The budding chef told the judges that his daughter was a type 1 diabetic and that he won't let his daughter have anything to do with sugar.

But viewers were not impressed and slammed him for being "misleading" about Type 1 diabetes.

The NHS states that you don't have to cut out sugar when you have type 1 diabetes. In fact, you should always keep something with a high sugar content on you in case you need to raise your blood glucose levels."

Taking to Twitter, one wrote: "Having lived with a type 1 diabetic for 13 plus years, they can have sugar it just needs to be managed appropriately."

Another penned: "Why is John acting like a single grain of sugar will kill his type 1 diabetic daughter?"

A third added: "People with type 1 diabetes can eat sugar. Like everything, moderation is key."

A fourth wrote: "I'm pretty sure type 1 can have sugar."

A fifth added: "Obviously I'm rooting for the dilf with the sugar-free tart."
