Riyadh was crowned the Celebrity MasterChef 2020 champion in July last year after impressing judges John and Gregg.
The then 28-year-old YouTuber managed to beat 19 other celebrities to take home the crown, going up against athletes Sir Matthew Pinsent and Sam Quek in the final.
According to The Mirror, Riyadh impressed with a flawless winning menu, which included monkfish scampi in beer batter with wild garlic mayonnaise and a lemon and onion seed garnish to start. Beef fillet with port shallots, celeriac cream and a parmesan tuile for main and white chocolate fondant with rhubarb poached in elderflower liqueur, topped with crumbled pistachio and edible flowers to end the meal.

The former Olympic-winning athlete added another trophy to his collection when he won Celebrity Masterchef in 2019.
Greg beat Vicky Pattison and Neil Ruddock in the final with an “ambitious” three-course meal.
The athletes dishes included a main of crusted lamb cutlets.
At the time he said: “This is a massive achievement. I used everything I learnt as a sportsperson to dedicate my time and energy into creating the best food I possibly could. I’m over the moon.”
Celebrity Masterchef starts tonight at 9pm on BBC One.
