People weren’t convinced by Celebrity MasterChef’s return when they saw the line-up, which included singer Sinitta.
On Celebrity Come Dine with Me, Sinitta juiced a bunch of green veg and called it soup. 😐 This should go well… #CelebrityMasterchef

And, faced with a Mediterranean theme mystery box to make a meal from for judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode, her cooking skills were a bit worrying from the off.
*Sinitta easily confused by cheese klaxon* #CelebrityMasterchef

You should probably know that Sinitta said her children think she’s an amazing cook. But, as she set off cooking a squid salad (even though she didn’t know what squid was) plus a dish of stuffed aubergines, it started to become apparent that people on Twitter probably weren’t going to be agreeing with them, sadly.
Sinitta what are you doing love?! 🙈🙈🙈#CelebrityMasterchef

Sinita is basically making cat sick in an aubergine shoe #CelebrityMasterchef

How's she gonna put raw mince into raw aubergine with only 15 mins to cook in the oven?! Wow. #CelebrityMasterchef

Omg sinitas food looks vile!!!😱 #CelebrityMasterchef

Yeah, her stuffed aubergines didn’t look great. And, unfortunately for Gregg and John, the lamb mince inside them was raw.

"I don't mind if you don't eat it" …. "I can't eat it". But it looked so delicious! #CelebrityMasterchef pic.twitter.com/XjnmH07Pu4

"Singer, Sinitta enjoys cooking for her children at home…"
How have they survived?? #CelebrityMasterchef— Rachel Hopkin (@Rakishi) June 22, 2016
Then, in the final task, Sinita said she was going to make a spinach burger mousse.
We had no idea what to expect either.
And here’s what we got…

Honestly, things probably couldn’t have gone much worse for Sinitta – the meat in this was raw too. Twitter simply didn’t hold back on what they thought of her cooking.
For just one pound a month you can provide Sinitta's children with warm food that isn't raw in the middle #CelebrityMasterchef

"It's supposed to be cooked!" Er, yes that is the point, Sinitta #CelebrityMasterchef
— Kate Jackson (@katejourno1) June 22, 2016
Bye bye #Sinitta #CelebrityMasterchef twice serving raw meat!!
— natasha m (@nrem511) June 22, 2016
Bye bye Sinitta. Might've helped if you'd not tried to poison the judges with undercooked meat #CelebrityMasterchef
— Sharon (@The_Retro_Rose) June 22, 2016
Who manages to cook beef and serve it raw?!? Beef? #CelebrityMasterchef
— Maryne (@Maryne_fe) June 22, 2016
I'm getting the impression #sinitta may not cook much. Just the merest hint #CelebrityMasterchef
— Louise Robertson (@LouMRobertson) June 22, 2016
But hey, one good thing came out of all of this. We could have watched Sinitta’s bewildered reactions to Gregg and John all night…

Maybe stick to cooking vegetarian dishes in the future Sinitta. Just sayin’.
