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.

Going green: Ms Dynamite may have trouble coping with meat as she has recently become a vegetarian

'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.'

Bux, Ms Dynamite for 'Hell's Kitchen'?

Tabloid reports have said that Danielle Bux and Ms Dynamite are among this year's Hell's Kitchen contestants.

According to The Sun, Bux, who is engaged to Match Of The Day presenter Gary Lineker, is a "huge coup" for the ITV series. The 29-year-old is a lingerie model.

"We're thrilled to get Danielle on board," said a source. "She really wants to show viewers she is not just Gary’s fiancée.

"Hopefully she'll be to the taste of our viewers. She's a really fresh face for the show."

R&B singer Ms Dynamite, real name Niomi McLean-Daley, has also apparently signed up for the reality series.

The full Hell's Kitchen lineup will be revealed tomorrow.

Marco Pierre White is back in the kitchen as a group of unsuspecting celebrities prepare to face a journey into hell as they attempt to feed a restaurant packed full of discerning diners each night.

The celebrities will leave their star status firmly at the kitchen door as Marco puts them to the ultimate test. They will learn how to cook a menu of classic dishes inspired by food Marco likes to eat and will have to live up to his exacting standards.

Claudia Winkleman will host the live show nightly from the Hell’s Kitchen restaurant in East London when it returns for its fourth series on Monday April 13.

The celebrities taking part in the show are: TV presenter Anthea Turner; model Danielle Bux; singer Ms Dynamite; actor and comedian Adrian Edmondson; former Liverpool goalie Bruce Grobbelaar; Entrepreneur Grant Bovey; actor Jody Latham and actress Linda Evans.

Marco, dubbed the godfather of British cuisine, will attempt to work his magic on the rookie chefs as they have just two weeks to learn how to dish up a feast fit for showbiz royalty.

He will push them to their limits to achieve perfection and crank up the heat to ensure every diner is fed.

This time there will be no room for error as Marco will have the power to sack the celebrities who he thinks aren’t up to the job. When it comes to choosing the series winner, the power will be back in the hands of the viewers who will vote for their favourite.

And, for the first time on Hell’s Kitchen, each night the two trainee chefs who have failed to impress Marco will feel the heat as he banishes them into the restaurant to wait on tables. Each guest waiter will be responsible for serving half the restaurant under the direction of maitre d’ Nick Munier.

They will have to take all orders and deliver food to the tables, plus they will be responsible for dishing out the desserts from the trolley.

It’s every cook for themselves as they work in just one team to impress both Marco and the customers.

And with just one kitchen there will be nowhere to hide for the rookie chefs.

Plus Marco will be inviting celebrity chefs including his friends Jean Christophe Novelli and Mario Batali to Hell’s Kitchen where they will put the trainees through their paces in a set of unique challenges.
