+ Gary to win.

I would so like Gary to win. A bloke doing a tough teaching job, probably earning peanuts and leading an ordinary life, yet giving his all. Ellie is terrific, but she has time on her side

What do you mean about Kitty?

Wot, no ants?

meow!

In the unlikely event that I found myself in a position to visit a Michelin star restaurant, I'd want to know if tweezered food was on offer, and decline!

Aaaah this explains a lot about Ellie.

I really hope that seeing Gary doing what he does will let people see how important culinary eduction really is. He teaches potential young chefs the basic skills that they will carry with them for the rest of their careers.

The celebrity/flash-in-the-pan chefs come and go but true talent and hard work will always endure.

I've got the sous vide on

awwww, she comes across much better out of the kitchen

See below


I need to work out how to do that.

Yay I did it.

Where does she cook?

Interesting her Dad has the Wiltshire accent but she doesn't.

We have new smileys!

Make them sing Carols outside to earn their way in!!!

Awwww, Elly's dad is lovely

I hope Gary wins however I suspect he will lose out to Elly imo she is being lined up to Win.

I agree - these bios really do provide some background which helps you to understand the contestants a bit more.

Evening all .Missed it yesterday but hope Gary wins but have a funny feeling about Elly she might do it. Talented she is but a bit young to walk away with this. But age is just a number after all.

I thought your cat had died!

I'd love Gary to win, but Ellie's very accomplished too. How dreadfully sad that her mother walked out. Thank goodness she and her twin have a great father.

Not that you have a favourite, Monica

I'd be happy with either Gary or Elle for the win.

Just don't get tattoo'd Elle!
