Cheryl Hole has hit back at the haters and revelled in her loss on this week’s Celebrity MasterChef, after her ‘disaster in a glass’.
The 29-year-old was up against popstar Jamelia, Go Compare’s Wynne Evans, musician Locksmith and model Sam Fox.
However, her culinary skills failed to impress judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode, with the former describing one of her desserts as a ‘disaster’.
‘Sorry to see you go,’ Gregg told her, as Cheryl joked she ‘won’ and ran out of the room ‘crying’.
‘Just kidding,’ she laughed.
‘In all honesty, I am so blessed to be a part of this year’s MasterChef because it gave me an opportunity to test myself, even if it was just for a day,’ she added.

‘It’s been such a long day, and I’m sweating more than anything.’
She later took to Twitter to joke about her loss, saying: ‘Did someone say All Stars redemption?’
The comment was a nod to her stint on RuPaul’s Drag Race career.
The TV star, whose real name is Luke Underwood-Bleach, starred on the first ever season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, back in 2019.
She made it to week seven of the competition, coming in fourth place and losing out to first place winner The Vivienne.
Cheryl, who’s act is based on the former Girls Aloud singer, then returned to the franchise and went on to compete on the first season of RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK vs the World, last year.

Her Tweet comes after she hit back at the trolls after vile comments.
‘Sitting here chuckling at all these replies of people getting angry for me cooking a bit of food,’ she wrote to the bigots, before immediately being inundated with support.
She later wrote: ‘All I will say is people clearly don’t understand the art form of drag and it’s celebration of women. Women shaped me into the person I am today either through music, their words of wisdom or support. In no way do we mock women at all, so to throw that argument at me is in vain.
‘People can continue to hurl abuse at me, liken my work to “woman face” but at the end of the day. This has all stemmed from me speaking up and using my platform on the hate that is directed to our community. And you’ve proved everyone right.
‘Please enjoy tonight’s episode. Remember it’s a light hearted entertainment cooking show. I’m not doing anything other than using a few pots and pans & an oven. I’ll see you all on the other side.’

Cheryl actually highlighted how increasingly vital it is for LGBTQ+ representation on a show like Celebrity MasterChef, particularly given the stabbing of two gay men outside a nightclub in Clapham this week.
‘I mean we’re in a day and age where I feel like the movement is going a bit backwards, there’s more hate crimes,’ she told BBC.
‘We’ve just had an attack on LGBTQ+ community in Clapham the other day.
‘I don’t understand what’s happening in the world and to have representation for our community, to have voices and stories heard, shows we are nothing to be feared.
‘We’re light, laughter and entertainment. We’re just here for a good time and to make sure everyone is looked after.’
She added: ‘We’re just individuals wanting to live our lives and doing no harm and causing no grievances to anybody, so I don’t understand why people take such an issue to us as a community.’
Celebrity MasterChef is available to watch on BBC iPlayer and continues tomorrow at 8pm on BBC One.
