Mark Watson voted off reality show

Mark Watson has become the second celebrity to be voted off Marco’s Kitchen Burnout.

He made his first and last appearance on the ITV1 reality show on Friday night alongside WAG Elen Rives and TV presenter Ruth Langsford.

They had to cook lunch for jockey Frankie Dettori, followed by a preparing a menu for 25 paying customers.

At the end of the evening, Rives won with 74 points out of 100, earning her an automatic place in the semi-final with Langsford runner-up on 67. Watson trailed with just 38, having struggled to keep up with his orders.

Host Marco Pierre White had to decide whether Watson and Langsford should stay, and ruled in favour of the TV presenter.

Watson said: ‘I felt a bit gutted at the decision, but realistically the other two were much better than me, so it is the right result.’

He added that he was proud that he ‘didn't let myself down’.
