What was her most memorable moment?
One of the most entertaining contestants in Celebrity MasterChef history, Janet consistently lost her rag with Gregg Wallace.
When Gregg mentioned her presentation in one round, Janet hit back: “I can’t see what’s wrong with the way I’ve served it.
“You’re trying to make me serve it like I’m working in a restaurant and I categorically can’t do that. I’m serving it like you would at home.”
And later, while cooking in a pro kitchen, Gregg tried to be nice to her. Big mistake.
“Oh my god, Gregg’s being nice to me, I don’t know how to handle that.”
Christopher Biggins
Christopher, 72, is a well-known face on TV thanks to a career that has spanned almost 50 years.

Her overall journey.
After the final, she said: “Through learning to cook and learning to love something else, I sort of learnt to love myself a bit again. I consider that a win, trophy or not…
