MasterChef contestant drowns in vat of his own custard

UK MasterChef contestant, Byron Goldsmith, a plumber from North London, drowned in a vat of his own custard while taking part in last weeks contest. The unfortunate participant was apparently recovering from the shock of a 'near miss' incident involving a large quantity of rhubarb, when the tradegy happened.


A kitchen assistant, who witnessed the accident said " he was just leaning over to get his  hat", which apparently had fallen in during the earlier rhubarb fiasco.

John Torode and Greg Wallace, the UK presenters and judges of the popular TV show said "he had showed early promise, but in reality his custard was too thick!" His mother, who is still in a state of indifference, said "he has always been accident prone".


The contestants task was to cook a three course meal for 100 officers of the British Royal Artillery regiment, who were said to be "disappointed".
