MasterChef viewers have lashed out at the BBC show after Craig Doye made an epic blunder but still secured a place in the final[/caption]
Craig, Rochenda and Vito will face off in Friday night’s finale[/caption]
But it comes after Craig used salt instead of sugar when making his lemon tart[/caption]
Fans were left fuming after last night’s (Thursday 19) “disgraceful” episode which saw Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey axed from Celebrity MasterChef instead of Craig, 53, despite his monumental blunder.
Battling it out for a place in the final three, Craig, Rochenda, Vito and Harry were tasked by judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace with creating a dish inspired by someone special, before then progressing to Chef’s Table to cook under the guidance of legendary chef Adam Smith.
In honour of his mum, Harry, 36, baked an apple and plum oat crumble with vanilla custard.
Meanwhile, Craig produced what looked to be a perfect lemon tart, which he completed with four meringues to represent each of his children.
However, Craig’s tart did not live up to its presentation as he made a terrible error in the kitchen, as he mistook the salt for the sugar turning his sweet treat into a savoury mess.
Craig thought there was no coming back from his blunder, admitting he “made peace with going home” and had booked an afternoon of golf.
However, in a shocking twist of events, judges John, 59, and Gregg, 59, decided to eliminate Harry from Celebrity MasterChef.
It turned out Craig had only salted the filling of his tart, so the crust was still perfectly baked. While John called out the presenter for his silly blunder, the judges were impressed with the sweet half of the tart.
And in a shock twist, it seems Harry’s crumble wasn’t up to scratch, leading to him being eliminated from the cooking competition.
Reacting to John and Gregg’s decision on X, formerly Twitter, one viewer fumed: “What are you talking about? He put salt on the lemon tart!”
“I’m sorry…. but that’s a bloody disgrace – so you can make a MASSIVE mistake and put salt over your food and not sugar, but still get through. I feel so sorry for Harry – he should’ve gone through. I’m disgusted with this appalling decision,” another raged.
While a third pointed out: “At this stage of the MasterChef competition, if you do such a silly thing as put salt on your dessert, that should’ve been an elimination. Harry’s desserts were a bit mismatched but there was nothing wrong with them. He should’ve stayed.”
“How can you put salt on a desert instead of sugar and not be eliminated from a cooking competition??” a fourth agreed.
Harry took his defeat gracefully, hugging his fellow competitor Craig before departing.
Gregg Wallace's career to date
Gregg Wallace has been a familiar face on TV for years now thanks to his role as a judge on MasterChef - but let's take a closer look at his career so far...
In 1989, he started George Allan’s Greengrocers, a company that grew to a turnover of £7.5 million.
Gregg’s experience in the world of fruit and veg lead to him co-hosting Veg Talk on BBC Radio 4 with Charlie Hicks for seven years.
He then became the first host of Saturday Kitchen in 2002, a role he held for a year before being replaced by Antony Worrall Thompson in 2003.
At the same time, Gregg presented a number of food-related TV specials, including Veg Out for the Discovery Channel.
Gregg landed his most notable TV role as a co-presenter and judge on BBC’s competitive cooking show MasterChef in 2005. He stars alongside John Torode.
In 2010 Gregg pursued another life-long dream of opening a restaurant. He opened the establishment Wallace & Co. in Putney.
Then, in 2012, he opened Gregg’s Bar & Grill in a joint venture with the Bermondsey Square Hotel.
Gregg then scored a hosting gig with the BBC, presenting the documentary Supermarket Secrets in August 2013.
Unfortunately, times were tough for Gregg, and in the same month, it was reported that one of his companies, West Veg Limited, had folded, owing more than £500,000.
In 2014, both of his restaurants folded, with Wallace & Co owing suppliers £150,000.
However, his TV career continued to thrive, and in 2015 became the regularly host of the award-winning documentary food series Eat Well for Less? Gregg helmed the show for eight years before stepping away.
Gregg then made Telly history again when he revived the BBC’s historical game show Time Commanders.
More recently, the celebrity chef has presented a number of travel programmes such as Big Weekends with Gregg Wallace, South Africa with Gregg Wallace, and the food mockumentary, Gregg Wallace: The British Miracle Meat.
Now the celebs have been whittled down to the final three. Craig, Rochenda and Vito will face off for one final challenge where the winner takes all tonight at 9pm.

THE mystery of an “alien song” heard coming from the deepest point on Earth has finally been revealed.
The Mariana Trench is one of the most mysterious places on Earth, measuring over 36,000ft deep.
The Mariana Trench is the deepest known point on Earth’s surface[/caption]
The trench measures over 36,000ft deep[/caption]
The trench sits at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and is so hard to reach only a select few have ever been able to venture down there.
Bizarre noises emerging from the trench were first recorded a decade ago and fears of alien life sprung up as a response.
They lasted between 2.5 and 3.5 seconds and were dubbed “Biotwangs”.
They were deep moans at extremely low frequencies like 38 hertz and a had a sharp finish that pushed as high as a whopping 8,000 hertz – but their source remained unknown for years.
In 2016, experts believed it could be a mating call from a Baleen whale, but no one was ever certain due to the randomness of the noises.
Sharon Nieukirk, a marine bioacoustics expert at Oregon State said: “If it’s a mating call, why are we getting it year round? That’s a mystery.”
The sound is “very distinct, with all these crazy parts” she added.
Now, after reanalysing the sounds, experts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) believe they finally have an answer.
Instead of the noise being produced by Baleen whales, a new study suggests that Bryde’s whales could be responsible.
These kind of creatures can be found around warm, temperate oceans worldwide like the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific.
The researchers saw 10 of the whales swimming in the area and consequently recorded nine making the distinctive noises.
But to prove the Bryde’s were the source of the alien-like clamour, experts used artificial intelligence.
In the study published in Frontiers in Marine Science, the team said: “It was assumed to be produced by a baleen whale, but without visual verification it was impossible to assign a species.
“Using a combination of visual and acoustic survey data collected in the Mariana Archipelago, we determined that Biotwangs are produced by Bryde’s whales.
“We used a combination of manual and machine learning annotation methods to detect Biotwangs in our extensive historical passive acoustic monitoring datasets collected across the central and western North Pacific.
“We identified a consistent seasonal presence of Biotwangs in the Mariana Archipelago and to the east at Wake Island, with occasional occurrence as far away as the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and near the equator (Howland Island).”
While it remains unconfirmed why the whales do this, expert Dr Allen told Popular Science that the creatures could be using the Biotwang as a contact call.
The expert called it “a sort of “Marco Polo” of the ocean” but said they’d “need more information” before confirming.

AN ANCIENT board game believed to be the oldest in the world has striking similarities to a popular modern favourite.
Dubbed Hounds & Jackals, this millennia-old pastime has long been believed to have originated in Egypt.
The game of Hounds & Jackals is very similar to a modern favourite[/caption]
Players are given pieces resembling modern-day dogs and foxes[/caption]
A 58 holes board found by archaeologists in Azerbaijan[/caption]
About 60 examples of the game have been discovered in Egypt, Mesopotamia, Israel, Syria, Iran, and Azerbaijan, and it has been known to modern academics since 1890.
Hounds & Jackals shares several core similarities to the modern Indian game 58 Holes, as both are part of the broader family of race games.
In both games, the primary objective is to move a set number of pieces (pegs) from a starting point to the goal by following a path of holes.
The first player to successfully move all of their pieces to the finish wins, making both games focused on a race to the end.
The number of holes and the movement of pieces in both games are also very similar.
Hounds & Jackals typically has 29 holes per player, amounting to 58 holes in total, which mirrors the explicit number of holes in the modern 58 Holes game.
Players in both games navigate their pieces through these spaces, advancing toward the goal as they move along the board.
In Hounds & Jackals, players use dice, knucklebones, or another randomizing tool to determine how far they move their pieces.
Meanwhile in 58 Holes, players also roll cowrie shells or dice to decide how many spaces their piece advances.
The board is supported by animal-shaped legs, probably those of a bull[/caption]
The games combine luck with strategy, as players must adapt their movements based on the random outcomes.
Both games feature special spaces that affect gameplay.
In Hounds & Jackals, certain holes on the board are marked as special, offering bonuses or protection from capture.
Likewise, in 58 Holes, there are safe zones where pieces cannot be captured by the opponent, adding a strategic layer to each move.
Both also allow for the possibility of capturing an opponent’s piece.
It comes as a version of Hounds & Jackals discovered in present-day Azerbaijan could indicate that the game originated in Asia instead of ancient Egypt.
The earliest version of the game ever found dates to the period between 2064 and 19552 BCE, during the reign of Mentuhotep II.
But archaeologist Walter Crist found a gaming board near Gobustan, Azerbaijan, in 2018, that could date back to even earlier.
He studied numerous rock shelters, the best of which was at the Çapmalı rock shelter at the Western shore of the Caspian Sea, engraved with dot patterns that closely mirrored game boards found in southwestern Asia and Egypt.
Crist and Rahman Abdullayev, his co-author, came to the conclusion that the carving was connected to the Middle Age Bronze layer present at the location.
This suggests that the game was played long before it was discovered in Egypt, the pair wrote in their study published by Cambridge University Press.
Sites in Ağdaşdüzü, Yeni Türkan, and Dübęndi have yielded six more discoveries of Hounds and Jackals game boards.
The game appears to have been a frequent diversion for shepherds who took refuge in the area during the winter, based on pottery shards found at the sites.
The authors said that it can be challenging to determine accurate dates during this time.
They wrote: “Clearly, further early evidence for the game from precisely dated contexts is required to credit a specific culture for inventing the game.”
Crist and Abdullayev went on to say that regardless of where the game originated, “it was quickly adopted by a wide variety of people….
“The fast spread of this game attests to the ability of games to act as social lubricants, facilitating interactions across social boundaries.”
What are the rules of Hounds & Jackals?
HOUNDS & Jackals is an ancient board game believed to have originated in Egypt.
It is a race game where two players compete to move their pieces (pegs) from a starting point to a goal.
Historians and archaeologists have reconstructed possible basic rules based on similar ancient games and the design of the board.
The goal of Hounds & Jackals is for each player to move their five pegs from the start to the finish (marked by holes) on their side of the board, avoiding obstacles and using strategy to outmanoeuvre the opponent.
Believed to be a two-player game, each has five pieces (pegs), which are often shaped like hounds (dogs) and jackals (foxes).
The players each control a set of pieces of one shape (e.g., one player controls all hounds, the other all jackals).
Players take turns rolling dice, sticks, or another ancient form of random number generation (like throwing knucklebones).
Each turn, a player moves one of their pieces forward along the track by the number indicated by the roll.
Certain holes on the board may be marked with symbols (such as palm trees or circles) that act as safe zones, giving the player a bonus, or causing some kind of setback, like forcing the piece back or skipping a turn.
A player’s piece landing in a special hole might also allow another bonus move or protection from being captured.
The first player to get all their pieces from the starting hole to the goal wins the game.

MARK Robinson, the lieutenant governor of North Carolina and top Donald Trump ally, has reportedly described himself as a ‘black Nazi’.
Here we get to know the under-fire Republican’s wife — Yolanda Hill Robinson.
Both Yolanda Hill Robinson and her husband Mark Robinson have been at the centre of their own scandals in 2024[/caption]
Who is Mark Robinson’s wife Yolanda?
Yolanda Hill Robinson is the wife of Mark Robinson, the current Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina and Republican gubernatorial candidate in the November 5, 2024 election.
Before entering public life, she earned both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in accounting from the University of North Carolina, Greensborough.
In August 2024, the couple addressed a personal abortion experience.
In 1989, before their marriage, Robinson paid for his future wife to have an abortion.
This revelation came to light in the context of Robinson’s strong anti-abortion stance as a politician.
In 2024, the Robinson campaign also released an ad featuring the couple discussing this personal experience.
Hill Robinson has been a prominent figure in her own right, particularly due to her involvement with a controversial nonprofit organization.
The Robinson family has faced numerous financial challenges over the years:
They filed for bankruptcy three times — in 1998, 1999, and 2003
The family lost a home to foreclosure and a previous daycare business
In 2012, the Robinsons were evicted from a rental home for failing to pay $2,000 in rent
Mark Robinson had issues with unpaid vehicle taxes and federal income taxes
What does Yolanda Hill Robinson do for a living?
Hill Robinson is a trained accountant and former non-profit executive, but what she is doing for work right now hasn’t been reported.
Hill Robinson was previously the chief officer of a charity called Balanced Nutrition Inc.
This organization assisted daycare centres to secure federal funding in order to feed low-income children through the Child and Adult Food Care Program.
Balanced Nutrition Inc. has been the subject of significant scrutiny and regulatory action.
In April 2024, Hill Robinson announced the closure of the nonprofit, citing her husband’s busy schedule as the reason.
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) conducted a compliance review of Balanced Nutrition Inc., revealing several issues.
The nonprofit was ordered to repay over $132,000 for what regulators deemed unauthorized expenditures.
Mark Robinson and Yolanda Robinson Hill seen here in a still from the campaign ad titled ‘Unscripted’[/caption]
Regulators identified “serious deficiencies” including inadequate documentation and failure to submit legitimate claims.
The organization failed to disclose and obtain approval for Hill Robinson’s daughter’s employment.
Balanced Nutrition Inc’s operations raised questions about potential conflicts of interest and financial management.
Since 2017, the charity has received approximately $7million in government funding, with substantial salaries paid to Hill, Robinson, and other family members.
When did Yolanda and Mark Robinson get married?
The couple has been married since 1990 and they have two children together.
Their first child, daughter Kimberly, was born in 1990.
The pair’s second — a boy whose name is yet to be reported — was born in 1992.
Daughter Kimberly worked for her mother’s controversial nonprofit Balanced Nutrition Inc.

ANTHONY JOSHUA was once floored in sparring by a 6ft 9in giant in sparring, his former training partner claimed.
Joshua has been forced to deny being dropped but conceded he was at least stunned by a left hook.
Anthony Fowler – a 2016 Olympian who trained alongside the both – spoke out to say he was there and saw AJ’s legs turn to jelly.
Fowler – who has since retired – further claimed that Kazakh Ivan Dychko also had Joshua in a world of trouble in sparring.
He told talkSPORT: “I remember Ivan Dychko dropped Joshua. And David Price knocked Joshua down really heavily, he really hurt Joshua.
“That Kazakh lad dropped him once, but it was more of a flash knockdown. And Dubois hurt him as well.
“So I’ve seen him hurt three times but it is heavyweight boxing so it doesn’t matter who you are, if you get hit flush on the chin you could go over.”
Joshua vs Dubois fight predictions
THIS weekend Wembley will witness one of the biggest all-British fights of all-time.
But who will emerge victorious under the famous arch? Some of the biggest names in boxing have been having their say…
Oleksandr Usyk: “My favourite is Anthony Joshua but I am very bad at predictions. But I will predict Anthony Joshua.”
Dillian Whyte: “I just think that it’s one of those fights where it is a genuine 50/50 fight in my opinion.”
Joe Joyce: “I was initially edging with Joshua but I don’t know, Dubois is coming on.”
Frazer Clarke: “As heavy-handed as Dubois is and as good a fighter as he’s becoming, I still have to go for Joshua.”
Francis Ngannou: “Even though Joshua lost against Usyk twice and Dubois fought Usyk and almost knocked him down and almost won, I would still give this to Joshua.”

THE future of smash-hit motoring show World’s Most Dangerous Roads has been laid out.
Famous faces joining the line-up for series six have now been unveiled.
Johnny Vegas is appearing in the new series of World’s Most Dangerous Roads[/caption]
He will be joined by Lucy Beaumont as they drive through Montenegro[/caption]
The show has aired for five seasons to date – with previous participants including Rhod Gilbert and Angela Barnes[/caption]
Its format sees two celebrities filmed as they tackle journeys down roads considered notably hazardous.
The journey taken by the Taskmaster alums sees them driving through Montenegro.
Johnny shared: “I can’t believe I’ve such fond memories of being so b****y terrified at times.
“I can only put it down to Lucy Beaumont‘s inexhaustible quirky humour under pressure and Montenegro’s stunning variation of landscapes.
“Both tears of fear and laughter made it an unforgettable adventure of a lifetime.”
Meanwhile, Lucy added: “I still can’t believe I made in one piece; I must admit I didn’t want to be on a dangerous road with Johnny driving, but I didn’t want to leave either.
“What started out as a white-knuckle ride turned out to be a spiritual experience which cemented that me and Johnny will be lifelong friends.”
Another confirmed duo is I’m a Celeb alum Babatunde Aléshé and fellow comedian Kae Kurd – who travelled to Zambia.
Reflecting on his experience, Babatunde shared: “I absolutely loved taking part in World’s Most Dangerous Roads.
“As someone of African heritage, this journey meant so much to me, especially to experience it with my good friend Kae.”
As Kae remarked: “One of the best experiences of my life. Challenging, fun and eye opening, and with a great companion too.”
In addition, Rhod Gilbert – who has appeared in previous episodes – will be narrating a compilation of memorable show moments so far.
This is titled World’s Most Dangerous Roads: Rhod Gilbert’s Extra Mile.
Initially beginning in 2011, World’s Most Dangerous Roads aired for three series on BBC Two, up to 2013.
Comedians including Hugh Dennis, Sue Perkins, Ed Byrne and David Baddiel all took on dangerous journeys in the original run.
Dave later revived the format and aired the show from series four onwards.
World’s Most Dangerous Roads returns to U&Dave in November.
