Talkin' 'bout Your Generation's Josh Thomas, 22, will be swapping his sweater vests for an apron as he takes on Kirk Pengilly and Indira Naidoo in the first episode of Celebrity MasterChef.
Why did you go on the show?Are you kidding? It's all I've ever wanted. Well, Since like 2 months ago.
'''How was it competing against Indira and Kirk?'''Yeah, cool. They are cool, nice people.
Did you cheat in any way?No! And if I did I wouldn't tell you! What'd be the point of that?
Did you behave inappropriately to your competitors?No, we were all very nice and civilized. I'm sorry, that's boring isn't it.
What was going through your mind that day?I've never been so nervous. I am not really sure why. I get too involved in my food. If I serve bad food at a dinner party I feel the same as when I used to die on stage when I started doing stand-up.
Is it true you have an ice-cream maker at home?Yes! Whatever. Don't mention it. Any ladies out there like rhubarb sorbet? Because I can make some. Whatever.
What can't you stomach?Frozen vegetables. Mum used to feed them to me when I was a kid and I hated them. I used to put them in my mouth, pretend I needed to pee then spit them in the toilet. Fresh peas are so delicious, sweet and crunchy. Frozen peas are like eating hate.
What's your guilty pleasure?I eat a lot of stuff I probably shouldn't but I don't bother with the guilt.
What's your specialty dish?I made a Morrocan lamb tagine and a saffron crema catalana. A crema catalana is like creme brulee but it is Spanish and has orange and cinnamon infused in it.
Do you have a secret weapon ingredient you can reveal to us?
Love.
Tina Fey, Ricky Gervais, George Bush, Stephen Colbert, Sarah Palin and other people that won't talk over them. Basically I just want to see what the funny people do to the crappy politicians.
Do you use your cooking skills as a way to pick up women? And how's that going for you?It isn't a very applicable skill because you already have to have the girl in your house. Unless you can find me a bar I can bring a plate to?
What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word:Apple: tarte tatin
Flathead: My Dad. Because he used to always try and catch them and faileWaffle: I think of waffle makers. I really want one but I know it is stupid, really stupid and I don't need it. I am a sucker for stupid kitchen stuff. I own a chocolate fountain.
Will you do better on Celebrity MasterChef than you did on Talkin' 'bout Your Generation?Gosh I hope so.
Celebrity MasterChef premieres Wed Sept. 30, at 7.30PM on TEN.
