Nobody wants to be the first to go home, but that honour went to Nancy Dell'Olio.

The Celebrity Masterchef instantly won over fans with her ridiculously high-heels and quips about preferring to go out for dinner.

The Italian lawyer lost out to Paul Chuckle, comedian Kae Kurd, Love Island star Faye Winter and Danny Jones of McFly.

The first round saw Nancy being given Bramley cooking apples as the ingredient to use.

She created a dessert with custard and peaches, but no pastry.

John Torode called it an ‘interesting creation’ but said it was ‘mushy’.

A South Korean fried chicken dish was next on the menu, with Gregg Wallace giving this verdict: ‘Rather than a Korean fried chicken you’ve done a Nancy fried chicken!’

Asked what she would have in her fridge, Nancy replied: "water, wine and champagne".

She also revealed the meal she most liked to make at home was "a reservation".

Never change, Nancy.

She then made traditional Italian classic, melanzana parmigiana.

It didn't go to plan, with the judges saying it was "watery".

Afterwards, Nancy said she was "a little bit disappointed with myself".

Thanks for the memes though, Nancy.
