Gordon Ramsay was a huge hit with audiences when he appeared in the premiere of MasterChef: Back to Win on Monday night as a guest judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the 53-year-old celebrity chef was left slightly red-faced when he made a terribly awkward gaffe while praising competitor Dani Venn on her curry dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After explaining that Sri Lanka was a very special place to her because she’d met her husband on the island, Dani presented the judges with her tasting plate featuring a mud crab curry, pineapple curry and some homemade roti and sambal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Awkward!<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Awkward! Gordon Ramsay (pictured) was  left red-faced on MasterChef on Monday night  after he makes a terrible gaffe while praising competitor Dani Venn over her ‘authentic’ Sri Lankan curry<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gordon and the other judges were impressed at how authentic the dishes tasted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Dani, you blew us away with that authenticity. Whatever happens, stick close to that Sri Lankan husband of yours,’ Gordon gushed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dani then awkwardly revealed that her husband Chris Burgess wasn’t from Sri Lanka- he was from New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Yum!\u00a0After<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yum! After explaining that Sri Lanka was a very special place to her because she’d met her husband on the island, Dani presented the judges with her tasting plate. The dish featured a mud crab curry, pineapple curry and some homemade roti and sambal (pictured)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Oh, he’s not Sri Lankan… I met him in Sri Lanka… He’s a kiwi,’ she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cringeworthy moment didn’t go unnoticed by eagle-eyed Twitter fans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Oh he’s not Sri Lankan… awkies,’ one viewer Tweeted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"'Oh,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

‘Oh, he’s not Sri Lankan… I met him in Sri Lanka… He’s a kiwi’: Dani (right) was left to explain her husband Chris Burgess (left) wasn’t from Sri Lanka, but New Zealand<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another added: ‘That awkward moment when Gordon Ramsay assumes your husband’s ethnicity’.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But all was forgiven when Dani’s dish was so impressive, that Gordon went on to award her with the season’s only immunity pin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A huge advantage, the pin can be used as a ‘get out of jail free card’ if Dani finds herself in the bottom of the competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
