MasterChef Australia got a lot of publicity recently, and it all happened after a video of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, walking into the kitchen surfaced on social media.
For those not in the know about what 2026 will bring, the whole thing will be judged by Andy Allen, Poh Ling Yew, Sophia Levin and Jean-Christophe Novelli and recently Poh also brought to bear his experience of working with the royal for this guest role during his visit Down Under with Prince Harry.
The entire thing has been shared with 10 News+ and the judge has revealed something personal about Shahi. According to Poh, “The Duchess was very clear from the beginning about getting to know the contestants better.”
“And she said, ‘You know, you know these people, but I don’t. So I’d really like to see some stories and food that will show us their personalities.'”
Another judge Sophia Levin also came forward and said, “You know, she’s a home cook, and she’s a gardener herself. So when you think about it, we’re connecting more and more with our food.”
