The BBC competition show sees celebrities battle it out in the kitchen to impress Britain’s top culinary experts.

But viewers took to Twitter in their droves as they claimed they didn’t recognise the contestants on Thursday’s edition of Celebrity Masterchef.

The episode featured DJ Clara Amfo’s elimination from the show after she presented a disappointing jambalaya, along with a disastrous peaches and crushed biscuits dessert.

Not impressed: Viewers took to Twitter in numbers, claiming they didn’t recognize the contestants on Thursday’s edition of Celebrity Masterchef (pictured L-R: AJ Pritchard, Stella Parton, Jay Blades, Clara Amfo, and Lisa Maxwell).

The latest group included Strictly pro AJ Pritchard, 23, BBC DJ Clara Amfo, 34, a Strictly professional dancer, BBC Radio 1 DJ Clara Amfo, former EastEnders star Lisa Maxwell, 54, furniture designer Jay Blades, 48, and Dolly Parton’s younger sister Stella Parton, 68.

 Fans were unimpressed with the line-up, with one tweeting: ‘#celebritymasterchef Obviously not enough celebrities to go round all these celebrity programs.’

In agreement, another slammed: ‘Just switched on #CelebrityMasterchef but I can’t tell who the celebrities are…… not a good start? #zlist #wannabe anyone else got a clue? @BBCOne.’

Booted off: The episode saw DJ Clara Amfo be eliminated from the show after serving a disappointing jambalaya, paired with a disastrous peaches and crushed biscuits dish for dessert.

 A third added: ‘Has the #bbc run out of celebrities ? .. I don’t know over half of the #Strictlycomedancing contestants and just now on #MasterChef … I only knew one person … and even then, only very slightly. Com’on #Beeb – real celebrities or don’t bother ! #bbcpov.’

‘So I genuinely don’t think I know any of the #CelebrityMasterchef contestants. Not one. #officiallyold’, they continued. 

‘They’re really scraping the barrel for celebs on ‘Celebrity’ Masterchef. 90% of them wouldn’t so much as raise an eyebrow on the ordinary one #whoevenisthat #CelebrityMasterchef.’ 

‘Z-list’: Fans were unimpressed with the line-up, with one tweeting: ‘#celebritymasterchef Obviously not enough celebrities to go round all these celebrity programs’

Despite the comments, the contestants boast successful careers within the industry, with BBC Radio 1’s Clara frequently interviewing music’s hottest celebrities on the network’s mid-morning show.

Professional dancer AJ rose to fame during his stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2016, which saw the Stoke-on-Trent native finish in fourth place with gymnast Claudia Fragapane.

Lisa was catapulted into the spotlight as Detective Inspector Samantha Nixon in the The Bill between 2002 and 2009, and has since appeared on EastEnders and Hollyoaks.
