Full time dad and public speaker Dean, 41, wowed judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode with his skills in the kitchen.

He made pan roasted venison loin, pancetta black pudding crumble, Marsala wine and blackberry jus, and fondant potatoes.

One wrote: "Dean is played by James Cordon…  #MasterChef."

Another said: "Dean looks like James Cordon #MasterChef."

"James Corden & Howard Donald on #MasterChef this week," a third chimed in.

"I've done seven marathons, I've done a triathlon so I'm hoping to draw on some of that and make it work for me in the Masterchef kitchen."
