|June 9, 2025
The French foodie spills the beans on the latest season
-
After joining the revamped judging A panel of MasterChef Australia last season, dapper French chef Jean-Christophe Novelli was an instant hit with viewers. Knowledgeable, eloquent and kind, the father of four and his fellow judges, Andy Allen, Poh Ling-Yeow and Sofia Levin, proved to be the recipe for success. Now back for the show's 17th season-featuring some of MasterChef's most familiar faces taking a shot at redemption and the $250,000 prize - Woman's Day grills the 64-year-old for all the goss.
We're so excited to have you back on MasterChef! Was it an easy decision to return?
