Celebrity MasterChef viewers accuses Faye Winter of FAKING cooking skills

CELEBRITY MasterChef viewers have called out Faye Winter for “faking” her cooking skills after tonight’s episode.

The Love Island star, 26, was tasked with cooking celeriac with Dover sole and shrimp and brown butter sauce.

Ahead of the first challenge, Faye said: “It’s literally like someone dropping you into different kitchens and saying ‘you’ve got to cook that’ – it’s not going to get any easier.”

The reality star was devastated to be tasked with cooking a fish dish and admitted she’d never filleted a fish before.

“The boiling, chopping I’m okay with – it’s those lovely fish that are worrying me,” Faye said.

TV chef Mary Berry joined judges John Torode and Grey Wallace in the kitchen and explained that she needed to take the fillets off the fish, which would require a certain skill.

Mary asked Faye: “Have you ever skinned a Dover sole?”

The former estate agent replied: “No, I’ve never done it before and I’m a bit nervous, I’ve just left them over there for the moment chilling near the water.”

But Faye pulled it out the bag and managed to serve up an impressive dish.

“I can taste and see the things you like, and I can taste and see the things you don’t,” John told Faye upon tasting it.

Mary praised her and said: “I think you should be really proud of it as she wasn’t in your comfort zone.”

While Gregg complimented Faye’s dish on its flavours and said she had “nailed it”.

But fans weren’t buying it and insisted that Faye was playing down her cooking skills.

One wrote: “Faye #CelebrityMasterChef once again pretending she’s got no cooking skills and experience (almost certainly filleted a fish before).

Another said: “I think Faye is a better cook than she’s saying. #CelebrityMasterChef”

A third added: “Is Faye faking her cooking on Celebrity MasterChef?”

Faye was chuffed with her dishes tonight and told the cameras: “I feel ecstatic, I’m so so happy.

“I tried so hard with the fish, I’m just glad that they could see that.”

But unfortunately, the Love Island star was given the boot and missed out on a place in the final.

Former footie pro Jimmy Bullard, McFly’s Danny Jones, model and presenter Lisa Snowden, Drag Race star Kitty Scott-Claus, Singer Mel Blatt and actor Cliff Parisi made it through to the next round as the battle continues.
