But in an interview with 10 daily on Tuesday, Harry acknowledged he made some costly mistakes leading to his elimination.
‘I went too conceptual. That’s not the kind of food I cook at all,’ he said.
‘I think I went too far with the idea of making it so visually wow, visually incredible that I lost the focus of food I really enjoy cooking. That was my downfall.’
