Ade Edmondson has been crowned winner of this year's Celebrity MasterChef.
The comic actor triumphed in last night's (September 6) final, beating comedian Les Dennis and journalist Janet Street-Porter to the title.
Host John Torode described Edmondson's three-course meal as "delicious and absolutely mind-blowing", while Gregg Wallace said that his cooking had "beautiful simplicity".
Wallace added: "What Ade has learnt along the way has just already enhanced the good cook that he was when he walked in here."
Edmondson said that being crowned victor rather than coming second "feels very weird".
The 56-year-old continued: "I didn't realise it was going to be as tough as it has been. I have spent every waking and every sleeping moment thinking about food."
He added: "I'm going off to have some beans on toast."
Edmondson's winning menu included a pan-seared loin of venison starter, with a main of sea bass stuffed with scallop mousse and a twist on strawberry shortcake for dessert.
