Celebrity MasterChef fans 'sick' as chef serves up 'most unusual food' in show history


Celebrity MasterChef left some viewers confused and others disgusted as Dominic Skinner made an unsual dish in the kitchen.

The pressure was on for the quater-finalists on Friday's show (September 6) as Dom, Strictly's Vito Coppola and singer Mutya Buena battled it out for their place in semi-finals. During the episode the three stars were challened with making two dishes for judges Greg Wallace and John Torode as well as former Celebrity MasterChef stars.

But when it was time for Dom to showcase his culinary skills he left viewers at home stunned with his menu. For his starters, Dom decided to make pink prawn toast.

However his main dish made fans at home quiver, when he served up a plate of blue basmati rice, with crispy chicken and brocoli.

Heading over to X in their droves, fans shared their revulsion online. One viewer said: "Blue rice.... I'll pass, thanks." Another echoed: "Blue basmati rice? [sick face emoji]. Oh dear. That’s a no."

A third added: "Top tip, never eat yellow snow, or blue rice." A fourth person shared their opinion and wrote: "I don't like artificial colourings. Dom may be out."

Dom's blue rice also received a mixed reaction from the returning guests too. Gogglebox icon Mica Ven confessed she was "scared" to try the rice while adding that Dom was very "creative".

As the guests and the judges tucked into Dom's food, it was evident that perphaps the rice did not need to be dyed in the blue colour. However, they did enjoy the chicken bites that Dom – who is a judge on BBC's Glow up – served to them.

Despite Dom's adventurous palate, he managed to make it through to semi-finals. While Sugababes Singer Mutya was sent home.

After seeing the results, fans gave a mixed reaction to Mutya's departure. One social media user wrote: "Happy that Vito made the Semi-Final, gutted for Mutya though."

Another penned: "Mutya should be through!" But a third viewer gave a different view and said: "I'm rooting for Mutya to go. Nothing about her food is exciting."
