When reality TV offers an unexpected friendship or a good bromance, it makes for great watching and thanks to Celebrity MasterChef, we've got a new one to enjoy.

TV presenter Gethin Jones and entrepreneur Amar Latif have become quite the duo, and viewers are loving watching them in the kitchen together.

In fact, some viewers loved their interactions so much, they are even calling for them to have their own show together – #TeamAmin.

One viewer tweeted: "Watching Amar and Gethin this week has brought me such joy. Amar is so inspiring and Gethin's passion and progress he's made this week has been wonderful to see. Their friendship growing has made for perfect TV this week."

Another wrote: "Loving the friendship between @GethincJones and @AmarLatif_ on @MasterChefUK! I love that Amar isn't letting a little thing like blindness stop him competing and loving Gethin's support. 100% rooting for both of them!"

A third added: "I usually am really judgemental with the overuse of the word “love” in tv competitions but quite frankly I love Gethin and Amar and their teamwork so I’m joining in with their love fest"

Amar recently admitted that Celebrity MasterChef has "changed his life" and has forced him to learn to cook.

He admitted he "can't believe how I did it", and really worked hard at learning all his new culinary skills.

"The show has changed my life. I invite friends home, and make lovely things and I present it well," he said. "Because I was blind, I thought you just put stuff on the plate and eat it. I didn't realise there was this world of presenting food in such a nice way."

Celebrity MasterChef airs on BBC One.
