GREG Rutherford has been crowned the winner of Celebrity MasterChef 2019 in tonight’s final.
After six weeks of intense challenges, the Olympic gold medallist beat Vicky Pattison and Neil Ruddock with his three course meal of lamb cutlets. Here’s all you need to know…
What was Greg Rutherford’s winning menu?
The final task was to cook and present a three-course meal inspired by their time on Celebrity MasterChef in just two hours.
Greg’s starter was scotch egg on a rosti nest with mayonnaise and asparagus, followed by crusted lamb cutlets with hasselback potatoes, baby carrots, savoy cabbage and garlic, shallot and mushroom puree.
To satisfy the sweet tooth, the Olympian made short crust biscuit topped with dark chocolate cremeux with raspberry jelly with chantilly cream.
Greg beat reality TV star Vicky Pattison and ex footballer Neil Ruddock to the finishing line in tonight’s explosive episode on BBC1.
Greg follows in the footsteps of John Partridge, Angellica Bell, Alexis Conran, Phil Vickery and Nadia Sawalha in becoming this year’s winner.
Thrilled with his achievement, the father-of-two said: “Celebrity MasterChef was an incredible experience I’m so pleased I took part. I used everything I learnt as a sportsperson to dedicate my time and energy into creating the best food I possibly could.
“I’m over the moon that John and Gregg appreciated the effort I made and everybody else that tried my food during this process. This is a massive achievement and I look forward to using the skills that I’ve learnt during this process in the future.”
