MasterChef contestant reaches boiling point and snaps at Curtis Stone during high-intensity challenge


Thursday night’s episode of MasterChef saw the remaining contestants face off in a highly anticipated Immunity Cook.

And it appears the high-intense challenge was too much for Tommy Pham, who snapped at celebrity guest chef Curtis Stone.

During the Channel 10 cooking show, contestants were required to keep up with Curtis as he cooked a dish live from Los Angeles.

Not given a recipe to follow Tommy, Kishwar Chowdhury, Linda Dalrymple and Sabina Newton had to play it by ear and follow his instructions live.

With a gift card of $10,000 and immunity from Sunday’s double elimination on the line, the chefs were under immense pressure to keep up.

As Curtis announced there was sixty seconds on the clock left, Tommy snapped: ‘Oh get stuffed. You’re not one minute away from plating. You’re not!’

Despite slowing down a notch, Curtis replied, ‘If you want to work in good restaurants one day you’re going to need to keep up with the person next to you.’
