blunder

Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton had a kitchen disaster during the latest episode of Celebrity MasterChef.

Michelle Heaton admitted she was “absolutely gutted” after completely burning her dish on Celebrity MasterChef.

The Liberty X star is amongst the celebrities battling it out on the latest series of the BBC show, alongside Love Island’s Chris Hughes, writer Dawn O’Porter, soul icon Jaki Graham and actor Jamie Lomas.

She was creating a halloumi burger with sweet chilli jam and sweet potato fries when disaster struck. The singer left her sweet potatoes in the oven too long and discovered they had burnt to a crisp when she checked on them.

She let out a gasp as she retrieved the charred chips, before burying her face in her hands, reports Wales Online.

“Oh, no!” she cried out. “I actually can’t believe it. Burned my sweet potato fries.”

Dawn had been granted an additional 10 minutes cooking time after triumphing in an earlier taste challenge, and witnessing Michelle’s mishap, she offered to share it with her.

“Can I gift it?” she asked. But judge Grace Dent informed her: “I am sorry, but you can’t.”

Michelle refused to surrender and swiftly prepared some tiny sweet potato cubes to present instead.

She declared that she would simply have to “hope for the best” during judging, confessing: “I am absolutely gutted.”

“You had a bit of a disaster,” judge John Torode observed as she presented her creation.

“I had a massive one,” she acknowledged, though he reassured her: “You picked yourself up and you went and sorted it out. That’s what MasterChef is all about, Michelle. Good on you.”

The singer received some positive feedback for her dish in the end, with John commenting that the halloumi was “cooked really nicely”. However, he felt her brioche bun was “on the edge of too sweet”.

Reflecting on her performance, Michelle said she had been feeling tearful after the mistake.

But she went on: “I am feeling OK considering I had a massive disaster.

“I was about to cry, but I didn’t, because I usually do. And I just ploughed on. And I’m really, really happy that I did, because I learned something about myself.”

Celebrity MasterChef airs on BBC One.

Saturday Kitchen host Matt Tebbutt apologised after accidentally revealing personal details about his guest star on the BBC show

Matt Tebbutt dropped a huge blunder just minutes into today’s Saturday Kitchen (November 22), accidentally revealing where one of his celebrity guests lives.

The TV chef was joined by comedian and actor Tom Allen, famous for his roles on The Apprentice: You’re Fired, Cooking with the Stars and The Great British Bake Off’s Extra Slice.

He popped up on the ITV show to promote his gardening podcast, Pottering With Tom Allen, telling presenter Matt: “I just thought what the world needs is another podcast.”

He went on: “We keep the bird song in, we keep the church bells in, even aeroplanes going over we leave in.”

Matt then chimed in with a cheeky comment about the background noise, which accidentally gave away where the star calls home, reports the Express.

“Please Matt! Don’t tell people where I live,” Tom shot back, before quipping: “It’s true though it’s a very desirable area,” as giggles filled the studio.

The gaffe sparked a hasty “I’m sorry” from presenter Matt, who quickly added: “I didn’t give out the full address.”

Tom then revealed that his neighbourhood was quite compact, meaning even tiny hints were too much information.

“Well it’s not a very big place so if you are in Chislehurst you’ll see me there,” he revealed before throwing a tongue-in-cheek “So thanks for that” Matt’s way.

As the programme progressed, Matt turned to chef Ravinder Bhogal to ask what was next on the agenda. Yet, he couldn’t help but make another quip about his earlier gaffe.

“Right let’s see what else is on the menu today. Ravinder! Tell everyone where you live,” he jested, sparking more laughter from the cast and crew.

THERE was recently an awkward moment a huge popstar had her microphone the wrong way up.

She was even accused of lip-syncing in an embarrassing on-stage blunder, though some fans have defended her.

Canadian hitmaker Tate McRae, 22, was performing at a recent gig when she crooned into her microphone when it was the wrong way up.

Sparking major lip-syncing accusations, Tate has now been slammed for allegedly miming at her concerts.

Sharing a video of Tate “lip-syncing” on stage, an X account wrote: “Tate McRae caught lipsync during her show.

“Many fans are question if she ever sang live since the beginning of her career.”

In the video, Tate could be seen dancing a high octane routine.

Flipping her hair backwards and forwards, the superstar rocked out on stage in some very tiny shorts.

Dancing around, Tate then moved her microphone up to her mouth.

Holding the microphone the wrong way up, Tate crooned into the bottom of the handle of the mic.

Tate quickly realised as her backing track played, and turned the mic so it was the right way up.

Ever the professional, the hitmaker then continued with her performance.

Fans have since reacted to the awkward on-stage blunder.

One person penned: “I don’t listen to Tate McRae but she literally started singing when she flipped the mic around, she’s singing over a track.”

Another said: “When she flips the mic around, you can hear her voice. It’s just that a backing track is there. Not lipsyncing.”

A third person added: “As someone who saw her recently in concert, she lip syncs like 80% of the concert because she’s more focused on dancing and theatrics and doesn’t try to hide it.

“The only time she actually sings is when she’s stationary for small periods but there’s always a backtrack no matter.”

While a fourth wrote: “I went to a show. There IS a lot of backing tracks since she dances so much, but she definitely sings live a ton as well. And you can tell when she does.”

And a fifth said: “That’s called a backing track you can clearly hear her singing.”

Tate is known for her hits such a Greedy, You Broke Me First, Sports Car and Revolving Door.

Helen Flanagan was left humiliated after she struggled to remember the name of a TV legend while appearing on an episode of the celebrity version of The Weakest Link

Former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan’s memory was put to the test while appearing on the celebrity version of The Weakest Link. When asked by host Romesh Ranganathan to name which month shared the surname of a Top Gear host, the former soap star, 35, took an awkwardly long pause while figuring out the answer.

And this left the other contestants, including rapper Konan from Krept and Konan, in utter disbelief. This came after she was shown a picture of James May, who co-hosted the hit motoring show for many years, alongside Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond.

When the image was revealed, Romesh asked the now turned reality TV star: “Look at your screen, this TV presenter shares his surname with which month of the year?”

Taking an awkwardly long pause she then answered the question after a reported 20 seconds. But she gave a correct answer, to which the mum of three yelped “yes”, in response to being told the good news.

Speaking about the show, former Coronation Street actress Julie Hesmondhalgh, who does the voiceover said : “Helen took so long to get the month question that I had enough time to make a cup of tea and go to the shop for biscuits – but she did getit right in the end.”

After receiving the most amount of votes, Helen said: “Wow – that is so bad, I am so shocked. I got the main question right.” And comedian Tim Vine added: “The thing that made me do it was just before a correct answer when you waited for, I think, six minutes. It was quite a long time.”

In an attempt to redeem herself, Helen hit back saying: “But did I get that answer right?” Biting back Tim answered: “Yes, but the clock was going down.” Doing his best to keep the peace, host Romesh chimed in saying: “If it makes you feel any better she seems pretty chilled about it.”

But this is not the first time Helen has appeared on the show as she attempted to excel last year. The mum of three has been off our screens for many years since playing Rosie in the popular ITV soap.

During her previous stint, Romesh asked her: “In geology, the White Cliffs of Dover are principally formed of what substance, chalk or cheese?”

But, assumingly without thinking, she answered “cheese,” which undoubtedly left her fellow contestants bowing their heads. And it also caused a stir on social media.

Away from the spotlight, it looks as though Helen is keen to get her love life back n track. In an interview with the Mirror, she admitted: “I’m open to dating, but I’m just so, so busy with the kids. “

She added: “When you’re 19 you can go out in Manchester and come home with a boyfriend a few days later, but I’m 35 now, I’m not really going to go on a night out am I, really?”
