I remember when Rylan was Bake off he was pissed off because he had managed to finish in the time given but everyone else was in such a mess they gave them an extra half an hour or so to produce something showable.Slightly sideways.. but was watching a repeat of Celebrity Bake Off: stand up to cancer and Jesy (formerly of Little Mix) was making a absolutely pigs ear of her pasty to the point that (on camera) Prue stepped in to help her. Wonder if this ever happens on Masterchef ? I can imagine Monica would but not John Torode or Marcus.
I reckon they must do that on Masterchef too especially with the celebrities. How many time do you see them say 'you have 30 seconds left' and a contestant still has stuff in the fryer. The next thing it's beautifully presented on a plate.
