Brooklyn Beckham has been slammed by celebrity chef Aldo Zilli for ‘burning bacon’ in his spaghetti carbonara.
The aspiring chef, 26, cooked up the beloved Italian dish this week and shared a step-by-step video to his Instagram – but not everyone was impressed.
Aldo had a few choice words, claiming Brooklyn had ‘jumped on the bandwagon’ and needed a masterclass after ‘burning the guanciale’.
He said: ‘Nowadays every celebrity is jumping on the cooking bandwagon.
‘Burning guanciale [bacon lardons] would cause it to become bitter, hard and make the carbonara taste terrible – maybe he needs a masterclass from Aldo Zilli! Stop changing recipes!’
Some of Brooklyn’s followers agreed and added: ‘You burnt your guanciale, made it black’; ‘What in the extremely charred pork cheek is going on here??’

Others wrote: ‘Sorry, I am Italian. Your guanciale is so burnt it looks like coal. I wouldn’t touch that dish. Knowledge and experience will teach how to cook. Hopefully! Ciao!’;
‘As an Italian.. no. That cheek is burnt’; ‘Put some water in the pan when you’re frying guanciale because of the sugars and when it evaporate, the oil will come out and it won’t look burnt. Low flame!’;
‘You burnt your lardons and I don’t think it’s good to cook spaghetti in charcoal.’
Brooklyn was forced to defend himself and commented: ‘Guanciale has a lot of sugar in that’s why it’s darker. I slow cooked it so it’s not burned.’
Meanwhile, in what could be considered an olive branch amid the ongoing family feud his dad, David, 50, liked the post.
Brooklyn and his wife Nicola, 31, have been at the centre of a rift with the rest of the family after they failed to attend any of his father’s 50th birthday celebrations in May.
But appeared to show his support when Brooklyn shared his latest recipe to Instagram.
David and Victoria, 51, have been on a summertime jaunt to St Tropez with their other children.

Brooklyn is the only Beckham child not on the getaway, having spent the week before in the same location with his wife Nicola and his in-laws.
Elsewhere, Brooklyn and Nicola looked happier than ever across the pond in New York as they marked three years of marriage by reaffirming the promises they made to each other.
The eldest Beckham son looked to be missing out on a fun-filled trip, as the other offspring made the most of their trip together in St Tropez.
Brooklyn left the south of France to return to the U.S, where he was spotted looking glum on an outing in New York with his wife and mother-in-law, Claudia, on Tuesday.
