Fans saw 'Fash the Bash' complete an amazing five Bush Tucker trials and fight off seven other contestants, leaving him with Linda Barker and Phil Tufnell on the last day.

On Monday night he had to face one more challenge - his part in earning the three remaining celebrities a slap-up meal.

But it wasn't enough to give him the crown. Game-for-a-laugh Phil Tufnell took the lion's share of the votes.
