The trio were tasked with cooking a faultless two-course meal that will not only be judged by John, 58, and Gregg Wallace, 58, but also by previous Celebrity MasterChef champions.

Longtime judge John has been married to actress and presenter Lisa Faulkner since 2019 , who previously won the show in 2010.

Lisa, Phil Vickery and Kadeena Cox were the previous winners chosen by producers to act as judges.

The pair first entered into a relationship in 2015 but they later tied the knot in an Oxfordshire ceremony.

She previously won Celebrity Masterchef back in 2010, and has carved out a career as a television chef since then.

Together, the duo have hosted seven series John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen on ITV.

Even though she has hosted a variety of other cooking shows, viewers had a complaint with her appearance on the long-running series.

During her introduction she speculated: "By the quarter-final you need to be showing that little bit of extra flair, that something magic."

However, viewers were not happy as they claimed Lisa only made an appearance due to her marriage with John.

Fans of the celebrity cooking programme took to social media in their droves to express their annoyance as Lisa made her seemingly annual appearance.

One fan fumed: "Every year without fail Lisa Faulkner is on #celebritymasterchef just because she is with John Torode. Give someone else a go FFS."

A second exclaimed: "Someone needs to tell Lisa Faulkner that just because she married a chef it doesn’t make her one or an expert #celebritymasterchef."

"Lisa Faulkner is John Torode’s wife….", tweeted a third alongside a GIF that also sarcastically read 'I'm Just Sayin'.

And a fourth added: "Oh no quarter final #swingdoor #celebritymasterchef."
