Meghan Markle has been slammed for her appearance on one of the world's most popular food programmes. The Duchess of Sussex made a guest appearance as a judge on the 18th series of Masterchef Australia on Sunday in Aus set to be shown later this year in the UK , where competitors were tasked with transforming a basic ingredient into a creation "fit for a duchess".

The episode was recorded during Meghan and Harry's week-long visit to Australia in April. Meghan featured alongside MasterChef Australia judges Poh Ling Yeow, Sofia Levin and Jean-Christophe Novelli.

And while the show is known for having top chefs and food-related guests on from around the world like Gordon Ramsey, Jamie Oliver, Rick Stein and more Meghan's appearance has gone down like a lead balloon.

One chef, Jameson Stocks, has told The News International that he was left questioning why she was even there in the first place.

He said: When it comes to cooking, she contributes absolutely nothing its all complete nonsense. Unless the contestants are somehow inspired by her sliced fruit, I honestly cant understand why shes there.

She has absolutely zero credentials to be even near a stove never mind Masterchef Masterchef is a program to inspire the next generation or inspire people to do better showcase themselves through food - shes about as inspiring as a out of date chicken.

He also launched a scathing attack on Meghan's Netflix showIf her show has been nominated for an Emmy, Id hate to see the competition. It is among the biggest loads of nonsense Netflix has ever produced so embarrassing that its hard to believe they would pay her for it. Its a horrendous, slow, lethargic, egotistical pile of trash.

During the appearance, Meghan insisted that they use her non-Royal name, which was a direct response to issues suffered during their Royal tour.

According to several reports, Meghan was allegedly sensitive to claims that her Australian tour with Prince Harry back in April was seen as cashing in on their royal links.

She was reportedly frustrated with producers when she was described as royalty in a promo for Australia's wildly popular reality TV show.

"Meghan and her team had 'specifically' made clear they did not want the word 'royal' used', a source said at the time the promo was released, reports The Daily Mail.

After she introduced herself as "Meghan" on Sunday night's show, she went on to gush about her love of Australia having first visited the country with her husband Prince Harry eight years ago.
