MASTERCHEF: The Professionals viewers were left in stitches over one contestant's comment about their partner.
The hit BBC cooking programme continued last night as just four finalists remain.
They each had to design a dish for a pop-up event.
But Devon-based chef James grabbed the attention of viewers at home.
He decided to make a glazed tofu with glazed mushrooms and crispy onions which went down a treat with customers.
When asked what was his motivation behind the dish, James revealed his partner is 'plant-based'.
The non-specific reply left viewers in stitches of laughter as they took to social media to react.
"His partner is plant based. Is he going out with a nettle #MasterChefTheProfessionals," said one viewer.
Another said: "I hope James doesn't see the other chefs cooking bits of his partner. #MasterChefTheProfessionals."
"He is cooking his partner to win," joked a third fan.
