The TV show has seen its fair share of drama in the past, with huge fallouts and culinary disasters but this time viewers didn't even get as far as the starters before switching off.
The new series failed to impress with Channel 4 viewers branding the latest four contestants as 'attention seekers' and 'layabouts'.
The episode took viewers to Cambridge where they met with first host Rebecca, who then welcomed TikToker Josh mushroom farm owner Mark, wellness retreat guru Nikki and employee benefit collector Kate.
Rebecca served up braised beef cheeks and dauphinoise potatoes, bagging her 32 out of 40 but viewers at home were less than impressed with the show.
