British socialite Emma Weymouth became the latest star to be eliminated from Celebrity MasterChef on Thursday - and fans think she struggled to hide her disappointment.
The 38-year-old Marchioness of Bath got the boot from the all-star cooking competition just ahead of the quarter finals.
In the most recent episode, she faced off against singer, actor and presenter Jake Quickenden, actor Tamer Hassan, and comedian Jamie MacDonald.
However, after three grueling challenges in the kitchen, Emma failed to impress the judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace enough to earn her a place in the next round.
The episode began with a unique trial that saw the four eager celebrities be split into two teams - with Tamer and Emma as one duo, and Jake and Jamie as another.

The teams had to both work on a dish each, but only one half of the pairing was allowed to look at the recipe and was tasked with instructing their partner.
Jake instructed Jamie as they made spiced quail with yassa sauce, cassava chips and rice. Meanwhile, Emma guided Tamer as they cooked up grilled jerk chicken, with rice and peas, mango coleslaw and dumplings.
After the largely successful communication challenge, the contestants were sent to two professional kitchens to try their hand at a busy lunch service.
Then, the final task of the episode saw the hopeful celebrities back in the MasterChef kitchen as they each prepared a signature dish for their own food truck.
Jake whipped up a tempura taco dish, Tamer made a lamb kebab, and Jamie opted for a chicken burger - all of which impressed the judges.
However, Emma's summer rolls fell short, which cost her her place in the quarter finals.
She prepared marinated chicken thighs and pickled vegetables, wrapped in rice paper but the judges struggled to taste any chilli in her dish.
'The major flavour in there is corriander, I don't pick up any chilli heat,' admitted Greg, 'I would have liked a little bit of chilli'.
