The superstar offspring chatted to close family friend James Corden on the hit show - in a slot typically saved for esteemed stars with talents under their belt - during which he showcased his frequently-ridiculed cooking skills.  

He shared details of his proposal to Nicola Peltz before challenging the fellow Brit, who has been close friends with his footballer dad for more than a decade, to a cook off - which viewers branded 'cringy' and 'the definition of privilege'. 

His appearance on the show was also slammed by several professional chefs who called attention to Brooklyn's lack of training and expertise.

But while the hosts were quick to praise his simple creation, viewers were up in arms over the decision to feature such an easy-to-assemble dish, with many branding the clip 'embarrassing' and 'painful'.

Several slammed the Today show for featuring Brooklyn when there are so many 'talented' and 'qualified' chefs struggling for work as a result of the pandemic.
