkinoola) August 16, 2017
If in doubt, add a fried egg?! #celebritymasterchef

Class by Stephen Hendry (a tad behind) throwing a fried egg on his meal because he had time left #celebritymasterchef
- Fed up left bloke ϟ (@grumpyoldhector) August 16, 2017
But it was Stephen who was the first to leave, much to the fury of viewers who adored him.
Gutted that Stephen Hendry is out of #celebritymasterchef . Thought he showed real promise.

#celebritymasterchef didn't think Stephen hendry was the worst on show tonight #surprised
- Garethrhys (@gazzarhys) August 16, 2017
Stephen went?! What?! Why? #celebritymasterchef
- Jenine McNab (@jeninbos) August 16, 2017
#celebritymasterchef WTF no way should Stephen have gone, he had vision & could have won that. Julia's cooking is basic she should have gone

Other celebrities to head into the kitchen this series include S Club 7's Rachel Stevens, Paul Daniels' ex Debbie McGee and singer Patti Boulaye.
Gogglebox's Reverend Kate Bottley, TV presenter Aasmah Mir, Lock Stock's Nick Moran and Olympian Rebecca Adlington are among others.
