MasterChef Australia contestant reveals why she's GLAD to have been kicked off show in latest elimination
Contestants are normally devastated to be kicked off MasterChef Australia. But during Sunday night's elimination on the Back To Win season, Samira El Khafir revealed she was happy to go home. The chef made eggplant chicken kofta but her dry meat let her down and led to her being sent home. After the news was broken that she was heading home, Samira found a silver lining. 'Thank you. No, this is good. It's my husband's birthday today' she quipped to laughter from her co-stars. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'This will honestly make his night, knowing I'm back to cook for him' she added. Samira went on to say that coming back to the show was a wonderful experience for her. 'Don't quit at anything. And you know, the world is massive. So there's just so much we can do. I loved every moment of it' she said of what she learned. 'I am feeling so happy and so blessed that I actually had this opportunity to come back' she added. 'I appreciate everything. I am super proud of myself. To be a mum of four and to pause work life to come join MasterChef again for the second time. 'It was so beautiful. I'm super proud of how far I've come.' Last week, fan favourite Darrsh Clarke made his heartbreaking farewell after his dessert failed to impress the judges. Darrsh, who won a reputation on the show as the 'dessert king' served up a sweet Choux Tower, which features a Orange Blossom Crème Pâtissière and a Pistachio Praline. Unfortunately for Darrsh he went wrong with using too many eggs, and he ended up burning the Choux pastry. 'Meeting all of these amazing people, it's been very inspiring to be around, and I think just having that energy to be around you really motivates you and I'm really excited for what's next,' he said before making his sad exit from the kitchen. First appearing on the cooking competition in 2024, when he placed sixth, the self-taught foodie appeared determined to follow his dream. 'I'm definitely going to use this experience to change my life going forward,' he continued. The Sunday prior saw Tim Bone sent home when his underdone duck failed to wow the judges in the butter challenge. A pressure test called for the chefs to create a dish that 'celebrated butter' in 75 minutes. 'My heart definitely sank,' the Ballarat chef told Ten after he departed the cooking competition. 'I think I bit off more than I could chew trying to get a beautiful fall-off-the-bone confit duck in 75 minutes, but that's the world we live in, it's a pressure-cooker of an environment, and you never know when your time is up' he continued.

Love Island SPOILER: Bombshell dates rip couples apart as the girls secretly watch what their men REALLY think
The three new bombshells have certainly ruffled a few feathers as their dates with the boys looks set to rip couples apart. In Sunday nights episode, Meg and Helena are set to go head to head with Dejon and Harry after watching their true intensions on the TV screen. For the first time in worldwide Love Island history, the girls watched exactly what the boys get up to as it happens - and the lads had no idea. After the boys and new bombshells Emily, Malisha and Yasmin returned to the villa, Meg and Helena had some stern words for their men. Meg pulls Dejon over for a chat and insists 'You failed the test... I'm not here to play games', after he got close with Malisha. But Dejon feels some of Meg's jealous comments aren't warranted and is later seen laughing at the mini Firepit with new love-interest Malisha. Meg quips: 'I don't think I've ever seen D laugh so much'. Meg's behaviour sparks Dejon to tall the boys: 'If she [Meg] is still coming at me with the same energy then it's done…' When Dejon and Malisha continue their chats upstairs in the Hideaway, Meg follows hoping to steal him for a chat and could be seen earwigging their conversation. As the night goes on, Helena has some choice words for Harry about what he said during the boys chat. After watching Harry crack on with the bombshells, Helena tells Harry: 'I dunno where we go from here…I don't know how we can move forward…' As day dawned in the villa, Harry got a text, saying: 'Boys, clear your schedules and get ready to leave the villa! #brotime #beersandbants.' The lads were ecstatic, excited for the boys' night ahead - but the evening was not without fun for the girls either. Walking into the garden, they were stunned to see a massive screen, allowing them to hear exactly what their partners were saying about them. But Dejon feels some of Meg's jealous comments aren't warranted and is later seen laughing at the mini Firepit with new love-interest Malisha Meg's behaviour sparks Dejon to tall the boys: 'If she [Meg] is still coming at me with the same energy then it's done…' After watching Harry crack on with the bombshells, Helena tells Harry: 'I dunno where we go from here…I don't know how we can move forward…' As they gradually worked out the nature of the set-up, seeing and hearing the boys talking on the enormous screen, an astonished Meg said: 'F*** off!' Alima added: 'We'll get to see how they act!' What's worse is the lads' hangout was soon interrupted by three brand new bombshell girls - Emily, Malisha and Yasmin. Megan shouted, 'There's three of them!', as Harry, on-screen, asked the newbies: 'Are you coming back with us?' Malisha replied: 'Of course I am!' The new ladies wasted no time getting to know the boys, with Yasmin saying: 'Tell us what your situation is in the villa at the moment.' With the lads blissfully ignorant of the fact they were being watched, they did not hold back with their answers. Malisha, 24, a teaching assistant from Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, has a very clear idea of the kind of guy she is looking for: 'A tall, dark, handsome man. 'He has to be very tall. I'm 5ft7/5ft8. I want to be able to wear heels and feel feminine. He has to be funny, but not too funny; I have to be the funniest. 'I want someone that's caring and a bit loving, but then I like someone that can give me a bit of rude banter. I like to be a bit cheeky. 'I like nice teeth. Someone who's calm, but not too nonchalant. Someone that's really loving and is all about me. 'They need to know what they want. I like a determined man who is like, "I want you and I'm coming for you".' The bombshell is determined to find love in the villa: 'If I want it, I'm going to get it. I always get what I want. I'm an only child, so of course I'm going to get what I want.' Commercial banking executive Yasmin, 24, from London, does not have quite so many requirements, sharing: 'I'm looking for a guy who is fit, has a nice body and who is funny with a bit of banter.' Meanwhile, she is immediately put off by any man who is 'stingy'. Yasmin has many self-professed strengths to offer: 'Flirting. I'd definitely say it's all in the eyes.' And, more unusually: 'I can make a really realistic cat sound...' Emily, 24, an insurance development executive from Aberdare, Wales, has a clear vision for her time on the Island: 'Someone with emotional intelligence for one. 'Someone who is really confident but not cocky. They can hold a room, communicate… oh, and biceps!' She is ultimately looking for a real sweetheart, adding: 'I want someone who is just really genuine and kind. I know that sounds so naff, but it's hard to find these days. 'I'd also like a man who genuinely cares about my wellbeing and my feelings and wants to look after me.' Love Island continues Sunday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX. First Aftersun episode follows.

If they're close and I really fancy them, I'll give them my number anyway. NAME: Ben Holbrough AGE: 23 FROM: Gloucester OCCUPATION: Private Hire Taxi driver WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
