CELEBRITY MasterChef fans were left disappointed just minutes into the new series premier.
The BBC cooking competition returned last night with a host of famous faces, including Love Island star Faye Winter and ChuckleVision's Paul Chuckle.
McFly's Danny Jones, comedian Kae Kurd and former Strictly Come Dancing star Nancy Dell'Olio also took to the kitchen for the first episode.
Judges Gregg Wallace and John Torrode tasked the group with cooking Korean street food and dinner party dishes.
But viewers were left underwhelmed by the opening line-up.
One wrote: "Oh it’s #MasterChef and the ‘Celebrity’ version. Who are they? #CelebrityMasterChef"

Another posted: ""Since when does being on one reality show make you a celeb? They really are stretching the definition of celebrity."
A third echoed: "Okay I’m going to need a ‘whose who’ for some of these celebs."
"Celebrity Masterchef!!! Not impressed with this lot so far but we'll see!" @TMcD1986 wrote: "Are they running out of celebrities #MasterChefCelebrity," a fourth said.
Another chimed in: "Who would have thought Paul Chuckle would be the biggest celebrity in the room!"

It comes after Faye survived last night's elimination – despite making cookies some fans said looked like "turds".
The 26-year-old made it through to the first round – but another reality TV star wasn't so lucky.
Nancy, a veteran of shows including Strictly and Celebrity Big Brother, got the boot instead.
When Celebrity Masterchef's John Torode asked what was in her fridge if she needed to cook, she replied bluntly: "Water, champagne and wine."
However, some fans were outraged she had gone, with one saying they would "riot" after she was sent packing.
Others insisted Faye was getting an easy ride from the judges, with one joking: "If Faye put s*** on a plate Gregg would love it."
Another tweeted: "Get the feeling Faye could serve cup a soup and Greg would say it's outstanding."
Indeed, he praised her giant cookie in tonight's show – though not all viewers were as impressed.
Gregg and John crowned McFly star Danny Jones the champion after impressing them with all three dishes.
They then revealed who was going. John announced: "The celebrity leaving us is Nancy."
He added: "Love your heels, love your style, thank you very much, you're leaving us."
