“When you get the phone call, Dom and they say, ‘Do you want to be on MasterChef?’ Do you practise like a nutcase for a few weeks before you start?”
Dom answered: “I was under the assumption that people could cook before they went on and I said to them, ‘You’re ringing the wrong person.’
“The way I cook it’s from freezer to stomach within 30 minutes and anything else, sauces and things are always bought.
“They said, ‘We’d actually like to watch you and see how you progress,’ then you work out what you think you might be able to cook and you do practise like a madman.”
