But with Brin, 29, and Chris, 44, impressed with their expert cooking, it was Louise, also 44, or Abi, 22, who would miss out on a place in the final three.
Judge John announced that it was Abi who would be leaving the competition, angering viewers who had been prepared to see her win.
On X, formerly Twitter, they wrote: ‘Fallen at the last hurdle. Really thought it was hers to take,’;
‘This woman should be in the final’; ‘Stripped for Abi – you’re a winner in my eyes!!’;
Abbie left indignantly. Brin to win’; ‘I really like Brin and Chris, but Abi is incredible for her age’;
‘Abi can be proud of how far she has come. To be only in my early twenties and make it to the finals week of #Masterchefuk is an amazing achievement. I think she will be a great chef in the future.”
Brim and Chris appeared to have impressed the judges and earned a place in the final, leaving Abi and Louise in danger.
Announcing Abi’s departure, John said: ‘Abi and Louise, one of you is going through to the final, one of you is leaving us.
‘The participant leaving us… is Abi. Abi than you, it’s been an incredible journey for you.’
“I would love to see what happens next for you because you are an amazing talent for someone so young,” Gregg said. ‘Well done.’
On missing out on a place in the final, Abi said: “Obviously it takes a bit of guts to go home at this stage, so close, but the whole competition has been a challenge from start to finish.
