Yahoo News 'Celebrity MasterChef' viewers complain they don't know ANY of the new contestants
Celebrity MasterChef ushered in its final heat on BBC1 last night, with five new contestants taking to the hobs.
The only problem was that viewers didn’t know who any of them were.
Strictly Come Dancing pro-dancer AJ Pritchard was perhaps the best known of the bunch, but the others left fans of the show scratching their heads and heading for Google.
🍽 @Aj11Ace, @stellaparton, @jay_n_co and @thelisamaxwell are all up for a place in the Celebrity MasterChef semi-final… but only two can go through.
Find out who will cut the mustard tonight at 8.30pm on @BBCOne! #MasterChefUK pic.twitter.com/n3UtLNTiLh

They included Jay Blades, a furniture designer who’s appeared on TV restoration shows and This Morning, Radio 1 mid-morning DJ Clara Amfo, actress and former Loose Women panellist Lisa Maxwell, and Dolly Parton’s sister Stella.
Naturally, many took their withering criticisms to Twitter:
Sorry, no idea who 75% of them were on #CelebrityMasterchef last night.

Looks like #CelebrityMasterchef has completely run out of ‘celebrities’. Barrel well and truly scraped.

So I genuinely don’t think I know any of the #CelebrityMasterchef contestants. Not one. #officiallyold
