The Food Network in the US has dropped the most recent season of Worst Cooks In America after its winner was charged with murdering a child.

Ariel Robinson, 29, and her husband Jerry Robinson, 34, were charged with the horrific crime by police in South Carolina on Tuesday following the death of their three-year-old adopted daughter.

An autopsy concluded that the child had died as a result of "multiple blunt force injuries" on January 14.

Worst Cooks In America sees bad cooks mentored by celebrity chefs and Robinson was named the winner of the $25,000 prize in the 20th season of the show, which was broadcast last summer.

According to Deadline, the season in question has now been removed from Food Network's website, Discovery+, Hulu and YouTube.

The network has yet to comment on Robinson's arrest.
