Fans were left very unimpressed by episode three’s opening challenge.

The six remaining stars cooked Roast Beef and Yorkshire Puddings – by using an air fryer .

One viewer wrote on X: “Banging stuff in an air fryer isn’t cooking.#cookingwiththestars.”

Another added: “Bring on the battle of the Air fryers #CookingWithTheStars.”

A third penned: “F*****g air frying? Are you joking.”

While a fourth chimed in: “Nope, #cookingwiththestars I don’t think roast beef & Yorkshire pudding is an air fryer thing.

How are you going to get a decent gravy?

After further challenges, Hugh Dennis and Shaun Wright-Phillips ended up in the bottom two.

Outnumbered star Hugh, 63, was eliminated after receiving less votes from the judges.

Last week, Love Island  legend  Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu  faced 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.

However, both stars failed to gradually add the eggs for the choux pastry which would go on to make the body of the chocolate eclairs.

“That was like choosing between dog s*** and cat sick,” wrote one fan on X,

Another added: “Jesus those ‘eclairs’ are the worst thing I’ve ever seen.”

A third commented: “I don’t envy the chefs having to deal with those eclairs….”

Love Island star Ekin-Su became the second celeb eliminated from the competition.

Cooking With The Stars airs on ITV1 and ITVX .
