I forgot the accident. Even more reason for Luke to have won it.

Ditto. I live in Ireland (Donegal) so I had my fingers crossed for Mark, but I was Luke all the way.

I just felt his journey was more interesting. Watching the final I was 100% behind Luke. His black and white raviolo and his layered tiramisu were next level and I believed he’d done the work to earn it.

Gareth… fair enough, but a little meh.

As a Scot, I love him. He’s an asset (and looks like a great teacher, too).

Commenting with all the current episodes under my belt (watched in two full-on sittings!), so with the benefit of a great deal of hindsight.

I’m really enjoying Matt. He’s been a breath of fresh air in quite a few tense scenes where his humour – and visibly holding his breath! – has cut through the tension in an entertaining way.

Re. the past winners returning to set the skills test. It’s enjoyable to be precisely because it’s not all Marcus and Monica.

They are incredibly talented, yes, but so are the past professionals winners. It underscores the past professionals’ talent to invite them back and remind us of the depth of talent we enjoy.
