It was another tense round during the latest Celebrity MasterChef episode, however, it was the end of the road for Queen MoJo.
The Peckham’s Finest presenter was one of the five stars included in the second week of heats alongside Chris Eubank, Cliff Parisi, Gareth Malone, and Mel Blatt.
Time wasn’t on Queen MoJo’s side in the final challenge, after judge Gregg Wallace tasked the stars to create their favourite dinner party dish.
The TV personality decided to create her special creamy prawn linguine and brioche garlic bread, but as the deadline was fast approaching, the star didn’t have time to prepare her prawns.
This left Gregg admitting: ‘They’re not cooked. That’s what happens when you run out of time.
‘I really like that pasta,’ added co-judge John Torode.


‘Lots and lots of chilli running through it, it’s proper hot. Your garlic brioche would divide the crowd. I love the softness of it, but then with that crust it looks like someone’s put garlic butter on my doughnut.
‘The prawns, they are an issue.’
Struggling to hold back the tears, Queen MoJo said: ‘I feel really emotional.
‘It’s my favourite thing to eat and I was so looking forward to cooking it. That’s a shame, a big shame.’
After the judges came to a decision, they both agreed that it was time for Queen Mojo to leave the competition.
Upon being eliminated, she joked: ‘It was just the prawns, don’t know if I can get prawns again. I’m a vegan now.’
Elsewhere, boxer Chris expressed how much he was ‘enjoying every moment.
While singer Mel hailed it as ‘one of the best days of her life.’
But who will make it through to the quarter-finals?
Celebrity MasterChef continues on Thursday night at 8pm on BBC One.
