Lindsey, an aspiring chef from Leicester, began quivering as she was faced with the 52-year-old foodie.
“I’m very competitive, not with other people, but myself,” she told viewers.
Lindsey turned red as soon as Gregg bowled over to examine her lamb with fennel and garlic mashed potato and cauliflower cheese; until his presence distracted the cook from the task at hand.
Batting her eyelashes, Lindsey gasped: “That’s what happens you see when I get distracted.”
Clearly unimpressed, Gregg asked: “Are you ok? You look slightly nervous.”
“I only get nervous around good looking men,” she sighed, which, in turn, was met with a downpour of scathing tweets from MasterChef viewers.
“Oh God, the flirting is PAINFUL,” moaned one horrified audience member, as another agreed: “‘I only get nervous around good looking men’ you need a f**king eye test love #Masterchef.”
A third cried: “Oh Lindsey! Good grief (I'm only nervous around good looking men) Don't let us down like that,” which was followed by: “I only get nervous around good looking men' cringe!
Alright love, calm yourself.”
This particularly disturbed critic fumed: “#masterchef 'I only get distracted around good looking men'. Why are you distracted then?”
Though, others commended the amateur cook for her valiant efforts: “Yes! I already want flirt Lindsey to triumph. #MasterChef,” beckoned one fan, while one more teased: “That's it Lindsey,
if you're shit at cooking, just flirt outrageously with Gregg with 2 Gs... while your food burns!”
Regardless, Gregg was won over by the housewife’s impressive take on a roast dinner and Lindsey sailed straight through the next round.
