Oh dear: On Thursday night’s show of Celebrity Masterchef, Gemma Collins was labeled ‘lazy, rude, and disrespectful’ by some viewers… while others adored her ‘bossy’ attitude.

Talking to one of the professional chefs, Gemma said: ‘Do you want to put that in the oven for me hun’? Ooh, someone get me fish out!’ she demanded.

She then revealed that she felt completely at ease in the heat of the moment, admitting: ‘I feel like I’ve got this right under control in the kitchen now.’

‘I think if I worked in a kitchen I’d need to be like where this man’s standing’ explained the blonde bombshell, as she pointed at the head chef, before turning behind her and impatiently requesting: ‘The fish, the fish!’
