Watching Friday's episode of Masterchef was harder than I ever imagined. Steven and I watched it together and were both horrified at how bad we were. That day was one of the most emotional of my life and it was absolutely devastating to see David under such pressure and then for his dream to come to an end. It wasn't a great day for me - I had realised at 8pm the night before that the dish I was planning on cooking couldn't be done in the time and therefore just had to make something up with the ingredients I had requested. I really believed I was going to be the one going home that day.

David is an amazing cook - totally unique - I so admire his determination to bring back good old British classics that really should never have been forgotten in the first place. David and I share a love of baking and I know that we will always be friends. He had amazing support throughout the competition from his lovely wife Helen and daughter Cerys and I really look forward to meeting them one day soon.

David is already following his foodie dreams - I know he will be a great success and I wish him every bit of luck in the world with his new projects xxx
