On Sunday's episode, Love Island legend Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu was put up against author and interiors expert Kelly Hoppen when they both landed in the bottom two.
The women were tasked with creating chocolate eclairs alongside a strawberry and champagne granita, as their fellow celebrities and professionals watched on.
They only had 50 minutes to create their dishes and seemed like disaster from the outset when both stars failed to gradually add the eggs for the choux pastry which would go on to make the body of the chocolate eclairs.
Hosts Emma Willis and Tom Allen watched on in bemusement as Ekin added cream to her mixture, and the former explained her experience in the kitchen.
"I do know something about choux pastry, and the cream does not belong in there," Emma told Tom.
Things only got worse for Ekin and Kelly as it became apparent their pastries did not seem up to scratch as they put them in the oven to cook.
For viewers watching at home, the scene was equally terrifying.
"That was like choosing between dog s*** and cat sick," wrote one fan on X, formerly Twitter as the women's dishes were served to the chefs for judgement.
Another added: "Jesus those 'eclairs' are the worst thing I've ever seen."
And a third commented: "I don't envy the chefs having to deal with those eclairs...."

Kelly ultimately won the cook-off after the judges tried both their efforts in blind tasting, which meant Ekin was sent packing.
She is the second celebrity to be booted off Cooking With The Stars after former Towie star Jess Wright was eliminated last week.
The current season is the show's fifth season and the remaining celebrities in the competition include, Jack Osbourne, the eldest son of late rocker, Ozzy Osbourne and EastEnders alum, Natalie Cassidy.
Other stars competing this year include, ex-footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips, actor and comedian Hugh Dennis and presenter Jordan North.

Prince Charles cinema looks to expand to second venue in east London
The Prince Charles cinema is planning to expand to a second site in the capital despite being locked in a battle over the future of its original location in central London. The independent cinema, which is known for showing a wide-ranging selection of cult films from across the history of cinema, has put in a bid to take over and reopen what was the Stratford Picturehouse in east London. The Prince Charles is in negotiations with Zedwell LSQ Ltd (which is owned by the developers Criterion Capital) over the future of the Leicester Square site, but wants to expand in what could be the first of several new outposts. 'Given what's happened this year, I understand how it could look like we're trying to shift operations but that's not what's happening,' said Paul Vickery, the cinema's head of programming. 'We were looking for a pre-existing venue that needed a bit of love which we could turn into a new site. Ideally, we'd want to go on to add a third or fourth space.' The Prince Charles had looked previously into taking over the Filmhouse in Edinburgh, which was forced to close in 2022 before it reopened in June this year after a refurbishment. Vickery thinks Stratford – an area that has undergone huge regeneration over the past decade, boosted by the Olympic legacy of London 2012 – could be an ideal place to open a new outpost. 'Stratford has always been a hub,' he said. 'There are plenty of students and loads of new-build properties that have sprung up recently. But it also feels like it's still trying to find its feet and figure out what it is.' The Prince Charles Cinema East would join other cultural institutions such as Soho Theatre Walthamstow, Sadler's Wells East and the V&A East Storehouse in that part of London, while the Theatre Royal Stratford East would be a nearby neighbour. The cinema has high-profile international fans, including the directors Paul Thomas Anderson, Quentin Tarantino and John Waters. It was opened as a live theatre in 1962 and taken over as a repertory cinema in 1991 with cut-price seats. When news broke that the cinema could be forced out of its original location in Leicester Square, a petition against the move generated 100,000 signatures in a single day. Vickery said: 'The response was so humbling, I knew we'd have a load of interest in helping us out but the volume of support and speed with which it spread was a surprise. 'You feel the responsibility but in the best possible way. You're not just some pokey cinema in central London, what we do means something to people.'

Pendulum review — blasting their music into outer space
There were moments during Pendulum's biggest show, headlining the 65,000-capacity Tribes Unite festival, when — with sonorous whomp and sine-wave lasers — they seemed intent on turning the Milton Keynes Bowl into a giant satellite dish to beam their new music to distant stars. Because these Australian rave-metallers are about to release Inertia, their first album in 15 years. And one thing they're clearly not going to do is keep it quiet. In a blitz of flames, lights and ear-bursting beats, they arrived with the appropriately titled Napalm, the sound of the Prodigy backing Rage Against the Machine and a fine summation of their wider impact so far. In the wake of the electronic and industrial metal innovations of Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, Enter Shikari and others, in the mid-Noughties Pendulum brought an authentic clubland sensibility to the party: electro-rock gigs that blended and flowed like DJ sets, monster riffs played on squelchy synths, soulful and melodic pop hooks lodged between pounding drum'n'bass onslaughts that felt like going ten rounds with Robocop. • Read more music reviews, interviews and guides on what to listen to next Even after a five-year hiatus after the 2010 album Immersion and a further decade making Inertia, it's a method they still revel in. Witness the frontman Rob Swire mashing the 2007 single Blood Sugar into their remix of the Prodigy's Voodoo People, or crooning and screaming through Save the Cat like a boy band singer with a succubus trying to climb out through his gullet. Weighting their 90 minutes towards the new material, Pendulum swung through the gabba metal gamut, from the hellfire mayhem of Halo to the slick superclub techno of The Island. Even cinematic soul-barers such as Encoder were eventually hit by a truck full of filthy synths, but plenty of variety poked through: Morricone brass on Propane Nightmares, dream pop textures on Colourfast, 8-bit bleeps and Tetris visuals introducing Self vs Self. Watercolour came with a kisscam worthy sway-along section which Swire called 'the closest we come to Coldplay' while, at the far end of the wholesome scale, Silent Spinner was accompanied by grainy antique film of demonic baptisms, torture implements and witches wielding pickled hands, and sounded like Depeche Mode descending a circle or two deeper. They closed with the reggae rave Tarantula, career inertia conquered. The Andromedans won't know what hit them.★★★★☆Pendulum play HERE at the Outernet, London, on Sep 5

Hamilton set to bring 'rich reward' to Plymouth
The hit musical Hamilton is set to inject about £8m to a city's economy during its five-week multi award-winning show has arrived at Theatre Royal Plymouth and boasts a 120-strong staff will be staying locally, contributing around 4,200 bed nights in nearby accommodation. One hotelier reported a rise in booking by guests travelling from further afield to stay at his B&B while attending the Jones, chair of the South West Observatory, said the show was a "rich reward" for the city, pulling in about £8m to the area. He said: "It is a huge opportunity for the South West and Plymouth, and congratulations to Theatre Royal for grabbing one of the biggest universal shows around."Hamilton has already down around $1bn (£745,575,000) turnover on its tour so far, so what it is going to bring to Plymouth is a rich reward."Mr Jones added: "Theatre Royal already does a phenomenal amount to support Plymouth's economy - roughly £40m every year." Speaking about the show, actor Billy Nevers said: "It has everything that you would expect from a musical, just with additional elements you wouldn't have seen before."We tell the story through rap, hip-hop and R&B music which is something that isn't really within the realm of musical theatre."He added: "However, we still use all the fundamental things that people recognise in a musical that makes it so incredible to watch." Ben Shearn, the owner of local cafe bar and restaurant, The Treasuary, said: "For the first few days I think we get the very keen theatre goers that are in and out of the theatre - who are here to see the show."The longer runs you then get the acts, musicians and performers who then start to explore the community by coming out to the bars or restaurants."That's why the longer runs are actually really healthy for the economy." Olive Acaster runs the Mariners guest house, a local bed and breakfast close to the city said: "I'm seeing a change in bookings - people are coming from further afield to watch."The longer that the show is running, the more opportunity they have to make time and come out to see the show."Theatre Royal Plymouth confirmed that audience members are already booked from as far as Australia, USA, Malaysia, China and Singapore to see the show.
