Kimberley Wyatt and Rylan Clark are through to the semi-finals of Celebrity Masterchef after triumphing in Friday night’s show.

The twosome, who had earlier paired up for part of the BBC One programme, were sent through to the next round at the expense of Craig Gazey and Andy Akinwolere.

Here’s the best quotes of the show from the contestants, judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace and the guest judges, former Celebrity Masterchef contestants Ade Edmondson, Sophie Thompson and Les Dennis.

1. “Do you actually know how to make a mousse?” Andy asked challenge partner Craig. “Not really,” said Craig nervously and only *after* putting chocolate mousse on their menu during a mass cooking challenge.

2. “It was instantly forgettable.” Gregg Wallace on eating the Eton Mess-esque dessert made by Rylan and Kimberley during the same hospital challenge.

3. “That takes the prize for the worst ever dessert on Celebrity Masterchef.” Gregg on trying Andy and Craig’s car crash of a pud – overly sweetened cream, meringue nicked from the other team and strawberries dipped in chocolate (their mousse had well and truly failed).

4. “If we consider what he has to get done it’s a *huge* amount of work.” John predicting Craig’s ambitious two-course final cook-off menu might not go to plan.

5. “I do like the sound of Kimberley’s menu. *That* is sending a text straight through to my belly.” Gregg, it could only be Gregg.

6. “I’m a plantain virgin!” Guest judge Sophie on seeing Andy’s main course.

7. “You do love a pie, son,” Gregg to Craig after he made and served yet another pie.

8. “The beetroot mash is very pink, it’s not a colour you expect to see on your plate. I think if you ate it with your eye closed you’d enjoy it more. Pink potato is just wrong.” Guest judge Ade on Craig’s unusually coloured plate.

9. “Either he really has made a green, pink and red dish or you and I have just had an acid tab.” Gregg to John on that same colourful meal.

10. “I’m worried it looks a bit bland,” said Rylan dishing up a steak. “What do you want? Sparklers on it?” asked Gregg. “Well I’d probably go there,” said the honest Rylan.

11. “Pink mash potato? Who does pink mash potato?” Gregg still unable to move on from Craig’s odd-looking dish during the final discussions.

12. “Kimberley what have we done? You put blackberry on a fish!”, Rylan after learning him and Kimberley were semi-finalists, despite some of their earlier mistakes/creations.
