In the latest episode John whipped up a sugar-free chocolate tart.

The dish was artificially sweetened and featured a hazel nut and almond foundation, vanilla cream toasted hazel nuts, salted caramel, and a raspberry soaked in brandy coolie.

When Gregg, 60, tried the chocolate tart he wasn't too happy as he said it's "too wet in the middle".

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."
