After a highly competitive final, Celebrity MasterChef has crowned its winner of 2018.
Made in Chelsea‘s Spencer Matthews, former rugby player Martin Bayfield and ex-EastEnders star John Partridge were the last three contestants duking it out for that lucrative trophy.
And the celeb who came out on top was… John Partridge!
The actor was incredibly emotional after being named victorious, saying: “It’s just one of the best experiences of my life. I thought it was going to be all about cooking and food, and it ended up being so much more than that. It just feels really good.”
Hosts John Torode and Gregg Wallace were ultimately won over by John’s ability to make the food he loves while brining a smile to their faces.
It certainly wasn’t an easy route to glory for John, though, as earlier in the episode, the three contestants had to prepare a course each for five of the UK’s best chefs, including Marcus Wareing, Robin Gill, Romy Gill MBE, Shaun Rankin and Lisa Goodwin-Allen.
John excelled in that task, going out of his comfort zone to impress the chefs with a chocolate parve with chocolate sponge, chocolate mousse, blood orange segments, blood orange curd and a candied orange peel garnish.
Spencer and Martin also impressed with their respective dishes, but it was John’s three-course meal in the final challenge that edged it for him.
