Viewers watching BBC's MasterChef this evening (Thursday, April 20) were left confused after one contestant 'blamed his wife' for a mistake he made with one of his dishes.

Contestant Adam served a version of a chicken waffle dish for the judges, including guest star Jay Rayner. He decided to chop up the dish, giving it an authentic look. but was slammed by the judges as they described it as a "plate of promise."

After receiving the feedback, Adam said that it was his wife who told him to chop the food up. Adam was quick to point out what a "stupid" idea it was but some fans were left angry as to why he brought his wife into the scenario.
