What is the Celebrity Masterchef format change?
The judges have revealed the one difference viewers will see due to Covid-19, and they're pretty happy about it.
During filming this February in the middle of lockdown, John was no longer allowed to share a dish with Gregg while tasting the celebs' grub, which delighted them both, reports The Mirror.
"No more plate-sharing was just brilliant," Gregg said.
"MasterChef is now as mainstream as the shipping forecast on Radio 4, but all I care about is having my own plate of food."
