Jhané Gibson's will to win - ‘MasterChef UK’ champ chalks up J'can heritage as major ingredient for victory
A week later, amateur cook Jhané Gibson has yet to fully process that she's the winner of one of Britain's enduring reality shows. "I still can’t believe that I am a ‘MasterChef UK’ champion! I worked so hard throughout the show to improve with every dish, so winning really feels like all of the hard work paid off," said Gibson, a second-generation Jamaican born to a father who hails from Clarendon and an English mother whose parents grew up in Kingston. The 30-year-old — raised in a family of fervent yardie cooks — was the last woman standing last Friday of the BBC TV-aired cooking competition that began with 48 contestants.
