MASTERCHEF judge John Torode was left seriously unhappy with one contestant on the show's quarter-final.
The BBC star was left making a savage quip after one of the show's hopeful cooks massively underperformed during the latest round.
During the episode, the cooks were tasked with creating a dish that was a fusion of two completely different food styles.
If successful, they would present John and his co-star Gregg Wallace, as well as guest judge Jimi Faruwema, with a dish that featured a combination of two different cultures.
However for Natasha, she rattled John that must that he was left tearing into her and her cooking backstage with Gregg.

With Natasha out of earshot, it was clear that she failed to live up to the mark as John decided she was instantly to be axed from the contest.
Speaking to Gregg, John fumed: "There was today one dish that for me just did not work out at all and that came from Natasha."
Natasha had made a mushroom overload with her Chinese five-spice beef, cabbage and mushroom lasagne, topped with deep-fried enoki mushroom and drizzled in mushroom broth.
However, it was clear that it was not quite the fusion that the twosome had hoped for.
Tearing into what she had offered up, John said: "It was like my wonton had exploded in a bowl."
Gregg took a less harsh approach but still agreed that she had failed to live up to the mark.
He said: "I can't criticise the cookery of it, but the design of it, it just didn't fulfil the brief."
Whilst Natasha rubbed the judges up the wrong way, it was the programme's latest twist that left viewers seething.
In order to spice up the contest, BBC bosses are welcoming back past contestants who failed to make it past the semi-finals stage in the past.
It has seen many familiar faces attempt to have a second chance at gaining the MasterChef crowd.

This week's successful candidates will continue on throughout the series alongside the other newbie contestants who have already secured their places in the latter stages of the cookery competition.
But the move has left many viewers sceptical and they were quick to uncover what they believe to be the 'real reason' the programme has adopted the twist.
Commenting on the show-first online, many suggested that the show has ran out of potential contestants as they suggested it had been forced to turn to those who have taken part before.
Hitting out on X - formerly Twitter - one viewer wrote: "I don’t like these ‘come back’ shows. Did they not have enough applicants this year or something?"
Another added: "Not sure what the comeback stuff is all about."
