David hangs up during radio interview after MKR shocker

David and Corinne, who scored just 27/100 in last night's competition

The “Captain” is a bit of a sore loser — which is unfortunate when you’re one of My Kitchen Rules’ lowest scoring contestants in the game. Ever.

Queensland contestant David Kirk hung up on Nova FM hosts Fitzy and Wippa this morning after he and partner Corinne Wieland scored just 27 points out of 100 in last night’s second-last instant restaurant round.

“Sorry, sorry, I’m on TV, I have to go, I’m really sorry…” David said on-air.

“What do you mean Dave? You’re cooking is as bad as your radio interviews,” host Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli said.

It was unclear from the conversation if Kirk was about to go on television or watch a recap of last night’s disaster.

Rather than redeeming themselves, lovebirds David and Corinne earned the lowest instant restaurant score in the show’s history, scoring mostly ones and twos from the other teams.

Far from the promised “love on a plate”, the entree of corn soup with grilled tiger prawns and avocado was labelled “baby food” by Manu.

Pete complained the soup was thick and gluggy, even tipping his plate upside down to demonstrate that a soup dish should not defy gravity.

Pork medallions with cauliflower puree, green beans and mushroom sauce followed for main but was equally disappointing around the table. “That was probably the worst dish I’ve had in the competition to date,” WA contestant Chloe said.

For dessert, Corinne’s chocolate cake that was actually a flan but also a panna cotta didn’t impress gate crasher Anna, or anyone else really.

“If I was at home, I would have spat it in my napkin,” she said.

Anna and mum Kathy will be the last team to compete in the instant restaurant round on Tuesday night. The pair has established their own competitive streak by strongly critiquing the other teams since they joined the competition.
