Marco Pierre White's sexist swipe at Sam Frost

He’s known as the tough-as-nails chef who once made Gordon Ramsay cry.

Now, Hell’s Kitchen Australia host Marco Pierre White has left fans shocked after taking a sexist swipe at contestant Sam Frost.

The 55-year-old chef was critiquing the Bachelorette on a salmon dish she had prepared with her sister.

After tasting it he remarked: “And you hope to keep a husband”.

Despite giggling as Marco delivered his critique, Sam immediately hit back at the chef during her piece-to-camera.

“Mate, my husband will be cooking for me, thank you very much,” she said.

But things didn’t improve for former radio host Sam who was eliminated on Monday’s show.
