Celebrity Masterchef: Penny Lancaster's food is deemed INEDIBLE
Share this @internewscast.com

Penny Lancaster was left red-faced during her Celebrity Masterchef debut on Tuesday when one of her dishes was deemed inedible by judges. 

The model and Loose Women star, aged 50, joined Melanie Sykes, Nabil Abdulrashid, and Megan McKenna, where she undertook the challenge of preparing her inaugural dish: fried calamari with homemade tartare sauce.

Though Penny believed she was on the right track, show veterans John Torode and Gregg Wallace pointed out her mistake of using whole eggs instead of just yolks, resulting in an unusable condiment that resembled a ‘raw egg/oil milkshake’.

Penny initially exuded confidence, commenting to the camera, ‘I’m surprisingly doing well compared to how I expected. I don’t want to make any mistakes now.’ However, her assurance was soon shaken by the tartare sauce mishap.

When she served , Penny said: ‘That tartare sauce doesn’t look like the tartare sauce I’d normally have’, as Gregg said: ‘You used whole eggs instead of egg yolks’. 

Delivering the true blow of the situation, John stated: ‘What I’ve got in here is a raw egg/oil milkshake. Unfortunately, I can’t eat that.’

It wasn’t all hopeless for Penny, as the judges complimented her calamari and she exclaimed, ‘well, I got half of it okay!’

Ew: While Penny seemed to think she was doing well, show stalwart John Torode and Gregg Wallace informed her that she had used whole eggs rather than yolks - leading to her inedible condiment coming out as a 'raw egg/oil milkshake'

All was not lost however, as Penny then wowed the judging panel with her next rounds which sent her flying into the semi-finals.  

She conjured up a pan-fried turbot with buttered spinach and hollandaise, leaving  guest chef Mitch Tonks ‘gobsmacked’ and branding the dish ‘fabulous’. 

He said: ‘The fish is cooked perfectly, it’s wonderfully seasoned, the flavour of the hollandaise is good, I haven’t got a fault with it, it’s really good’.

Gregg then exclaimed: ‘Where did you come from!?’, while John branded the dish ‘absolutely perfect’.

She then made a chicken and coconut curry, green papaya chutney, grated apple, turnip and carrot salad and coconut rice – inspired by the Seychelles.

Gregg continued the praise saying: ‘I found myself going from bowl to bowl to bowl and finding it difficult to stop, you have had what we call in the industry and very good day.’

He then branded her ‘a stand out cook’ and sent her to the finals, while  Britain’s Got Talent star, Nabil, was sent home. 

A great day: Gregg continued the praise saying: 'I found myself going from bowl to bowl to bowl and finding it difficult to stop, you have had what we call in the industry and very good day'
