MasterChef has crowned its 2022 champion in a nail-biting final tonight (Thursday). Eddie Scott was announced as the winner of the BBC One cooking programme, calling it "the best feeling ever".
Bagging the top honour in the 18th series, the 31-year-old from Beverley in East Yorkshire cooked the best three-course meal of his life. His winning menu wowed the judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace who handed over the coveted trophy.
He said: “It’s everything. My whole life I feel has been building up to this moment. I can’t believe I’m standing here as the MasterChef champion. It’s just been the most stressful and the most enjoyable! I feel like I’ve just discovered who I am as a cook. It’s the best feeling ever.”
