CELEBRITY Masterchef's AJ Pritchard has revealed an outrageous Christmas dinner tradition ahead of his return for a festive special.
The former Strictly pro dancer previously competed on Celebrity Masterchef in 2018, but was sent home after his apple crumble failed to impress judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace.
However, AJ is heading back to the kitchen for the show's Festive Extravaganza.
Speaking ahead of his return, he said: "It feels absolutely amazing to be back in the MasterChef kitchen, especially at Christmas time in the festive spirit.
"There were definitely a lot of nerves going back.
"There's always a bit more anticipation, especially with the invention test because you can’t really prepare, you just have to think on your feet and go with the flow."

AJ also opened up about his own Christmas food traditions, some of which were unconventional to say the least.
He said: "My top tip for making a Christmas dinner has to be the roastiest roast potatoes.
"I like everything overcooked, a bit burnt, but not the turkey obviously. Can’t have a burnt turkey."
AJ continued: "The best traditional Christmas food has to be pigs in blankets and roasties that’s for sure. The worst: Brussel sprouts, we all know."
