'MasterChef' duo plan royal wedding meal

MasterChef judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode have revealed what they would cook for Prince William and Kate Middleton's guests if they were in charge of the royal wedding meal.

The duo described their plans while speaking to Absolute Radio's Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show this morning ahead of the MasterChef grand final tonight.

Wallace said: "Well, we're in London - we'd have a great big tray of sea food - whelks, cockles, crabsticks - to start.

"Then they'd be tucking into some proper spring lamb, followed by rhubarb crumble and custard. A true celebration of British cockney food. Then they'd have a right old knees-up."

Torode added: "I would go for something similar to Greg. I reckon oysters to start, then some pie and mash with liquor, then lots of strawberries, lots of rhubarb - even a bit of crushed meringue to finish. We call that Eton mess."

Of tonight's final, Torode said: "It's been a privilege and an honour to watch three great finalists. I've got to say, though, anybody who made it through to the auditions - the 20 people who actually lined up for that first day - congratulations to them.

"Our three finalists are superb, but to make it into the last twenty of MasterChef is a great achievement. Good on you guys."

The MasterChef final airs tonight at 9pm on BBC One.
