In last night's episode, four hopefuls battled it out in the tasks by the judges to test their skills.

Ahead of the budding chefs were challenges set to test their knowledge, skills, flair and imagination, all under the unforgiving gaze of Anna Haugh,  Marcus Wareing and  Gregg Wallace.

But it was during the final test where the chefs had to wow the judges with their signature dishes' that left viewers of the show raging.

Fans of the BBC show weren't too happy with judge, Gregg Wallace who they felt was acting "like he's on a football pitch" as he yelled at the chefs to get their dishes on the plate before the time runs out.

Many people were quick to criticise Gregg for his critiques of the contestants and the way he talks to them.

One viewer wrote: ";Someone needs to tell Greg he isn’t at a football match for f*** sake."

Another wrote: "Shut the f*** up Greg! Why is he like this? The chefs must have so much patience with him."

A third exclaimed: "Gregg Wallace is being a c***."

In the final round four chefs had the opportunity to impress the judges with their own signature menu, but some failed to deliver.

They had one hour and 30 minutes to showcase their style, technique and eye for plating, and serve up a dish worthy of a quarter-final place. 

Sadly, contestant Emma's dish wasn't worthy of getting through and she was sent home.

MasterChef: The Professionals continues tonight at 9pm on BBC One.
