Ginger Johnson Wins Celebrity MasterChef 2025 With 1970s-Themed Finale

The judges praised the Drag Race UK alum as they named her the show’s 20th celebrity champion.

Overview

  • Johnson triumphed over finalists Alun Wyn Jones and Dawn O’Porter after a three-hour cook-off to create a three-course menu.
  • Her winning dinner-party menu featured a Bloody Mary prawn cocktail, a duck leg pie inspired by Duck à l'Orange, and a Flaming Baked Alaska.
  • Judges Grace Dent and John Torode lauded her inventive cooking and declared her the champion following sustained praise throughout the series.
  • Grace Dent judged this season following Gregg Wallace’s departure after a misconduct investigation, and multiple reports say Anna Haugh will replace John Torode in future programming.
  • Johnson said she was shocked by the result, plans to recreate her show’s Christmas dinner for her partner, and does not intend to cook in drag off the show.
