The contestants in Gordon Ramsay 's new TV show, who are battling it out to win a £150,000 investment from the celebrity chef, start each episode with a terrifying challenge - and it all proves a bit much for one of them on Thursday, April 28. In fact, Leah Harkness cries almost from start of finish of the hour-long BBC show.
For their first challenge. the contestants had to crawl through caves and complete an abseil in Cheddar in Somerset, to find aged cheese. Immediately after being told what the challenge was, Londoner Leah, 38 - who runs her own business, Norah's Brownies, which are dairy and gluten-free brownies - began to well up and said: "Oh no, no, no."
She then swore and while crying said: "I'm crying already." Still in tears, she added: "I can do it but I am going to cry." Crying heavily Leah entered the cave and told Gordon: "This is like my worst nightmare Gordon" while he tried to reassure her.

Still crying heavily Leah said: "It's like all my phobias all in one." as she contined to cry hysterically as she made her way through the caves.
Once out of the caves, much to Leah's relief, she became emotional again when her team lost the challenge of figuring out which was the oldest and most mature cheese. Disagreeing with her teammates at first Leah changed her mind to agree with their choice, only to find out she had been right all along.
Leah began crying again when Gordon told her she had chosen the right cheese and emotionally she said: "I'm very mad. Because I flipping said three...grrrr!"
Finally Leah began crying again at the end of the show when Gordon had announced her team had won the food challenge. Visibly wiping her tears away Leah was overwhelmed to have won the challenge. She also became emotional when Gordon announced who he had fired from the other team.
Gordon Ramsay's Future Food Stars continues on Thursday, April, 28 at 9pm on BBC One.
