VIEWERS of tonight's Celebrity MasterChef final had to grab the tissues after the "nicest man" Jimmy Osmond was beaten by actor Alexis Conran.
Celebrity MasterChef viewers were left heartbroken after Jimmy Osmond lost out on the title
The 53-year-old singer was certainly a fan favourite on the BBC cooking show, with those at home hailing him as both "kind" and "loveable".
However, his warming smile and endless charm wasn't enough to see him lift the title, as professional conman Alexis wowed judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode with his Greek recipes.
Clearly not pleased with the result, many took to social media to voice their disappointment about the American musician's alleged "snub".
One person wrote on Twitter: "Awww I wanted @jimmyosmond to win #CelebrityMasterChef… he was so adorable and his food looked awesome!!!! Very entertaining series."

Alexis made a starter of Octopus Stifado with fava, and although John and Gregg were divided over the taste of the dish, they were able to agree on the technical skills used to make it.
