Max George has hit back after being accused of cheating yet again on Celeb MasterChef.
The Wanted singer, 34, is currently taking part in the BBC cooking show, but has been accused of cheating for a second time in a week.

Max George accused of cheating on Celeb MasterChef
As well as comedian Shazia Mizra and broadcaster Terry Christian, Max was tasked with making two dishes for judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace.
Furthermore, Friday’s (August 11) episode saw Max make his own version of a Burmese curry. He also told the judges that he was taught how to make the curry in a previous round by top chefs in a restaurant in London.
In addition, the singer cooked the Burmese curry with Asian noodles and chicken.
Asked about the inspiration behind the chicken, many fans felt that Max had copied what he did during the previous challenge.
“When I went to the restaurant to work, it was a Burmese restaurant and they made something similar,” Max said.
Fan reaction
Taking to Twitter, many fans felt that Max had cheated and had created the same dish as before.
One person wrote: “So Max just cooked what he had to make at the restaurant…?”
BTW, my recipe was handed in before the restaurant gig (just so you know).
A second said: “Max copying the restaurant menu is just cheating.”
“Err isn’t that what Max cooked in the pro kitchen. Did he think we wouldn’t notice?,” another added.
However, posting on his Instagram Stories after the backlash, Max defended himself. He shared a picture of a newspaper headline calling him a cheat and said: [Bleep]me, what a tune.” Max added: “BTW, my recipe was handed in before the restaurant gig (just so you know).
Max lied on application for MasterChef
The new cheating accusation comes after Max revealed he lied on his Celebrity MasterChef application.
Furthermore, his application stated that he cooks “four times a week” but then revealed “he doesn’t cook at all”.
However, fans were confused when Max appeared to display some culinary skills.
One viewer wrote: “Can’t cook but making steak, jam and custard,” and a second asked: “Is Max George lying about not knowing how to cook?”
Max has since hit back at that, too. Posting on social media, he explained: “I’ve seen lots of food, never cooked it, come for dinner.”
