There have been some wild moments on Come Dine With Me over the years. Anyone remember that guy who put a whole whisk in his mouth, for one, and of course, the infamous 'You won Jane' moment.

But a recently resurfaced clip might just be one of the craziest and most controversial.

In a throwback from season 20, one contestant named as Christian Woodall from Walsall seemed to have had enough of one of his contestants, Georgina Smith.

You can watch that go down below:

Phew, let's break it down.

Georgina was vegetarian, but her dietary requirements didn't sit right with Christian.

When he first met her, he decided to inform her that he was "strictly carnivorous," and "only eats meat." And, well, you can imagine how this goes...

At Christian's dinner, the meat lover actually opted for prawn cocktail for his guests, but served Georgina a veggie alternative.

The best he could do was a plate of mozzarella and tomatoes, which you could tell he didn't make much effort with, tbh.

"It looks alright but I don't really care," Christian said. Lovely!

Still, so far, no major faux pas.

Next up came mains, and whilst he kept it meaty for his other guests, he made Georgina a pasta bake, slathered in parmesan cheese.

The problem is, as Georgina pointed out, the pasta bake actually wasn't veggie, because parmesan contains animal rennet, which is an enzyme found in the lining of calves and goats (more on that here).

Upon learning this an exasperated Christian went back into the kitchen with her plate, and told the camera: "What does the bloody girl want, maybe I should put some meat on it as well for her."

He then brought the food back to the table, and a nervous looking Georgina could be seen inspecting it, and noticing that there were still a few flakes of parm.

As a result of this, Georgina explained she wasn't going to be able to eat hers. Queue the awkward tumbleweed.

Another guest offered their dinner companion some of their roast potatoes so she didn't go hungry, and she accepted.

But little did she know that these had actually been cooked in goose fat – a fact which Christian didn't reveal until after she'd scoffed them.

Naturally, Georgina wasn't happy, even shedding a tear when she discovered she'd just eaten an animal product by accident.

But when she made her feelings known, Christian replied: "If you want to go hungry then go hungry, I don't really care."

He then added: "You're getting right on my wick to be honest. I think you've been very rude, you haven't enjoyed anything, you're too fussy to please.

"To be honest I couldn't care less whether you ate it or didn't eat it.

"I'm normal. Vegetarians are the ones that have chosen to be a vegetarian and I'm sick to the back teeth of it."

It's safe to say that Georgina was pretty furious when it came to scoring Christian and ended up with a one from his veggie guest (which we think is generous, tbh).

At the time, the internet went crazy with people criticising Christian's reaction to Georgina and her dietary requirements.

"Not impressed with how Christian is treating this Georgina. Nasty piece of sh*t #ComeDineWithMe," said one person after watching the ep.

Whilst another said: "#comedinewithme what is up with Christian the crazy meat eater...leave the lovely veggie girl alone!"

Here's hoping he's done some reflection in the time since this aired, or at least not had any more vegetarians round for tea!
