MasterChef contestant blasted by John Torode and Gregg Wallace for serving ‘raw’ food
A MASTERCHEF contestant has been blasted by John Torode and Gregg Wallace for serving ‘raw’ food.
The celebrity edition of the BBC One cooking competition continued on Tuesday night.
It was the semi-finals as the remaining celebrities battled it out.
As the famous faces entered the kitchen, John and Gregg explained they would be making their ultimate sandwiches.
Former Gogglebox star Mica Ven revealed she was making her signature Jamaican pepper steak.
She also made a three-cheese stromboli to go alongside the dish, which is an Italian-American sandwich.
Mica told the cameras: “I love a good sandwich, you know, especially after a night out.”
However, when it came to presenting her feast, she was left stunned by the judges comments.
John Torode told her: “Hang on Mica, it’s not cooked.
In complete shock, she exclaimed: “You’re joking.”
He went on to say: “You’ve got the steak which is cooked very nicely, lots of seasoning around the outside, including a bit of jerk.
“But unfortunately that’s raw dough, so I’ve taken all the centre out of my stromboli and I’m just left with boli, rather than strom.”
Gregg added: “You’ve got an issue with that pastry.”
After leaving the kitchen, an embarrassed Mica said: “I can’t believe I came on big, big MasterChef and gave John and Gregg raw food.
“Who does that?!”
Unfortunately for Mica her slip up cost her a place in the final and she was eliminated from the competition.
MasterChef continues on BBC One and iPlayer.
