BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty has hit back at critics who claimed that she “ruined” Celebrity MasterChef‘s finale.
Celebrity MasterChef crowned presenter Lisa Snowdon as the winner last night.
However, one fan believed that Naga spoiled the surprise when she teased that Lisa would appear on BBC Breakfast.
Naga Munchetty responded to the viewer live on BBC Breakfast
Taking to Twitter, the viewer wrote: “Thanks a lot @TVNaga01 we won’t ruin the Celebrity Masterchef final result if you haven’t seen it ‘but we will tell you he is one happy man…’!
“Erm I wonder if Lisa Snowdon or Mel Blatt have ever been described as that before…”
Clarifying what she had said, Naga then told viewers: “I did not say man – I said ‘very happy winner’.”
To which another fan tweeted in support: “I can vouch for @TVNaga01 on this one.”
For the last four weeks, 19 celebrity contestants have been cooking to impress judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode.
I can vouch for @TVNaga01 on this one.
However, all that came to an end last night when Lisa was crowned the winner.
After her win, Lisa said: “I’m honestly so blown away. It’s such a life changing experience. I feel like this isn’t real! I just can’t believe it.
“I couldn’t of wanted to win something that meant more to me than this. I can’t wait to tell my mum, my dad and my nephew.”
