The jury's still out on ITV's new show BBQ Champ but you can't deny the innuendos provided lots of entertainment on Friday (July 31).
"I can't wait for Adam to taste my sauce" and many a reference to a sausage were among some classics on the show, presented by Myleene Klass and judged by Adam Richman and Mark Blatchford.
And Twitter loved it.
"My first time mincing" Some great lines on #BBQChamp @AdamRichman

Scott Mill's Twitter notifications were probably off the scale during tonight's show:
@scott_mills are you watching BBQ Champ? Innuendo Bingo in the bag this week.
— Rebecca Jakes (@RebeccaJakes) July 31, 2015
#BBQChamp Adam chows down on Duncan's sausage. This is a godsend for Innuendo Bingo.
— Tony Bianchi (@Voltamax2020) July 31, 2015
And they just kept coming:
@itvbbqchamp "There's no garlic in my box". More innuendo than a Spanish proctologist.

ITV is truly spoiling us with another brand new TV format hitting our screens tonight (Friday, July 31) off the back of last night's Flockstars.
Tonight was the turn of BBQ Champ, another 'interesting' format which Twitter had many a view on:
BBQ Champ: What did you think of ITV's new cooking show?
Great British BBQ Rip Off #BBQChamp

Thought ITV had reaches new depths last night with sheep dogs... But BBQ prime time Friday night ? seriously ??? #BBQChamp #Flockstars

BBQ Champ began tonight with high-stakes grilling and, let's be honest, plenty of innuendo ("I can't wait for Adam to taste my sauce"; anything anyone said about sausages).
Myleene Klass was on hand to host, while judges Adam Richman and Mark Blatchford handed out both praise and criticism about everything from raw chicken to the baffling decision to cook peach mash.
There were tears, barbecue sauce with added wood chips (yummy) and agonising elimination decisions, but what did you think about the whole thing?
Will you be watching again? Was it a tasty treat or a limp wet weekend? Did you like the judges and Myleene? Are you backing any of the contestants? Do you have the skills for the grills? Let us know by voting in our poll and leaving your comments below...

BBQ Champ star Adam Richman has revealed that the contestants are so desperate to win that some of them may play some dirty tricks.
Speaking at his fellow judge Mark Blatchford's London restaurant, Richman confirmed that the eight hopefuls taking part all want to win, "without question".
"In terms of sabotage, the lines get a little fuzzy," he revealed. "There are certain mistakes that are made – one competitor says, 'Can we keep this area just for vegetables, I'm going to do a bunch of side dishes'. All of a sudden someone who you saw hear that request and agree to it shortly thereafter puts pork there.
"Someone else tells another competitor, 'Can you set this temperature for me?' The guy goes, 'Sure', and sets it to that at Fahrenheit when he meant Centigrade. The guy muses to camera, 'I think it might just have been a miscommunication but...

Myleene Klass will test out her BBQ expertise in ITV's upcoming summer series.
Man v Food star Adam Richman will feature in BBQ Champ, which sees a team of ten contenders competing against each other to become the ultimate master of the skewer.
British chef and restaurateur Mark Blatchford has also signed up to be a judge alongside Richman.
Klass has previously hosted Popstar to Operastar and The One Show, but this is her first food-related entertainment show.
