Blind star’s MasterChef hope

AMAR Latif hopes to inspire other blind people to try new adventures after he made it through the first round of Celebrity MasterChef.

The TV travel presenter impressed judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode with his “fabulous and fantastic” seabass on a vermicelli noodle salad with ginger.

Amar, 45, told the Mirror: “It just confirmed you can turn your hand to anything if you really put your mind to it. I’m hoping that blind people can be inspired to not let their blindness send them down a spiral.

“You might have to work harder, but once you achieve something, you can change the world.”

Amar had two weeks’ training before going on the show, having little INSPIRATION Amar cooking experience before. He added: “Having to come up with ways I can actually cook required a lot of work,” TV host Jeff Brazier became the first to leave the contest .

■ Celebrity MasterChef continues on BBC1 tonight at 8pm.
