MasterChef fans have come up with a rude conspiracy after watching the latest instalment of the show, as they’ve convinced the produces left a cheeky joke for viewers at home.
Cooking-aficionados have been captivated as the MasterChef: The Professionals are pushed to the limit for the latest series by Gregg Wallace and chef Marcus Wareing.
However, it was a cheeky arrangement of some ingredients that left some viewers at home questioning if someone set up the rude display for viewers.
The judges set out to taste the hopeful winners’ latest creations and turned to Chris Finnigan, 37, as the cameras panned across the cooking station next to him.
On the side there were two eggs next to each other with a piece of rhubarb but in-between them, creating a rather rude looking shape.
Rather than quickly moving on or editing out the show, the camera stayed on the phallic object long enough for viewers to take note of and then zoomed in on it.
Fans flooded social media after spotting the awkward misplacement of food, with many viewers saying it was intentional especially as the camera focused in on the moment.
One fan even captured the moment and reposted it to TikTok and joked: "Masterchef promoting c**k and balls."
As another user replied: "I've seen two of these videos and honestly that's more than enough for me to believe it.”
As a third said: "Someone in set design did this, maybe they've seen the video, maybe they know you're onto them."
While another agreed: "One hundred percent the prop and set dress team are about to get pulled into a meeting today."
While one fan tweeted: "Is anyone else following the MasterChef c**k and balls conspiracy?", as another said: "Masterchef c**k and balls conspiracy’ is this the funniest thing I’ve seen all day," in reference to the semi-viral video.
"There is a theory going around on TikTok that Masterchef purposefully hide penises references between shots and nobody will convince me that isn’t true," an avid fan penned.
The entertaining filming mishap comes after viewers criticised the show for a new addition that felt "smug and pretentious."
In the semi-finals the chefs were given three hours to make twenty portions of food without an oven and in a cramped workspace.
Then the four professionals had to serve their dishes in a pop-up restaurant, and viewers were not impressed by their guest’s reactions.
Fans suggested that the foodies were "smug" and "pretentious" as one commented: "The barbecue only really shone through for me on the broccoli."
In response, a viewer tweeted: "The most important thing we have learned from the last couple of episodes is that successful pop-up owners are smug, pretentious *****.”
