Former Atomic Kitten Liz McClarnon has been crowned Celebrity MasterChef 2008.
McClarnon, who could not cook before the competition, was transformed into a "fantastic cook", according to judges.
The title for the BBC1 competition was awarded by chef and restaurateur John Torode and food writer and ingredients expert Gregg Wallace.
McClarnon said: "I can't believe it. I'm so proud, all that hard work has finally paid off.
"I'm so glad I won. It was such a tough journey for someone who couldn't cook.
"The only down side is that I had to cook my own birthday meal because I was the best cook in the house."
The programme saw McClarnon compete in a first round heat, quarter-final and intense final week of rounds when she saw off competition from presenter Andi Peters and actor Mark Moraghan.
Wallace said: "Liz is by the far the best natural cook that I've seen in a long, long time.
"She has really shown a triumph of spirit and has shown what can be done if you link natural talent to real want.
"Liz was not a great cook when she started MasterChef but she was by the end of it - she is a fantastic cook."
