Views have accused MasterChef host Gregg Wallace of throwing a contestant 'under the bus' over comments about a dish served up by a contestant on the BBC show. Some have accused him of being 'out of order' towards the contestant.
Jamahl, a recruitment consultant from London, had been discussing a previous bad round with the presenter. Jamahl had cooked chicken thighs with a tomato and jerk sauce which was meant to go with rice and peas in round one of Thursday night's show on BBC One (April 14).
Birmingham Live reports he came under scrutiny from the judges after serving up the chicken thighs alone as he admitted he had undercooked the rice. There was more bad news for Jamahl when guest judge Jay Rayner then set a task for the contestants - to make rice the star of their next dish. And Gregg was quick to tell him about his earlier slip-up.
