Josh Cuthbert first found fame on The X Factor in 2012 as a member of Union J, the boy band who went on to finish the competition in fourth place.
But on Friday’s episode of Celebrity MasterChef, the singer found himself at the centre of a light-hearted exchange with judge Gregg Wallace, after the presenter took a cheeky swipe at his vocal talents.
During the show, Josh, 26, impressed in the kitchen by preparing a polished and mouth-watering Tarte Tatin.

Awkward moment: Josh Cuthbert appeared less than impressed on Friday’s Celebrity MasterChef after Gregg Wallace jokingly insulted his singing during a playful on-screen clash
Gregg then delivered the teasing verdict: ‘Josh, you couldn’t sing, but you can cook.’
Josh quickly fired back: ‘You haven’t heard me sing, don’t act like you have.’
He added, keeping the banter going: ‘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.
