MasterChef fans rage as another contestant is ‘silenced by the lamb’ and serves undercooked meat during semi-final

MASTERCHEF fans were left raging as another contestant was ‘silenced by the lamb’ on the cooking competition.

Musician Laura Micheal was kicked off in the semi-final when she served up an uncooked portion of the dreaded meat.

Laura Michael was unsuccessful in her attempt at cooking a rack of lamb

This year’s series of the BBC show has been plagued by incidents of raw lamb, so when Laura announced she was cooking a rack of the meat, viewers immediately couldn’t believe her choice.

“Why would you do raw lamb at this stage! Laura going I’m afraid #MasterChef,” said one.

Another added: “I fear for the person who does the rack of lamb #MasterChef.”

And their fears were realised when the mum-of-two was dismissed and lost her place in Friday’s final.

Host Gregg Wallace was not impressed by her efforts

Host and judge Gregg Wallace said as he tasted the dish: “I’ve got a bit of an issue with the lamb, I’m sorry to say. This cutlet here – raw – I would send back.”

After she was judged, Laura admitted she was “frustrated”.

She said: “This is the first mistake I’ve made really though – I’m hoping they take that into account.”

But it wasn’t to be and the 46-year-old was booted off, leaving Alexina Anatole, Tom Rhodes and Mike Tomkins going on to battle it out in the final.

Laura reflected: “I feel fine, you know, I knew I had made a mistake today.

“It’s been a complete once-in-a lifetime experience, it’s been amazing, I’ve learnt so much about food.

“I’m definitely a different cook now – and that’s all I wanted.”

Fans hit Twitter in their droves to berate Laura’s lamb.


One said: “#MasterChef Why can’t these people cook meat?!”

Another quipped: “Another one Silenced by the Lamb #MasterChef”

A third commented: “What have this lot got against cooking lamb? #MasterChef”

“Lamb …the downfall of many a contestant on here #Masterchef,” said a fourth.
