Celebrity MasterChef fans were unhappy with the show for giving the womens team a harder dish to cook.
One of the challenges in Wednesdays episode saw the celebrities split into two teams and make the same dish without being able to see what the other person is doing, communicating by calling over a wall.
Olympic long jumper Greg Rutherford and boxer Dillian Whyte had to make pork and beef meatballs with gnocchi and tomato sauce, while American Motown singer Martha Reeves and actress Elizabeth Bourgine were tasked with lobster bolognese.

Martha and Elizabeth were at a loss at first because neither of them had ever made pasta from scratch or cooked lobster.
Viewers argued on Twitter that lobster is definitely harder to make than meatballs, and that the womens team were at a disadvantage.
However the boys had to get over the small obstacle of working how big their balls should be.
Presenter and judge John Torode said: They should be the size of a golf ball, the problem is Greg and Dillion both dont play golf.
But despite their challenging dish, Martha and Elizabeth scored praise for their flavours, and the fact they managed to put together a complete dish at all.
Gregg Wallace said: Weve got two very different looking dishes, one of spaghetti one of tagliatelle.
Im really amazed because neither of you two had ever prepared lobster, and neither of you two had ever made pasta. So I have to congratulate both of you for getting a dish out at all.
While Martha was congratulated for big bold and gutsy flavour, Elizabeth wsa criticised for overdoing it with the brandy in her dish.
