Celebrity MasterChef fans have been left “mind-blown” after noticing a hidden detail in the show’s iconic logo. The popular cooking competition series has captivated audiences once again with its latest season on BBC, showcasing celebrities battling it out in the kitchen to claim the title. However, amidst the excitement, viewers have recently made a surprising discovery about the MasterChef logo that has been in use for approximately 20 years.
Many fans have only just realised that the swirl around the letter M in the logo resembles the hobs used by cooks. This clever design element has sparked amazement among viewers, with one individual expressing their disbelief on social media: “
I [have] literally just realised the MasterChef logo is shaped like a hob and it’s blown my mind.”
Another fan shared a similar sentiment, exclaiming: “
Oh my God, how had I never noticed this before?
” while another simply commented: “
It’s a hob ring. My mind is blown.
”
Despite the admiration for the logo’s culinary-themed detail, some viewers were quick to point out a discrepancy. Criticisms surfaced regarding the depiction of an electric hob in the logo design, with some arguing that real chefs prefer gas hobs. One disgruntled fan stated: “
I am always unreasonably annoyed about how the MasterChef logo is based on an electric hob when real chefs use gas hobs.”
Another echoed this sentiment, questioning the choice of an electric hob in the logo.
Celebrity MasterChef, a spin-off of the renowned cooking competition series, first aired on BBC One in the United Kingdom in 2006. The show, which features celebrities undertaking various cooking challenges, has gained immense popularity over the years with numerous seasons and international adaptations. This year’s line-up includes TV presenters, pop stars, reality TV personalities, and a socialite, all vying to impress judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace as they compete for the coveted title.
To catch all the culinary action, viewers can tune in to BBC One and BBC iPlayer, where episodes typically air on Tuesdays at 8pm, Thursdays at 8pm, and Fridays at 9pm. With the show celebrating its landmark 19th season, fans can expect more thrills and delicious dishes as the competition heats up in the kitchen.
