Each star was tasked to cook a specific dish from celebrity chef Big Zuu's collection of recipes.

Whilst cooking enthusiasts thought that some of the dishes were technical to make, they also thought one of the contestants had it "easy".

Noughties pop star and Hollyoaks actress Jamelia, 42, was tasked with making akara - a fried sweet dumpling - with chocolate peanut butter ice cream.

But viewers took to social media in droves as they claimed that the result could have been rigged as Jamelia had an easier dish to make.

One fan exclaimed: "Sorry but Jamelia has the easiest dish surely? She’s using an ice cream maker for a start, and then just fried sweet dumplings."

A second claimed: "Easy desserts. One looked more appetising than the other."

Whilst a third noticed that opera singer Wynne Evans had a particularly tough challenge, writing: "Big Zuu has got Wynne making fufu - he looks knackered with all that stirring lmao."

A fourth noted: "Sorry but putting Jamelia through ahead of Wynne is a farce, how can you compare them. Wynne actually had a very difficult dish to do ( Zuu even said it was hard to do)."

Shazia Mirza, 47, was tasked with making a slider bun out of noodles and a fifth user added in anger: "Dried noodles as the bun?... Errrmmm, yeah, get t'f***... #CelebrityMasterChef #MasterChefUK."

As her food was presented to the judging trio, the former Loose Women panellist received sweeping praise for her dish across the board.

Gregg, 58, claimed her ice-cream was one of the nicest he had "ever tasted" as This Morning personality John, 58, even claimed that he would happily go to a restaurant to eat the dish.

He declared: "Jamelia, I'd pay for that. I think it's ace, and you did presentation!"

After they tried her food Jamelia admitted just how amazing she felt that Big Zuu and the other judges loved her cooking.

She was then chosen as the star cook out of all the group and she was sent straight through to the next round.

However, the show has been hit with even more 'fix' claims as other viewers thought former Love Island star Luca Bish, 24, was not properly challenged either.

Before he rose to fame on the ITV2 reality show he was known as a fishmonger, however he was given a lobster dish to make, much to viewers anger.

One fumed: "Luca getting fish again… slightly fixed considering he used to be a fishmonger ?? #celebritymasterchef"

A second remarked: "Luca looks bored #celebritymasterchef."

"He’s ahoy a few elements but each element isn’t very difficult #CelebrityMasterChef," noted a third.
