During Friday’s edition, comedian Shazia Mizra, The Wanted heartthrob Max George and broadcaster Terry Christian were all tasked with creating two dishes to impress both John and Gregg and a panel of former celebrity contestants.

They had to come up with their own meals that they thought would help them bag a place in the semi-finals of the contest.

However, the show has been caught up in another fix scandal as fans were left displeased with Max and accused the singer of ‘cheating’ for the second time in a week.

During the latest episode, Max confessed to the judges that he would be creating an interpretation of a Burmese curry – a dish he had been taught to create by A-list chefs in a top London restaurant in the round prior.

In his dish, Max opted to make a Burmese curry with Asian noodles with chicken cooked in ginger, garlic and chilli.

John pressed Max more on his chicken as he asked him if he was basing it upon anything else he had ever eatne.

Here, in transpired that Max was ‘copying’ what he had done during the previous challenge – a move which did not sit well with fans.

Max said: “When I went to the restaurant to work, it was a Burmese restaurant and they made something similar.”

It left fans branding his actions as “cheating” as they felt it was a replica of what he had done the day prior.

Writing online, one fan said: “Max copying the restaurant menu is just cheating.”

Another added: “So Max just cooked what he had to make at the restaurant…?”

A third said: “Err isn’t that what Max cooked in the pro kitchen. Did he think we wouldn’t notice?”

It is the second time this week that fans have accused the boybander of ‘cheating’.

At the start of the contest, Max told the cameras that he lied on his application form for Celebrity MasterChef just to get on the show.

He claimed he cooked “four times a week” but admitted that he “doesn’t cook at all”.

But fans were left puzzled after he then went on to whip up a storm in the kitchen.

Some fans then accused Max of “lying” about his experience in the kitchen.

One said: “Is Max George lying about not knowing how to cook?”

Another added: “Can’t cook but making steak, jam and custard.”

And a third wrote: “Max taking the easy route with soup.”

Others suggested that the singer might have had “sneaky” cookery lessons before filming for the BBC One programme got underway.

“Max has def had sneaky cookery lessons,” a viewer said.

Another chimed in: “Been sent to a pre show crammer like so many of these alleged celebs.”
