Chef Michel Roux Jr has admitted during an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk that he’s been “too busy” to catch up with MasterChef, which he formerly starred in, despite watching it “religiously” before.<\/p>\n

The 63-year-old says he misses being a “father figure” to the contestants, who have faced tough criticism during this year’s series.<\/p>\n

Would-be chefs have found themselves in floods of tears after declaring they’d “failed badly” at food-related tasks.<\/p>\n

However, Michel revealed: “To be brutally honest I haven’t seen any of the MasterChef series because I’ve been so, so busy.<\/p>\n

“I used to religiously watch it when I was on, and the reason behind that is that I needed to be 100 percent up to speed when people asked me questions about it.<\/p>\n

He added that as the show was filmed six months in advance, he “tended to forget” what had happened.<\/p>\n

“I always used to watch it so that I was prepared and ready for the question,” he explained.<\/p>\n

Although he hasn’t caught an episode in recent years, he still has fond memories of the show, explaining: “I really thoroughly enjoyed my time on MasterChef: The Professionals, especially being a mentor and almost like a father figure to the contestants… to be able to inspire them and help them to achieve greater things.”<\/p>\n

He also says he doesn’t approve of non-constructive criticism, explaining that there should always be a “light at the end of the tunnel” for hopefuls, and an explanation of how they can perfect the task next time they try.<\/p>\n
