John Torode and Gregg Wallace both shed a tear during the 2023 MasterChef final as they confirmed Chariya Khattiyot had won the series after a tense battle in the kitchen.
Chariya fought off strong competition from Anurag Aggarwal and Omar Foster on Friday to become the 19th amateur cook to claim the coveted title on BBC One’s beloved cooking competition.
Reacting to her win, Chariya said: "This is unbelievable. It means the world, the sun, the moon and everything to me. I don’t think anything can top this. I’m so happy!
