Angellica Bell: "I feel sorry for the prune..."

Checkout Confessions

Available for over a year

Celebrity MasterChef champion and One Show presenter Angellica Bell talks us through the packet desserts that made her feel like a proper chef aged six, why she'll defend the humble prune to anyone watching her at the checkout, and the reason she'll never use a self-service till! Angellica brings Matt a basket of nostalgia and heritage - Tunnock's tea cakes, orange Clubs and plantain crisps - and reveals how she learnt how to cook in her Saint Lucian grandmother's kitchen, where she taught her to gut fish and fry plantain before she'd turned seven. There's a confession about cutting corners with bread sauce, a scandalised reaction to Matt's supermarket snacking habit, and the cello grade three she took the week before her MasterChef final.
