Celebrity Masterchef fans couldn’t hide their upset as they accused the show of failing to maintain hygiene standards.

Viewers on Twitter were curious about why some celebrities weren’t wearing hairnets, even though they were in a professional kitchen environment for the latest episode of the intense cooking show.

Friday’s episode of Celebrity Masterchef saw both Karen Gibson and Dom Littlewood eliminated after failing to impress Gregg Wallace and John Torode.

What’s going on? Celebrity Masterchef fans couldn’t hide their upset as they questioned why stars failed to wear hairnets

This week fans saw Olympic hockey star Sam Quek, EastEnders’ Phil Daniels and and Karen try to conjure up cuisine to impress the judges. 

Fans were quick to point out that they should be wearing hairnets in a kitchen, claiming it flouted health and safety rules.

One fan tweeted: ‘Why don’t those with long hair wear a hair net in line with food hygiene standards.’

Another posted: ‘Long hair in the kitchen and no hairnet – Grrr!’

Bizarre: Viewers took to Twitter to question why some of the stars weren’t wearing hairnets, despite being in a professional kitchen setting

Annoyed: Many took to social media to share their outrage. Current food safety regulations state the use of a hairnet  cannot be enforced

Another viewer tweeted: ‘Why weren’t the Celebrity Masterchef contestants wearing hairnets while cooking last night? That wouldn’t happen in a professional kitchen. Hair in your food? Definitely not.’

One also posted: ‘I wish they were wearing hair nets though… nobody wants a hair choking them as they eat their lunch -gag gag.’

According to food safety guidelines, long hair must be tied back in a kitchen, which Sam adhered to, but wearing a hairnet isn’t a mandatory requirement.

MailOnline has contacted a representative for Celebrity Masterchef for comment. 

In the clear: Dom Littlewood was the only star free of critique, due to his bald head

Dominic Littlewood was the only star free of critique, due to his bald head. 

Friday’s show saw fans both Karen and Dom eliminated from the show after failing to win over the panel with the dishes.

Karen was forced to serve her duck undercooked after running out of time, while Dom dished up soggy carrot bhajis and a prawn curry.

Sam and Phil advanced to the second round, with a new group of stars set to complete in the famous kitchen next week.

Celebrity Masterchef continues on Wednesday at 9pm on BBC One.
