Joey Essex was having a hard time noticing the difference between a gigantic leg of lamb and a whole de-feathered chicken on tonight’s episode of Celebrity Masterchef.
The beginning of the episode had the celebrities cook a hearty meal for coastguards but our lovely Joey struggled to keep up.
Joey, along with Dillian and Neil were put into the red team with Jenny Ryan as the team leader.
Jenny initially didn’t know what her team would be cooking, but was given endless lamb shoulder, dover sole and vegetables which included legs of lamb.
Looking at the lamb, the former Towie star said: ‘What are these? Are these chickens?’
‘Do they look like chickens to you? When have you ever seen a chicken that big?,’ Dillian said.
Yikes.
A few moments later, the personality was still struggling with formerly living animals and fish.
The team were making grilled dover sole for the staff and volunteers at the coastguard but Joey couldn’t get himself to handle the fish.
Speaking to Jenny, Joey said: ‘I’m not the man for fish, just putting it out there. Me and fish don’t get on.’
We bet you’re alright with fish fingers, Joey.
Fans took to Twitter to question Joey’s culinary skills, with one saying: ‘Joey thinks a leg of lamb is a dead chicken without it’s feathers #celebritymasterchef.’
‘Barely 5 minutes in and already Joey is cracking us up #noitisntachicken #CelebrityMasterChef,’ another said.
Meanwhile, the blue time – which consists of Vicky, Dom, Greg and Kellie – seemed to be smooth sailing with their cooking.
