Max George's girlfriend Maisie Smith has been 'impressed' with his cooking ahead of his Celebrity MasterChef debut
The 34-year-old singer has told how the former 'EastEnders' star has been enjoying his kitchen skills ahead of his first episode in the 18th series of the BBC One show next week, but he was "pretty nervous" before entering the kitchen after only "nailing" one of his practice desserts on one occasion.
He said: "I’ve been practising making a main and a few different desserts. I’ve only nailed it once, so I’m pretty nervous.
"My girlfriend has tasted my dishes and
she’s been quite impressed ..."
Max also found it "nerve-wracking" as soon as he clapped eyes on judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace.
Asked how it felt to walk into the kitchen for the first time, he said: "Quite nerve-wracking. I think when you see John and Gregg it feels like you’re going on 'X Factor' or something.
"It feels like all eyes are on you when you walk in, especially the first time. It was only that first 10 minutes that were scary. Once I got into it, it was so much fun."
Max will take part in the second week of Heats next week, but series 18 will start on Wednesday (02.08.23).
Former 'Love Island' star Dani Dyer, actor James Buckley, comedian and actor Marcus Brigstocke, TV personality Mica Ven and TV and Radio personality Richie Anderson will cook first this week.
Their first challenge will be Under The Cloche, when they each have a different ingredient and must cook up a plate of food showcasing that ingredient.
'Celebrity MasterChef' returns to BBC One and iPlayer from 2 August at 9pm.
