In a tense kitchen showdown, Love Island star Uma Jammeh saw her Celebrity MasterChef journey come to an end, becoming the second contestant to be eliminated from the 2025 series.
The Dish That Sealed Her Fate
The competition, which aired on Thursday 20 November 2025, proved challenging for Jammeh from the start. Her initial offering, a tuna tartare, was criticised by the judging panel for its distinct lack of seasoning.
However, it was her main course that ultimately decided her exit. Jammeh prepared a deconstructed lamb kebab, which featured perfectly cooked lamb served with whipped feta and a red cabbage slaw. Despite the quality of the meat, the judges unanimously agreed the dish was missing one vital element: a flatbread.
Ginger Johnson Crowned Cook of the Day
While Jammeh packed her knives, Drag Race winner Ginger Johnson soared, earning the coveted 'Cook of the Day' honours. Johnson impressed the judges with a starter of crab ravioli, followed by a main of herb and mustard-crusted lamb.
Her stellar performance secured her a place in the semi-finals, where she was joined by Coronation Street star Katie McGlynn and pop star Antony Costa.
What Happens Next?
With the competition heating up, the remaining celebrities will continue their culinary battle for the Celebrity MasterChef 2025 title. The elimination of Uma Jammeh narrows the field, raising the stakes for the upcoming semi-final challenges.
