Amy Childs has left fans appalled with her worrying and unhygienic habit in a new cooking video.
The TOWIE star, 35, took to Instagram on Thursday to share a video of herself making a chicken casserole.
But there was one part of the video that really stuck out to her fans, as they rushed to the comments to express their concern.
In the clip Amy was seen using her bare hands to marinade the chicken before immediately picking up the pepper grinder to season it ahead of cooking.
Fans worried that handling the raw chicken and then picking up the pepper grinder without washing her hands in between put her at a high risk of contamination due to the transfer of bacteria and therefore could lead to food poisoning.
Sharing the video, Amy wrote: ‘So I asked all of my followers what they want to see on my page and majority of you said cooking so here goes!

Amy has also revealed the real reason behind her extreme weight loss after calling off her wedding to her fiancé Billy Delbosq.
Addressing the weight loss and cruel trolling she’s received as a result of the weight loss in an emotional interview with OK! Magazine.
She said: ‘I’m going through so much at the minute that the weight has fallen off me.
‘I worry about my mum constantly. She’s very emotional – she thinks she’s going to have another heart attack.
‘People think I’m not eating, but I do eat. To be honest, I do feel better when I’m a bit heavier than I am at the moment.

‘There’s so much going on at the minute – it’s the result of pure stress. We’re also having renovations done in the midst of parenting four kids.’
Amy added: ‘But I’m strong, I’ve been in this industry for 15 years.
‘I’ve had lots of people concerned about me, which I completely understand, but yes, people can be so quick to judge.’
Amy also explained how she once tried using weight-loss injections 18 months ago, but it made her ‘so ill she threw up three or four times’.
