After Life star Joe lost his place in the final cook off as he attempted to make a beef wellington alongside Dr Ranj.

Despite coming on leaps and bounds in the competition, he was sent packing and said: "I've had a lovely time, thanks for having me.”

For the final challenge Josie and Dr Ranj had to make their signature dish.

Josie made a roast dinner, which she dedicated to her nan, while Dr Ranj made a plate of Indian party food.

The TV doctor and Strictly star couldn’t believe it when he was announced as the winner and screamed with joy.
