MasterChef fans are totally convinced the team are having a secret laugh by fashioning cooking items into the shape of genitalia.

The latest instalment of The Professionals drew to a close earlier this week after a nail-biting competition that saw top chefs whip up delicious dishes.

Nikita Pathakji was eventually crowned winner of the 2022 edition of the BBC cooking series, after impressing Michelin-starred Marcus Wareing, acclaimed chef Anna Haugh, and seasoned judge Gregg Wallace.

But as well as being blown away by the 25-year-old’s efforts as she created an innovative dinner at the five-star Lanesborough Hotel in London, viewers have also been taken by another unusual feature of the show.

On TikTok, a theory known as the ‘c*** and ball’ conspiracy has emerged, which has been favorited nearly 100,000 times at the time of writing.

Cooking fans claim a bit of mischief is happening behind the scenes, with producers deliberately staging ingredients into the shape of genitalia.

Eyebrow-raising foodstuffs in the background include a courgette positioned behind two lemons, two eggs placed behind a stick of rhubarb and two limes set in front of a jar of stock – you get the picture.

One BBC watcher commented: ‘Man is onto something. This might be the single most important conspiracy of our time.’

‘Plot twist: the owner of the acc works on the set and Is the ones doing it,’ another remarked, while a social media account stated: ‘I’m convinced.’

Many others also threw their support behind the theory, branding it ‘hilarious’ and suggesting who may be behind the rude imagery.

A viewer believed it could be a camera operator ‘trying to have some fun’, while a TikTok account quipped: ‘Someone’s getting fired after these videos.’

Do you think they are deliberate or just a massive coincidence?
