Celebrity MasterChef fans divided over Gregg Wallace's fancy food combo claim

Celebrity MasterChef viewers were left confused this evening after Gregg Wallace claimed everyone had tried a certain posh dish.

John Torode was showing his fellow judge Gregg a dish that the remaining celebs were tasked with whipping up.

Sam Quek and Karen Gibson forming one team, and Dom Littlewood and Phil Daniels the other, one of the dishes on the menu was cob wrapped in ham on a bed of lentils.

As John showed off to mate Gregg, he insisted that everyone had tried ham-wrapped cod before.

"We've all seen and had cod wrapped in ham," Gregg said, "This isn't going to be unusual for them."

When John was done, Gregg joked: "I have a feeling we're not going to get anything as neat as that."

Fans took to Twitter over Gregg's claim - insisting that the posh dish isn't as common as he thinks.

One tweeted: "I haven't had, and don't think I have ever seen, a piece of cod wrapped in ham #CelebrityMasterchef."

Another wrote: "No Gregg, we haven't all had cod wrapped in bacon. But now I really want to try it. #CelebrityMasterchef #MasterchefUK."

A third laughed: "Just tucking into my cod wrapped in ham...can't remember the last time I didn't have it."

Last night's show saw Drag Race star Baga Chipz given the boot as the numbers continue to thin.

*Celebrity MasterChef returns tomorrow night (Friday July 10) at 8pm on BBC One.
