MasterChef viewers are concerned after Laura Sharrad continues to cook in an open bandage

She accidentally burnt her hand after picking up a hot pan full of bubbling caramel.

And on Sunday, MasterChef: Back to Win viewers were quick to voice their concerns over hygiene when finalist Laura Sharrad was forced to continue cooking in an uncovered bandage. 

‘Why doesn’t Laura have a glove over her bandage? That is disgusting,’ one viewer wrote.

‘Laura’s exposed bandage is the definition of unhygienic,’ a second wrote along with a sick emoji.

A third asked: ‘Am I the one concerned about the hygiene issue of Laura’s bandage touching people’s food?’ 

Following her injury, Laura called out for the nurse to lend assistance.

‘I am in so much pain right now, but I need to get that pork off the pan. This is the most excruciating burn I’ve ever had.’ Oh, my God. That hurts SO much,’ she said during tonight’s epic grand finale’

Laura entered the final two, along with Emelia, on Sunday’s episode of MasterChef, after Reynold Poernomo was eliminated.

The trio had faced off during a complex candy apple pressure test, created by Sepia chef and guest judge Martin Benn.

On Monday’s grand finale Laura and Emelia were tasked to prepare a three-course meal for the show’s judges and eliminated contestants.

‘That’s over 60 plates from each of you. You will have four hours until service starts. You have an open pantry, and we’re judging your menu as a whole,’ judge Melissa Leong told them ahead of the mammoth challenge.

Emelia is currently the favourite to win, and will showdown with Laura during Monday’s episode.
