Next Level Chef viewers rip into ‘irritating’ celebrity guest during latest episode

NEXT Level Chef viewers have ripped into this week's 'irritating' celebrity guest.

The brand new cooking programme aired its second instalment on Wednesday night.

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay fronts the series which sees 12 aspiring chefs face a cooking competition like no other.

With just 11 chefs remaining in the competition, this week was Italian themed.

The cooks had to tackle Italian cuisine, with the bottom two chefs facing the dreaded cook off.

Making a cameo appearance to help the hopefuls was chef Gino D'Acampo.

The 46-year-old arrived by knocking on the window of the set before making his grand entrance.

"Have you told them about the Italian week," said Gino as the contestants all gasped.

He continued: "Hello, I'm here, I'm here."

But it seems viewers at home weren't in the mood for Gino's larger than life character.

Taking to social media, one fan said: "Gino’s like a cloud. When he f**** off, it’s a great day."

Another fumed: "“I’m eeeer I’m eeeer” oh p off Gino and contestants STOP WHOOPING AND CLAPPING EVERYTHING."

"Oh No. Not Gino. He’s next level irritating," posted a third.

While a fourth tweeted: "Gino entering through a window as per usual."

However, some viewers were happy to see the former I'm A Celebrity contestant and This Morning chef.

One wrote: "Gino is hot."

"Gino is absolutely loving it as the guest chef in #NextLevelChef," said another.

Next Level Chef continues on ITV1 and ITVX.
