My mum’s passing to winning
@MasterChefUK was exactly one year to the day. I definitely had an angel on my shoulder for that final cook! The whole experience was healing for me. Cooking the food from my past has helped me to live in the present.. what a gift.
Thanks for that, El.
Whilst I’m not a fan of sob stories on competitive reality shows and I really wanted Martin to win, you’d need to have a swinging brick for a heart to not appreciate how devastated Jon was by his mother’s death and how winning Masterchef has given him a much needed lift.
