Singer evicted from Hell's Kitchen + Goodbye Photos



Pop star Niomi McLean-Daley became the latest celebrity to be booted off Hell's Kitchen.
The singer, aka Ms Dynamite, said she was "not at all shocked" to be the first contestant to be evicted by the public.

She told presenter Claudia Winkleman: "There is a big element of me that is thinking ... I will get to give my son a kiss goodnight for the first time in a long time."

She added: "It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life."

Friday's show was the first of the series where the public vote evicted a contestant. Previously they were sacked by chef Marco Pierre White.

McLean-Daley made her mark on the show by standing up to White.

When questioned about her confrontation with the chef she said: "I was woman enough to speak my mind but I would like to be woman enough to apologise for the way that I spoke to him.

"He'll probably kill me for saying this but he's lovely. I've come across some guys that are a lot scarier than Marco, he's lovely and he's got a huge heart."

When she was saying goodbye to the other contestants she reassured them saying: "I am going on a high. Thank you so much."

The last three celebrity chefs - model Danielle Bux, comedian Adrian Edmondson and actress Linda Evans - will battle it out in Saturday's show for a spot in Monday night's final.

Ms Dynamite, 28, real name Niaomi McLean-Daley, is currently in ITV show Hell's Kitchen and is set to release her third album later this year.

The 107 Club's manager Paul Faili said: "It was a sensational night and one of the biggest night's we had so far.

Ms Dynamite downplays return to music

Ms Dynamite has downplayed rumours that she is making a musical comeback.

The R&B star admitted that she was back in the recording studio, but would not confirm a full return to music.

"I'm doing bits and pieces," she revealed to DS. "Nothing major - I'm just having fun!"

When asked whether she thought her stint on Hell's Kitchen could revive her music career, she replied: "I don't think so - what I'm doing now is for fun and it's for way down the line.

"I'm figuring out what it is I want to do."

Earlier this year, Lily Allen predicted that Ms Dynamite's return would be "massive".

Hell's Kitchen 2009 - Ms Dynamite's meat problem

Double Brit Award and three time MOBO Awards winning R&B, garage, and hip hop singer and rapper Ms Dynamite (Niomi MacLean-Daley) admits that she hates sharing a kitchen - so how does she think she will fare having to cook with a host of other celebrities?

"My family think I'm crazy for taking part in the show because I always shout at them and tell them to get out of the kitchen when I'm cooking. I just can't multi-task, especially when it involves cooking.

"If someone talks to me I have to stop what I'm doing in order to concentrate. God help anyone who tries to have a conversation with me on the show if I'm trying to cook, I may even end up telling them to shut up."

Having recently become a vegetarian, which she confesses was "down to vanity"; Ms Dynamite is dreading the prospect that one of her challenges may involve gutting or skinning an animal.

"I think the main reason I became a vegetarian was I woke up one day and realised I'm 27-years-old and I'm still getting spots. I thought to myself 'Okay I need to figure out what's in my diet that isn't agreeing with me.'

"Once I started to cut down on the meat and dairy products it started to improve - it was all down to vanity to be honest. I don't want to get on my high horse about it but I do feel a lot healthier in my diet. I don't think I would struggle to cook meat during the show but gutting and skinning an animal would be a different story."

The singer jokes that she may bring music into Hell's Kitchen, even if it's just humming but admits that that intimidation can "get her back up".

How does she think she will cope working with the legendary chef Marco?

"I doubt I'll break into song when I'm in the kitchen but speaking of which, when I started making a sandwich during the warm up, the first thing I did was start humming away to myself, so who knows? When you're on your own it's different but then again if I start getting a bit stressed out it may help to calm me down.

“I’ll definitely be nervous. If Marco started shouting at me I’m worried that I may answer back, it all depends on the scenario...

“I haven’t met Marco before but I think he seems really cool. He comes across like it’s my way or the highway. Nonetheless, I like that because you always know where you stand with someone like that. I much prefer it when people speak their mind rather than pussyfooting around. I feel safe in his hands, if I am doing something wrong I’m sure he’ll correct me very quickly and that’s the best way I can learn. He seems very passionate and genuine…if a little scary from time to time.”

Admitting to feeling “a little out of my depth” when cooking, Ms Dynamite also reveals that she never follows a recipe and makes it up as she goes along.

“I like to think I am a good cook but honestly I can’t cook many dishes. Even when I do cook I don’t tend to follow the rules. I’ll fry something that should be done in the oven and visa versa but I get there in the end. I would say my signature dish has to be a roast dinner and I also make a pretty tasty pumpkin soup. I’ve been a vegetarian for almost two years now so I must admit I haven’t tasted one of my own roasts for a while now. That’s not to say I don’t miss meat, just not enough to go back.

“Something I really wouldn’t be prepared to cook, as it’s a nightmare ingredient for me is semolina - it brings back childhood traumas from school.

“My most memorable meals from childhood would be my Mum’s shepherd’s pie and my Nan’s pea stew. My Mum makes the most amazing shepherd’s pie which of course, I can’t eat now as I’m a vegetarian.”

After a break from the music industry, the singer reveals that she has a dislike of cameras and is hoping she will be able to cope with being in Hell’s Kitchen.

“I’m not sure how I’ll cope with the cameras - I think they’re going to be a big problem. I’m really hoping I’ll forget they’re there but it’s a part of my career as a singer that I’ve never gotten used to. The cameras are just there in your face constantly and it’s not like it’s even a person you can have a conversation with, they’re just objects that make me very nervous.

“The main thing I’m going to miss from the outside world is my five-year-old son. I’ll also miss my freedom and I hate the thought of having restrictions placed on me. It’s a different story if I choose to sit in my house for two weeks but I don’t like the fact that I have been told to stay in the house. I hate not being able to go where I want to.”

Hell's Kitchen celebrity grilling: Ms Dynamite

Niomi MacLean-Daley aka Ms Dynamite has already admitted she hates sharing a kitchen (good start), so we caught up with her to find out what else is likely to bug her when she goes into Hell.

Niomi then told us about her hate for baked beans. And judging by her description of how much she detests them, she would not be happy if she found them in the kitchen… go on Marco!

She recently became a vegetarian due to “vanity” and she is a fussy eater. Are you sure you want to go into Hell’s Kitchen Ms D?

She finally discusses her strategy, or lack of one.

Perhaps she should team up with Ade Edmondson. He could let her in on his. Oh help!

'The last two years I haven't done so much as I have been travelling so much that I am kind of rusty so I am going to have to get into the kitchen and chop.

'I don't know if I am good [at cooking] but I love it, I have never put myself in a position to be rated.'

One of the celebrities who will be challenged the most is hip-hop star Ms Dynamite, whose real name is Niomi McLean Daley.

Niomi, 27, admits she has recently become vegetarian so cooking meat may be difficult.
She explained: 'Once I started to cut down on the meat and dairy products, it started to improve - it was all down to vanity, to be honest.

'I don’t want to get on my high horse about it but I do feel a lot healthier in my diet. I don’t think I would struggle to cook meat during the show but gutting and skinning an animal would be a different story.'

Ms. Dynamite "Doo Wop (That Thing)"

• UK Raptress Ms. Dynamite resurfaces and does a smashing cover of Lauryn Hill's classic, "Doo Wop (That Thing)".

THINGS are heating up on Hell’s Kitchen – as one of the celebs faces the chop in tonight’s show.

THINGS are heating up on Hell’s Kitchen – as one of the celebs faces the chop in tonight’s show.
During Friday’s episode chef Marco Pierre White told the eight contestants that he’s about to give one of them the push.

And he also opted to make Niomi (Ms Dynamite) and Bruce Grobbelaar the next pair to become waiters.

Meanwhile, Danielle Bux had a tough time as a waitress, with Marco managing to reduce her to tears and burning herself on a hot tray.

After having a little cry she told Maitre d’ Nick Munier about her brush with Marco, saying: “He just made me take this and it’s absolutely boiling, he just went ‘Go with it!’”

As they walked back to the pass, Nick and Danielle were stopped by an increasingly agitated Marco, who stormed: “Nick, when serving a table they must take the tray, not stand there like a rabbit in headlights!”

She later told the camera: “If I was given the choice of going back in the kitchen or coming back out here for service, I think I would rather just go home tonight.”

Watch Hell’s Kitchen at 9pm on ITV1.
