MasterChef viewers were furious on Tuesday night when Channel 5 revealed the celebrity special winner before the episode aired. 

This year’s first festive instalment of the competitive cookery show saw stand-up comedian Judi Love crowned champion, taking home a coveted Christmas golden whisk.

Yet for the unfortunate fans who tuned in to Channel 5 News before switching to BBC1 at 8pm, the cat was already out of the bag.

Another used a slew of angry emojis to vent their anger, penning: ‘@5_news why have you just told us who wins Celebrity Masterchef when the programme hasn’t been aired yet?’

A third used sarcasm and tweeted: ‘thanks for revealing who won the celebrity masterchef BEFORE IT HAS EVEN AIRED!!! #someonesintrouble’.

During the festive episode, Judi said being crowned the Celebrity MasterChef festive champion for 2021 ‘made her Christmas.’

Judi, who was the fifth celebrity to be eliminated from Strictly this year, won BBC One’s first Celebrity MasterChef Christmas Cook-Off, with a Caribbean-themed Christmas dinner.

The 41-year-old served a rolled turkey breast stuffed with jerk seasoning, served with parsnip puree, carrots, stuffing, roast potatoes, crispy turkey skin and a cranberry and scotch bonnet chilli jam, which judge Gregg Wallace described as ‘nothing short of fantastic.’

After the two hour and 15 minute challenge, the actress also presented a Jamaican Christmas black cake with a sorrel sauce and a stout and rum punch ice-cream, with judge John Torode saying: ‘I love it.’
