Celebrity MasterChef spoilers follow.
Celebrity MasterChef has seen its first contestant exit the series, with Snoochie Shy leaving the kitchen.
The BBC show returned with its 19th series on Tuesday (August 13), with five celebrities – Ian ‘H’ Watkins, Charlotte Crosby, Edith Bowman, Craig Doyle and Snoochie Shy – battling it out in the first heat.
The group had to partake in two tasks, the first of which saw them prepare a spontaneous dish from an ingredient they would only discover in the moment. The second challenge required two dishes to be cooked, with a dessert following a main.

After judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace gobbled up all the dishes, BBC Radio 1Xtra DJ Snoochie was sent packing. The remaining four contestants advanced to the next stage.
"Obviously, it's a little bit sad to be going home," she said following the decision. "But a lot of disasters happened in that kitchen, so I was expecting, it to be fair. I'm going to go home, put my feet up, have a glass of wine and pick up my dog from Doggy Daycare."
Several fans reacted to Snoochie's departure on social media, with one writing on X/Twitter: "Well done you @snoochieshy #CelebrityMasterChef you looked gorgeous and done well. Hope your doggie got a big cuddle."
