“That’s the quote from the series!” MasterChef fans giggled at Greg Wallace’s cheeky innuendo as he wrapped up Diya after her onion bhaji nightmare
MasterChef fans were left giggling at Greg Wallace’s cheeky innuendos when he sent contestant Diya Kotecha-Lodhia to Friday night’s show.
After a tough knockout phase, the cook’s hopes of reaching the final were dashed when her onion bhajis failed to impress the judges.
Viewers saw Diya serve up the Indian fritter with a side of two sweet chutneys as an appetizer, followed by an East African curry.
The judges were “underwhelmed” by her starter, saying her main course “didn’t quite work.”
But it was Gregg’s inadvertent innuendo that left the fans in the lurch, when he reflected on the starter he simply said, “I thought that ball was pretty salty.”

One person shared his thoughts on Twitter, writing, “Quote from the series on #MasterChef tonight by Greg Wallace: “I thought those balls were way too salty.” Legend.’
“Gregg thought those balls were too salty,” another giggled.
Someone else posted, “Can confirm, Greg Wallace doesn’t like salt balls.”
Another fan echoed, “Nothing worse than salty balls Gregg.”
Last week, MasterChef viewers were stunned when fan favorite Forest took the competition’s boot.
The marketing director, 34, originally from Hong Kong, impressed viewers and judges alike earlier in the competition, but suffered a series of setbacks tonight during the quarterfinals.
He chose to make a savory dish for the first time, but returning winner Thomasina Miers, who was allowed to judge this week, was not impressed.
Thomasina said Forest’s lobster and cheese sauce was not up to standards, as she called them “one-dimensional.”

His Eton Mess also failed to impress, but viewers think it was Forest’s decision to use packet noodles, allowing judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace to easily send him home, leaving viewers furious.
One person took to Twitter to express his disappointment with the result, writing, “Forest was my winner until today!”
“Forest is only lost because he got his noodles out of a packet,” another commented.
Another viewer posted, “One person wraps noodles. One person makes his own noodles. Shouldn’t it be Forest? Just a really bad choice of two dishes by him.’
