Celebrity MasterChef fans horrified as Baga Chipz admits to bizarre food habit

Celebrity MasterChef returned this evening, with a whole new host of famous faces hoping to bring flare and flavour to the kitchen.

Among the fresh-faced hoepfuls in Drag Race UK star Baga Chipz, who this evening took on the likes of Olympian Sam Quek and presenter Dom Littlewood.

And while her food impressed judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode, she admitted to one habit that left some fans gagging.

Baga whipped up sticky honey prawns with noodles and peppers, with Gregg and John commending her flavour conmbinations.

As she cooked and the prawns sizzled, she added another grind of fresh black pepper.

"I have pepper on my cereal."

Fans took to Twitter over Baga's admission.

Her other opinions also rang true with viewers.

"Baga Chipz certainly speaks the truth," a fan penned. "Chips are fantastic indeed."

Meanwhile, Baga's previously told she was forced to tone down her sexual innuendos over fears for her career.

She told The Daily Star : "It's BBC One and I didn't want to upset anyone.

"I've got lots of telly lined up and I didn't want to f**k it up and be crass and say things like, 'Get your knobs out, lads.'"

*Celebrity MasterChef is back tonight (Thursday July 9) on BBC One at 7:30pm
