Celebrity MasterChef viewers were left ‘nausea’ on Tuesday night’s show after singer Melanie Blatt served a pea and lamb dish.
The former All Saints singer, 47, has been criticized by bystanders for using a “disturbing amount of peas” with her meat.
Her full dish consisted of a pan-fried lamb loin served on a lawn of mashed mint purée and buttered peas with asparagus tips, cheesy dauphinoise potatoes, stewed carrots and a Madeiran gravy.

She had made the dish look like a garden, with the peas for grass along with flowers and a plant pot on the side.
Commenting on the course, judge Gregg Wallace admitted, “It doesn’t have the spectacular appeal of the other dishes, but Mel, you can really cook.”
Fans at home were unimpressed, however, with one writing on Twitter: ‘What the hell is Mel thinking? I get sick looking at her plate – way too many peas for my taste!’
