Celebrity MasterChef final 2023:  Wynne Evans beats Luca Bish and Amy Walsh crowned the CHAMPION after impressing the judges with his adventurous menu

Wynne Evans has been crowned the 2023 Celebrity MasterChef winner.

The opera singer and broadcaster, 51, beat fellow finalists Luca Bish and Amy Walsh after impressing judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace with his adventurous menu. 

The final trio were tasked with cooking a faultless three-course meal in two hours for for the judges in a last ditch effort to be named the 18th Celebrity MasterChef champion.

And Wynne proved he had what it took to come out on top after rustling up a fantastic feast featuring a Japanese-inspired tuna tartare and cannon of lamb. 

Reacting to his win, Wynne said: ‘This is a brilliant feeling. The kids will love this, they’ll be like ‘Dad! I can’t believe you did it when all you cook for us is beans on toast!’ The experience has totally changed my life. It has just been beautiful and I can’t thank Gregg and John and everybody here at MasterChef enough.

‘When you start to believe in yourself, that’s when good things start to happen. I don’t know how a MasterChef winner celebrates but I know how a bloke from Carmarthen celebrates!”

Gregg Wallace said: ‘Wynne gives us theatre. I have never seen a celebrity like him ever before and I’m not sure we ever will again.’

While John Torode added: ‘Every single dish tells a story. His food, it’s exciting, it’s ambitious, and it’s got a little bit of artistic flare. He’s a proud Welshman with a big heart.’
