MasterChef contestant forced to apologise after Gregg Wallace barks order at her as she struggles for time
ONE MasterChef contestant was left apologising after judge Gregg Wallace continually barked orders at her as she struggled to prepare her meals on time.
The BBC One cookery contest was hotting up and it seemed that the temperature of the kitchen may have been too hot for one contestant during the latest episode.
The cooking hopefuls were tasked with creating two courses to be served up to returning stars from previous series’ of the show.
50 year old piano teacher Thuy from Wrexham however appeared to suffer a blunder when she appeared to fall behind the allocated time to prepare for the guest judges.
When it was her time to shine, Thuy appeared nervous and perplexed which didn’t seem to be helped by judge Gregg Wallace continually asking her questions as she fell further and further behind schedule.
As she attempted to roll out the dough for a flatbread, Gregg said nonchalantly: “How many flatbreads have you made so far Thuy?”
Flustered, she felt forced to apologise to Gregg as she said: “This is my first one, sorry!”
Before she could even take a breath, fellow judge John Torode jumped down her throat as he said: “You’ve got eight minutes Thuy, you need to roll and fry as fast as you can!”
Really feeling the pressure, she whimpered back “I’m going” in a bid to allow the judges to let her get on with it.
Clearly not wanting to give it a rest, seconds later, Gregg continued to bark at Thuy.
He said: “While those are cooking, can you plate up the rest?”
Dashing about the kitchen, Thuy appeared breathless as she replied simply: “Yes.”
Gregg then added: “Just to relax you even further, you are supposed to be serving now!”
Thuy shot an uncomfortable smile back as she began to plate up under the watchful eye of Gregg and John as they insisted they “had to go now”.
Unfortunately for Thuy, her dishes failed to live up to that of her fellow competitors and she found herself axed by Gregg and John at the end of the episode alongside fellow chef, Owen.
