Abdullah Afzal and Jaymi Hensley have missed out on places in the Celebrity MasterChef semi-final.
Union J singer Jaymi, who rose to fame in a four-piece boy band on The X Factor in 2012, and comedian Abdullah Afzal who is best known for his role in Citizen Khan, both failed to impress the judges.
After being cut from the BBC show, Abdullah said: "I think I’ve learnt too much. More than I can handle. You know I’m 27, maybe in 10-years time I’ll be a very good cook, you never know."
Jaymi also expressed his delight for getting so far in the competition, "I’m completely proud of myself, I thought I would’ve been a disaster from the start."
Both men took to social media to thank fans and viewers for their support:
Believe me, it's a miracle I got that far 😂 thanks though https://t.co/Ah39W1iJz3
