Emergency Halts 'Mälzers Meisterklasse' Shoot After Contestant Suffers Severe Wrist Cut

The incident occurs in the launch episode of the new VOX cooking contest, now on RTL+ with a VOX premiere set for 4 November.

Overview

  • Contestant Sunil Prajapati, 33, slipped while halving cabbage and cut his wrist, prompting Tim Mälzer to stop the shoot and call for paramedics.
  • Mälzer warned the wound could involve an artery and described it as one of the worst kitchen cut injuries he has seen.
  • Production was interrupted as Prajapati was taken to hospital, and he later appeared bandaged expressing sadness about leaving the show.
  • According to Bild, he underwent surgery and is reportedly doing better, a medical update cited single‑source by multiple outlets.
  • Mälzer says Prajapati will not return to the competition; the six‑episode series features 12 talents competing for €50,000 and a future duel with him, with eliminations decided by three‑star chef Jan Hartwig.
