Josh Cuthbert, who gained prominence on The X Factor in 2012 with his band Union J, where they secured fourth place, found himself in a lighthearted clash on Friday’s edition of Celebrity Masterchef.

The episode took a humorous turn when Cuthbert, at 26, skillfully prepared a delectable Tarte Tatin, only to be playfully teased by judge Gregg Wallace about his musical abilities.

Wallace jested, saying, “Josh, while your singing might not have hit the high notes, your cooking certainly does.”

Awkward: Josh Cuthbert was left unimpressed on Friday’s episode of Celebrity MasterChef as he jokingly got into a ‘spat’ with judge Gregg Wallace after he insulted his singing skills

To which Gregg quipped: ‘Josh, you couldn’t sing, but you can cook.’

With Josh responding with: ‘You haven’t heard me sing, don’t act like you have.’

He continued: ‘You have no idea who I am!’ 

Uh-oh: During the episode, the singer, 26, had rustled up an impressive and tasty-looking Tarte Tatin, to which Gregg quipped: ‘Josh, you couldn’t sing, but you can cook.’

Gregg and his co-judge, John Torode, were left awkwardly laughing over the scenes, as he cheekily added: ‘He’s got a point!’

And the ‘spat’ didn’t go unnoticed by viewers at home who took to Twitter to share their thoughts over the blunder.

One person said: ‘‘You don’t know who I am’ Go #josh! #CelebrityMasterchef that told you @GreggWallace4.’

A different user put: ‘Josh: “You don’t know who I am!” Gregg: “He’s got a point.” And so, the celebrity reality TV format is broken forever #CelebrityMasterchef.’

Feisty: With Josh responding with: ‘You haven’t heard me sing, don’t act like you have. You have no idea who I am!’

Oops: Gregg and his co-judge, John Torode, were left awkwardly laughing over the scenes, as he cheekily added: ‘He’s got a point!’

Another show watcher commented: ‘Well said Josh! Vs Greg – hahahaha #CelebrityMasterchef.’

While a different viewer added: ‘”You have no idea who I am!” Okay, that made me laugh…through to the next round! #CelebrityMasterchef.’

And despite the awkward ‘spat’, Josh sailed through to the next round with rugby star Martin Bayfield, with Lily Allen’s father, Keith Allen, and T’Pau singer, Carol Decker, being sent home.  

Celebrity MasterChef continues on Thursday at 8pm on BBC One.
