MasterChef viewers demand contestant is 'disqualified' after he makes a MAJOR blunder
This year's series of Masterchef had already been marred in controversy, after its stars John Torode and Gregg Wallace were axed by bosses. But viewers were venting their fury for a wholly different reason after Wednesday's episode, as they demanded a contestant be 'disqualified' for a major gaffe. The show saw the remaining six contenders - Naomi, Martin, Joy, Michael, Reuben and Victoria - face the challenge of impressing Gregg and John with their 'basic to brilliant' creations. Contestants were ask to transform everyday home cooking into something 'extraordinary', and IT project manager Reuben chose to present traditional meatballs alongside handmade pappardelle pasta in tomato sauce. Things took a turn when Gregg cut into the meatballs to taste them, only to discover they were still raw inside. Despite earning praise for his pasta and sauce, Gregg and John were quick to share thoughts on the main element of the dish being undercooked. Gregg said: 'Big issue with the meatballs,' whilst John added: 'I cannot ignore the fact that you've got meatballs that aren't cooked all the way through.' Visibly dejected by the feedback, Reuben admitted: 'I'm feeling deflated. After all, they weren't cooked all the way through, so I can forgive them for not wanting to eat them.' Viewers were also quick to make their feelings known on social media, with some claiming Reuben should be 'disqualified' for the gaffe. Posts on X included: 'Undercooked meatballs should be instant disqualification; 'Were they cooked with a blowtorch?; 'Sorry, but that's a major schoolboy error at the stage he should absolutely be disqualified. Shame.' Reuben's meant he ultimately missed out on a place in the quarter-finals, and he was sent home along with Joy and Martin. It comes days after MasterChef was ripped to shreds for its 'disgraceful' editing of Gregg in its latest episode, with viewers declaring: 'Is this for real?' Viewers were also quick to make their feelings known on social media, with some claiming Reuben should be 'disqualified' for the gaffe Gregg and co-host John Torode were sacked after almost 20 years on the show by the BBC last month after an investigation upheld allegations about their poor behaviour. Wallace had 40 complaints upheld, including one where he was accused of wandering around set naked with a sock on his penis. Torode was found to have used a racist term in 2018. Their final series of MasterChef was filmed before they were both fired. The show's bosses have insisted on keeping them in the final edit - but only if they were on screen less and their banter and jokes were cut down to a minimum. Several contestants asked to be edited out themselves to avoid being on screen with them. Daily Mail revealed that viewers have pointed out 'disgraceful' edits in the new series on BBC One and iPlayer, with many cuts appearing awkward and repetitive, including those of Mr Wallace. In one scene shown last week, stills of Gregg pulling the same face three times in around a minute made it to air - with many suggesting that the BBC and production company Banijay used the same footage of the disgraced host repeatedly through the show. Some of his fans have even claimed the edits, where Gregg gives a semi-gurning smile, were deliberately to embarrass him and 'make him look demented'. TikTok user Gingernat Design shared a particularly unusual example, writing: 'Clever editing from MasterChef. 'Whether this is to do with the allegations or not I don't know, but it's jokes how they just froze Gregg Wallace for an entire conversation.' The now-viral clip sees a contestant discuss her performance with Torode and Wallace. The same shot of Wallace appears to be used three times in succession - and he is seen with a broad grin fixed on his face. The uncanny scene has horrified fans, who rushed to social media to express their disapproval.

The woman who made Katie Price: Terminally ill mother Amy whose been her daughter's constant support, her damning verdict on Peter Andre and her fears for Princess
She describes herself as an 'ordinary mum, wife and granny' who adores dogs, horses and yoga, but Amy Price would be the first to admit that being a mother to her first-born daughter 'came with a lot more than I bargained for'. Amy, 73, has had to put up with more than the average set of motherly worries after watching her daughter endure multiple failed marriages, suicide attempts, addiction battles, and family feuds, as well as watching her morph into a completely different person thanks to her numerous plastic surgeries. Amy was diagnosed with an incurable condition, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), in 2017 and had a lung transplant in 2022, and any hope of peace in the final years of her life have been dashed due to an ongoing family feud between Katie and her former husband Peter Andre, with their daughter Princess caught in the middle The teenager has captivated the nation with the release of her docu-series The Princess Diaries, but Amy has expressed her concern about Princess having the same management team as her father Peter. In her 2023 book The Last Word, she accused the team of CAN of slanting media coverage in Peter's favour, and said she worries about the cycle being repeated with Princess and her brother Junior. 'My greatest wish for my grandchildren is for them to find their own way in life and I sometimes wonder if they might be better off seeking out new management who can offer a fresh perspective on their careers,' she said. Amy has also made no secret of her feelings towards Peter. In her 2023 book The Last Word, she accused the singer of using Katie for fame, putting on a Mr Nice Guy public persona and having a 'fragile ego'. For her part, Princess has insisted that despite a difficult childhood, she is now 'best friends' with her mother, but there's no doubt that grandmother Amy is the only one whose support for her famous daughter has never wavered. Indeed, it was Amy who supported Katie when she expressed an interest in modelling from the age of 14 and her supportive mother Amy did everything she could to helop her daughter's dream come true. Amy revealed Katie suffered a huge setback as she took her around the modelling agencies in London at the time due to being 'too short'. Despite this, the TV personality found fame three years later at the age of 17 as she began glamour modelling as Jordan on Page 3, even to her mother Amy's horror as she 'hated topless modelling with a passion'. 'When she was 14 we went round the modelling agencies in London but they all said she was too short. So she sent pictures to a glamour agency and at 17 ended up in The Sun. I hated the topless modelling with a passion', she told The Times. Amy previously described Jordan as a 'celebrity second skin, covering up the more vulnerable Kate' as she admitted she 'didn't recognize the mouthy, exhibitionist woman', who was in fact her daughter. In contrast, Amy worked for Margaret Thatcher in the Eighties, Daily Mail previously revealed she was brought in as a temp for the Conservative Party conference in Brighton. Amy revealed Katie suffered a huge step back as she took her around the modelling agencies in London due to being 'too short' Despite this, the TV personality found fame at 17 glamour modelling as Jordan on Page 3; pictured 2003 She was given the role of editing transcripts of MPs' speeches to ensure accuracy before they were released to the press. As part of her role she covered all speeches given from Mrs Thatcher and other MPs. Following finding fame, Katie has been married three times, had a string of 'tosser' boyfriends, spent over £500,000 on cosmetic surgeries and has been to rehab twice, but her mother Amy is determined not to die before the star 'gets her life together'. 'What we didn't understand was why she had all the breast surgeries, because she didn't need them. At 17 a photographer told her she needed to be bigger. I was so angry. 'She thought it was the only way she'd be successful. I've disagreed with every procedure she's ever had'. Amy added. She has also survived bank-ruptcy, multiple divorces, a close shave with prison and attempted suicide on more than one occasion. In 2017, Amy was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and medics told her she had a life expectancy of up to five years. Though her mum has disagreed with all of her surgeries, Amy has been supportive of Katie and her five children, who she welcomed with three different partners, Harvey, 22, with ex Dwight Yorke, Junior, 19, and Princess 17, with ex-husband Peter Andre, and Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10, with ex-husband Kieran Hayler. Katie and Amy's close relationship They might not always see eye to eye on Katie's love life or on her ever changing appearance, but Katie and her mum Amy have always shared a close bond. Amy has previously described herself as an 'ordinary mum, wife and granny' who adores dogs, horses and yoga. She lives close by the sea in a 'cosy little South Coast bungalow' where Katie regular visits to my appropriately named, 'Pop In House'. But in all honesty, Amy's life is a far cry from completely normal because she is the mother of Katie Price - which has admitted 'came with a lot more than I bargained for'. Katie and older brother Daniel are the children of Amy and dad Ray Infield. Their father left the family when Katie was four years old. In 1988 her mother married builder Paul Price, after which she acquired his surname and welcomed half-sister Sophie. Dan mainly keeps out of the spotlight but once appeared on her Mucky Mansion reality show and blamed Katie for his 'grey hair. He said: 'As a family we are always there to support behind the scenes. I can tell Kate straight how it is. Kate doesn't always listen but I'm sure she acknowledges, whether she acts on that information I or we as a family provide. 'The reason for the grey hair is obviously having Kate as a younger sister through the highs and lows of her career and life.' Dan added: 'It's very difficult to be on the sidelines to watch the layers unfold to where she become. As a brother I can only be proud that she was able to turn things around.' Meanwhile her sister Sophie, co-hosts Katie's podcast with her and is a proud mother of two. Katie and her mum Amy have been spotted out and about enjoying shopping trips and pamper days together as well as making joint TV appearances. Amy previously said Katie 'doesn't have many friends' as she tries to be there for her when she can though she doesn't always take her advice making her feel 'powerless'. Her mother has also helped her care for her son Harvey over the years, who was found to be blind, has septo-optic dysplasia, is on the autistic spectrum, gains weight easily, and without regular medication he would die. Since being diagnosed with IPF and told she had years to live, Amy admitted out of her three children Katie took it the hardest. Katie's 'toxic' boyfriends and husbands Amy previously spoke about her famous daughter's life in her book The Last Word and she didn't hold back when sharing her opinion when it came to Katie's ex-husbands. Amy branded Katie's first husband Peter as 'controlling', while also giving scathing comments about second husband Alex, third husband Kieran and on/off fiancé Carl. She claimed singer Peter used his relationship with Katie for his 'own gain', before 'quitting' while he was ahead. While Kieran and Carl 'craved fame' and used her daughter as a 'springboard' for their 'social media feeds'. Katie fell madly in love with Pete, 52, after meeting on I'm A Celebrity in 2004 and the pair got married in 2006. They went on to have two children; son Junior, 20, and Princess, 18, before they split in 2009. Amy has claimed 'one-hit wonder' Peter, who found fame with his hit single Mysterious Girl in the 90's, 'saw an opportunity' by coupling up with her daughter as his 'career was in decline'. She wrote in her book: 'From the word go, something didn't feel right about Peter; I had an inkling that he wasn't who he claimed to be.' Elsewhere her mother revealed that before Katie left to be helicoptered into the jungle, she told her, 'whatever you do, do not end up with him'. Amy slammed Peter's career and added: 'His career was in decline and I think he saw an opportunity in my daughter, an opportunity he was quick to seize.' By the time Kate emerged from I'm a Celebrity in early December 2004, she had fallen hook, line and sinker for Peter. She explained how the model was 'hypnotized' by him and believes her love was genuine while Pete's 'felt more business-like'. Amy also claimed that while I'm A Celebrity was airing she had 'an unusual' lunch meeting with Peter's agent who suggested they also manage Katie if the two got together. Following their split, Peter went on to have three children with his current wife Dr Emily. Admitting she was on the 'rebound' Katie started dating cage fighter Alex Reid, 50, a mere eight weeks after her split from Pete. Following a whirlwind romance the pair wed in Las Vegas in January 2010 but the marriage fell apart less than a year later. Two years later Katie fell for Argentinian model Leandro, 39, after meeting him at Elton John's Oscars party in LA. Revealing she bedded him on the first night, the pair went on to get engaged before they split in 2012. Later that year, Katie met part-time stripper and plasterer Kieran, who is nine years her junior. The pair exchanged vows a mere five weeks later with Katie already pregnant with the couple's first son Jett. However, in 2017 the pair announced they were going to divorce, three years after she found out about Kieran's affairs with her friends Jane Poutney and Chrissy Thomas. In July 2019, Katie announced she was engaged again to personal trainer Kris Boyson, 36, after a year of dating. The reality star - who was still legally married to third husband Kieran at the time- made the shock announcement during an appearance on Loose Women. Their engagement was short-lived however as the couple split in November of that year, with Katie admitting to Kris that she cheated on him. The reality star went on to find love with Carl Woods, 36, in July 2020 and they became engaged the following year. Katie is now in a relationship with MAFS UK star JJ Slater, 32, who she found love with in 2024. Amy has previously begged Katie to 'settle' down and 'get her life together' before she dies. Speaking on Loose Women in 2017, she said: 'I'm not going to peg off until she's settled. I think its about time you got yourself together properly and took life more seriously and be settled.' Amy's terminal illness Amy was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in 2017 and had a lung transplant in 2022. Katie has since given an update this year explaining that her mum has some good days and she has some bad days as she is 'switched on but cannot do things like she used to'. In March this year, Katie gave an update on her mum's ongoing challenges on The Katie Price Show. She said: 'I do feel for you mum, because people have to understand what my mum's gone through, like her brain is just so active and still switched on. She can't do the things that she used to do, which is frustrating for her. 'Now here's an example, because I am a patient person but when my mother teases me and says let's go look at the shops in Isle of Wight, shall I take my walker or wheelchair and I'm like 'no we're taking your wheelchair because I'm not taking an hour'.' Amy responded: 'It's not doing me any good because I'm meant to walk to help myself.' Following revealing Amy's illness, Katie vowed to quit vaping to live a healthier lifestyle as it's 'no good for you' and found it 'disrespectful' towards her mother. She said: 'I've been vaping for a year, and it's no good for you - especially when my mum has had a lung transplant. It's disrespectful doing this in front of my mum. 'I've decided that today is the day I am throwing this battery, chemical, addictive, horrible thing away. I am now doing vapes no more from today. 'I've got the strength to get rid of them. Join me. It's going in the bin, that's it. I've cleared all of my vapes out of the car and everything.' Amy's life was put at risk when she was on the way to receive her organ transplant at the hospital as climate activists blocked the road. Katie explained that Amy only had two weeks to live at the time and 'nearly died' because you only have three hours to get to hospital for a transplant. While she was being rushed to the hospital, the road was blocked by Just Stop Oil, who had staged a protest on the M25. Amy - who had suffered from chronic lung condition idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis - had just weeks left to live until she found a donor for a lung. Speaking on the Private Parts podcast, she said: 'Mum had two weeks left to live at the time. She found a donor. She was waiting five years for a lung. 'It was the day all the oil protesters were on the M25 and you have three hours to get to hospital otherwise you can't have the donor [organ]. 'So they had to get an ambulance. When they were on the motorway, they didn't realise!' However, Katie went on to add that a heroic ambulance driver went on to save the day by cutting through to make sure she got to the hospital on time. She said: 'They had to go up the hard shoulder, and get an ambulance to get through it, because if you're not there you lose it [the lung].' Amy previously hailed the medical staff who carried out her operation as 'amazing' and also paid tribute to the regular faces she saw on every hospital appointment because they meant Katie could feel 'less worried' about her when she was unable to be by her side. Amy and granddaughter Princess Katie's daughter Princess is currently trying to create her own image away from her famous parents after dropping new ITV reality show, The Princess Diaries. Growing rumours of a 'rift' between Katie and Princess have been growing in recent weeks after Katie didn't appear at Princess' 18th birthday party. Reports then claimed the former glamour model was allegedly 'banned' from appearing on the nepo baby's fly-on-the-wall television series. Katie later claimed that it was her daughter's management who had told her not to appear on the show. Yet amid the swirling rumours about a family rift, Katie has called on Peter to sit down with her and 'squash their beef' for the sake of their family. Speaking on the latest on the latest episode of her Katie Price Show podcast, Katie - who is currently recovering from more facial surgery - shared: 'There's no reason why both parents just can't be there to support her.' She continued: 'Now this isn't about me. I have to clarify this. I don't care that I'm not in Princess's show. 'I don't need to raise my profile by being on Princess's show, I do enough stuff. 'All what I want to do, is just whatever my daughter does, and it's the same with Junior, I don't care if I'm in the background, but I want to watch her do her photo shoots, I wanna watch her do her signings, because that's what I did. 'And my mom and you and Nan used to come along and support, and I'm proud of her. And I just wanna be there with her because I now I feel that I've missed out on so much.' Katie went on: 'It's so not fair to bring Princess piggy in the middle. 'So I think it's about time all of us adults just sit down and talk about what their beef is with me and just get over it. 'Life would be more at peace because I don't have a problem. I just think life would be a better place. 'Well, I'm not saying we all have to be best buddies, best friends, but come on. For the sake of the children, there's room for everyone to support your kids. Do you know what I mean? 'I'm not saying I have to stand with them and play happy families.' MailOnline has contacted Peter's representatives comment. It is well known that Katie and Peter don't get on, but the ex model previously thanked her mother Amy for sticking up for her after her daughter Princess was burned as a three-year-old. The incident progressed quickly as soon police were involved after the toddler burned her back on a hot towel rail during a holiday to Switzerland. Amy accused Peter of over-reacting to the incident, insisting it was a minor injury, she told the Daily Mirror at the time: 'I don't understand why Pete is having a go at Kate. 'Her sister Sophie and I were the ones with Princess when it happened and I know it was a fluke accident - and just how minor it is.' She added: 'Princess went straight back to playing. She slept soundly without pain and a week later there was barely a mark on her.' After her mother leaped to her defence, Katie wrote on her Twitter page: 'Love my mum.' Following the incident, police were tipped off and visited Katie at home, but Peter insisted he wasn't the one who contacted them. In a statement on her website, Katie accused Peter of making the incident public to 'score points' and 'portray her as a bad mother.' His publicist Claire Powell said Peter only learned of the investigation when contacted by the police.

Secrets of the A-list from the editor who saw it all: Truth about the curse of Hello! and what really goes on at Hollywood weddings
From splashing millions on exclusive interviews with A-listers to scoring the inside scoop on Hollywood weddings, as editor-in-chief of Hello! Magazine, Rosie Nixon was given access to the celebrity world like no other. From 2008 to 2023, Rosie, who lives in Surrey, spent her 15-year tenure chronicling the lives of the A-list elite - a role shrouded in the utmost of secrecy. During her time in the role, unconstrained by the bounds of a typical 9 to 5, Rosie found herself with unparalleled access into 'countless' weddings of A-listers, from the likes of Robbie Williams to Peaches Geldof and Jack Osbourne. She also enjoyed the odd brush with royalty, attending Sam Branson and Isabella Calthorpe's wedding in 2013 - which, significantly, also boasted Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie on the guest list. Through it all, it was paramount not to let slip what was happening to the outside world - lest rival newspapers catch wind of the Hello! exclusives, or security concerns if the general public found out. Now, writing for The Sunday Times, Rosie has, for the first time, spilled just a few of the A-list secrets she gathered throughout her career - as well as the truth about the so-called 'curse of Hello!', a term coined by the Daily Mail. As she recalled the eve of Robbie Williams' wedding to Ayda Field in 2010, Rosie revealed just how under wraps the wedding was, writing: 'Even the close family and friends being flown in from around the globe have no idea the couple are about to tie the knot.' Revealing just a small insight into the occasion, she recalled how Robbie recreated the moment he proposed with a pack of playing cards, how a huge balloon arch was brought in for the couple - all while their eight dogs prepared to act as bridesmaids. And if that wasn't enough, Rosie was then forced to consider ordering a no-fly zone above the property after rival press outlets were heard arriving via helicopter. Rosie joined Hello! Magazine in 2008 - and had 'never before' experienced such access to the high society world and its connections. In the Sunday Times piece, she writes: 'I had never before paid celebrities for exclusives and was shocked when one former Hello! editor told me, 'It's like Monopoly money here." 'Deals could regularly reach six figures for a period of time when we were selling hundreds of thousands of copies per week... Some celebrities may brag they received an eye-watering sum to their friends, but I know the truth.' Rosie also discussed the famed 'curse of Hello!' - referring to the theory that celebrity couples who have the magazine covering their wedding were more likely to split. The shortest marriage was reality TV star Kim Kardashian, who divorced basketball player Kris Humphries after 72 days. Other ill-fated cover stars include Westlife's Brian McFadden and Kerry Katona, as well as Boyzone's Ronan Keating and wife Yvonne. Telling the truth about the 'curse' once and for all, Rosie shared that such a theory has never been backed up by data - or the fact that, unlike most, all these couples deal with the pressure of being in the public eye. Just one of the lavish ceremonies covered by Hello! included Peaches Geldof's wedding to musician Thomas Cohen in September 2012 at her father Sir Bob Geldof's estate in Kent. With the likes of Jools Holland performing, Rosie found it 'hard to believe' that Peaches chose to join the Hello! team to look through the wedding pages of the upcoming spread on her wedding night itself. Tragically, 19 months later, Peaches was found dead from a heroin overdose at the age of 25. Rosie found herself in another surreal situation just one month later on Jack Osbourne's wedding day in October that year. Again trying to dodge the world's paparazzi, Rosie said she ended up ferrying the entire Osbourne family around on a golf buggy at the Hawaii hotel complex. At one point, Rosie even found herself being yelled at by Ozzy Osbourne after they accidentally stood by the wrong side of the hotel - and found themselves next to the rubbish heap. When news of Ozzy's death was announced in July, Rosie's tribute was one that spoke of their personal relationship. She wrote on her Instagram account: 'I'll never forget the few days I spent in the bosom of the Osbourne family back in 2012. We were in Hawaii for Jack Osbourne's wedding to Lisa Stelly, I was in my former role as editor. 'Ozzy's humour kept us all highly entertained - most of it unpublishable, of course - that's a story for another day. And I'll never forget Sharon's kindness. 'Ozzy had zero of the demands that typically accompany rock stars. He made me feel like part of the family. I'm sending love to Sharon, Aimee, Jack, Kelly and all of his family at this time. 'Rest in Rock'n'Roll - a legend of our times.' Life at the helm of Hello! was clearly not for the faint-hearted - as Rosie immediately followed up the exclusive coverage of Robbie's wedding with a red-eye flight and preparation of a 35-page spread, selling 500,000 copies. Rosie shared a personal tribute to Ozzy following his death last month Much of the time was spent in financial negotiations with rival magazines - including the battle for coverage of Wayne and Coleen Rooney's 2008 wedding, where they lost out to OK! Magazine. Other coverage included the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011, followed by that of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in 2018. In 2022, Rosie was at the WellChild Awards in London when news broke at 6.30pm that Queen Elizabeth II had died. What followed was a whole night of work, leading to a 116-page issue of the magazine. Rosie, who recently celebrated turning 50, lives in Surrey with her husband Callum and their two sons. She now hosts retreats to 'reinvent midlife' and is editor of The Column magazine at the Corinthia Hotel in London. Last year, Rosie wrote about her experience with perimenopause in a piece for the Telegraph, revealing how she managed her symptoms even without HRT. After experiencing symptoms such as bouts of insomnia, hot flushes, overwhelming feelings of anxiety and brain fog, it was Gabby Logan who was first to point out she could be perimenopausal. 'At the time, I was the editor-in-chief of Hello! magazine, a position I had held for many years,' Rosie wrote. 'I had even spearheaded the Menopause Workplace Pledge campaign with the charity Wellbeing of Women, to see women suffering with menopause symptoms better supported by employers. 'I hugged Gabby, and had a private cry – another thing happening regularly – because I finally felt validated.' Even today, having stepped down from her role at Hello! last year after experiencing burnout, Rosie remains close to some of the celebrities she once covered during her time at the magazine. In recent months, she's attended events alongside the likes of Spencer Matthews, Dame Joan Collins and Dame Kelly Holmes. Following her time at the magazine, Rosie has released her new novel Bad Influencer - inspired by the time she spent brushing shoulders with celebrities. Speaking about her time at Hello! on her Instagram account, Rosie called it 'one of the most fun and fabulous chapters of my working life'. She added: 'And I'll always look back fondly on the experiences I had and the treasured friendships made. 'I decided to reflect on this time to publicise my new novel Bad Influence which is set in the celebrity influencer world and although all fictional (honest!) I realised I'd lived the research.' Rosie Nixon's new novel, Bad Influence, is out now.
