Yet after just one season of yucking and yumming aspiring chefs’ dishes, the rumour mill suggested the newly comprised panel may not return.
Per Daily Mail Australia, MasterChef‘s original judges Gary Mehigan, George Calombaris and Matt Preston — who left the series in 2019 — would return to their post in the 2025 series.
However, a spokesperson for Channel 10 has since rubbished these claims.

Who are the MasterChef Australia 2025 judges?
The network confirmed to the outlet that Andy, Poh, Sofia and Jean-Christophe will certainly be back for MasterChef 2025.
“Judges Andy Allen, Poh Ling Yeow, Sofia Levin and Jean-Christophe Novelli will all be returning to the MasterChef Australia kitchen in 2025 to serve up another delicious season of Australia’s favourite cooking show,” they told Daily Mail.
It comes after sources told Woman’s Daythat Sofia has knocked the socks off cast and crew in her judging role.

“You can see they have real chemistry,” they said of the food critic and Andy, who won the show back in 2012. “Casting has a lot to do with making these judges pop on camera.
“The long days were hard but Sofia made everything fun for cast and crew.”
And we have to agree — she’s eggcellent!
Watch MasterChef Australia from Sunday – Wednesday on Channel 10 and 10 Play.
If you’re a MasterChef fan, you might have noticed a glaring hole in the TV schedule where the show normally sits on Monday, June 3rd, however, that gap has made room for an extra episode on Thursday, June 6th.
There was no MC episode in the Monday spot because Channel 10 broadcasted the Matildas v China AFC Women’s Asian Cup at that time instead.
However, we won’t be missing out on a MasterChef episode this week, as there will be one coming out on Thursday.

Who’s tipped to win MasterChef 2024?
MasterChef Australia is in its sixteenth season and while there are a number of contestants bringing the heat, betting odds indicate that the winner has already leaked.
There’s one front clear runner and her name may not come as too much of a surprise to viewers.
Nat Thaipun, who won the Immunity Pin in the first challenge of the season, is tipped to take out the entire competition.
At the time of writing, Nat has odds of $1.50, the lowest return of any contestants, meaning that the most amount of money has been bet on her to win.
Technically, betting odds cannot be tied to information about the show, however, in the past they’ve given a good indication of who will win.

The Summit 2024 finalists Mat Rogers, Charlotte Shelton and Simmone Jade Mackinnon faced one last twist after being crowned the winners of season two.
The June 4 season finale saw the trio, along with Trisha Lindgren, trekking towards the top of a mountain on New Zealand’s South Island, carrying a total of $580,000 in their backpacks. Y’know, no biggie!
However, before the final ascent, Australian Survivor star Mat culled Trisha from the group, sending her packing and forfeiting the $53,000 she was carrying with her.
As such, the final three were chuffed to reach the top after a gruelling 15-day trek, under the assumption that — like in the inaugural season — the remaining $536k would be evenly divided among them.
Oh, how wrong they were.
The Summit 2024 host Jai Courtney reveals massive twist
Mat, Charlotte and Simmone’s mountaintop celebrations were short-lived, withThe Summit host Jai Courtney exposing one last twist.
The Mountain’s Keeper’s helicopter appeared, dropping a final yellow bag that awarded nurse Charlotte the right to decide how the cash prize would be divided.
Charlotte, Mat and Simmone. Nine.
The 12 previously eliminated players then formed a “jury” in which they could weigh in on how the 35-year-old opted to split the money.
Some contestants urged her to divide the cash equally. However, others suggested she be greedy and keep the pool for herself.
How did Charlotte Shelton choose to divide The Summit 2024‘s prize money?
Charlotte eventually decided to award Simmone and Mat with $100,000 each.
For those playing at home, that left the New South Wales local with a whopping $336,000.
Following her massive payday, Charlotte said she believes she’s proven that “ability truly comes from the heart”.
Charlotte. Nine.
“That with determination, humour and a few tears, anything is possible,” she admitted.
“I took the first step towards that peak with the incredible support of my family, friends and partner, and also the support of those on the mountain who believed in me, Olympia[Valance], Lochie[Dornauf], Rosi[Buerckner], Mat and Taylor[Reid].”
How do The Summit 2024 finalists plan to use their winnings?
As for her newfound riches, Charlotte said her winnings will give her the chance to support her family better than she ever could have hoped.
“The prize money will allow me to create security for myself and my family, something I didn’t think would ever be possible as a public healthcare worker,” she said. “Representation matters. This was for all the nubs out there. You can do it!”
Meanwhile, Simmone told Ninethat she was “gutted” to pocket such a small portion of the prize.
However, she confessed she was still “very grateful” as the money would allow her to pay off her debts.
Simmone. Nine.
As for Mat — he’s keen to take his “amazing wife” on a trip to New York to visit her sister.
“She deserves a break,” he confessed, adding that he’ll also “save some [money] for a rainy day”.
After a successful stint hosting this year’s season of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! alongside Julia Morris, Robert Irwin has his sights set on a new reality TV challenge.

“I can wrangle crocs, but can I Paso Doble?” Robert joked. “It’d be really fun.”
He added that if he ever joined the show, he’d hope to be paired with professional dancer and TikTok star Rylee Arnold, who competed with fellow Aussie Harry Jowsey last season.
“I’d want to do Dancing With The Stars with Rylee because she’s awesome. That’s been the big discussion,” he remarked. “Let’s manifest doing Dancing With The Stars!“

Dancing With The Stars US star Rylee Arnold reveals she wants Robert Irwin to join to show
In what seems like fate, Rylee has also expressed her desire to dance with Robert in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight.
“Robert Irwin, imagine,” she gushed to the publication. “‘Cos his sister Bindi was on the show and I remember watching his sister on the show when I was eight years old, and I was like ‘Robert’s like my age.’ I was like, ‘Please he has to be on the show at least one day for me’.”
Fingers crossed!
Dancing with the Stars US dancer Rylee Arnold is keen for Robert to come on board the reality series. Instagram
Would Robert Irwin ever compete in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!?
While Robert is eager to hit the DF, he has no plans to compete on I’m A Celebrity himself, despite occasionally feeling jealous of the contestants’ life-changing experiences.
“When they were doing certain trials and challenges, part of me would go, ‘I really want to get in there’,” he recalled. “But eating trials are a no-go, that will never happen. I would rather sit on the couch eating my Twisties watching everyone doing the eating trials, I’m not going in there.”
For now, let’s hope we can one day look forward to seeing Robert’s fancy footwork on Dancing With The Stars US – and perhaps a friendly dance-off with sister Bindi!
We’ve got a text and it says that Callum Hole could return to Love Island Australia in 2024, but it won’t be as a contestant.
Fans absolutely fell in love with the Welsh larrikin when he appeared as a bombshell on season four of Love Island Australia, which led him to star in the series’ international spin-off Love Island Games in 2022.
Now, according to Yahoo Lifestyle, Channel Nine is keen to capitalise on his meteoric rise to fame by signing him onto Love Island Australia 2024.
What will Callum Hole’s role be on Love Island Australia 2024?
A source told the outlet that Nine “has not yet worked out what capacity” Callum would be involved in Love Island Australia‘s sixth season.
“But the idea is being workshopped and it would be a waste not to fit him into the formal, especially off the back of his popularity with I’m a Celebrity,” they explained.
The insider said the reality star’s involvement will likely be a smaller role than long-time host Sophie Monk, who recently penned a deal to return as host this year.

Callum Hole is also in talks to appear on two other iconic reality shows
The source also dished that Channel Nine is “working around Callum’s schedule on two other shows he is in discussions to appear on”. God, where does he find the time?!
“Callum is hot property amongst multiple networks and at this point,” they told the outlet.
“He is on the list of every streaming platform and free-to-air network, who are all massively clambering for his services.”
Per Yahoo Lifestyle, the two programmes Callum is in talks to appear on are Netflix‘s Too Hot To Handle and the upcoming Paramount+ series, Aussie Shore.
He’s booked and busy, and we can’t wait to watch!

Farmer Wants a Wife Australia 2024‘s Anna Wilson has responded to rumours that she’s bound for a spin-off series after failing to find love on the dating show.
The 28-year-old may not have been Farmer Dustin‘s final pick, coming in as runner-up to Sophie Trethowan, but Anna certainly won fans’ hearts with her down-to-earth persona.
As such, it’s no surprise that FWAWviewers are clamouring for the midwife to get a second shot at love.
Farmer Dustin and Sophie. Seven.
“Hear me out, let’s get a spin-off where Country Town Wants a Midwife,” one keen fan wrote on Reddit.
“They bring her around to [agriculture] shows in small towns where they bring out their top crop of eligible bachelors, the CWA do their pitch, hospital staff show her a good time, and even real estate agents show her what her new home could look like.”
Um, yes please! We’re loving this The Bachelorette/FWAW/Selling Sunset hybrid idea!
The netizen added that the spin-off could also feature other popular suitors who left the show single, otherwise “just make it the Anna show since she’s all they need”.
“Channel 7 – are you here and reading this?”
Farmer Wants a Wife Australia fans weigh in on spin-off series idea
Several other FWAWdie-hards were quick to comment that they were “all for this idea” of producing a spin-off featuring Anna because she’s “just too good to fade into obscurity”.
Meanwhile, some suggested that Anna be cast as The Bachelorette or a midwife-specific series.
“I think a new format, new producers, and make it more of a community thing rather than a harem competition,” one viewer penned. “But while they’re at it they can/should show off the town’s dating prospects.”
Anna Wilson reveals she’s “overwhelmed” by her popularity post-Farmer Wants a Wife
Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle, Anna confessed to seeing the Reddit thread about her potentially getting her own show.
“It’s too funny!” she admitted. “I can’t believe the response I’ve had.
“Everyone has sent me thousands of kind and beautiful messages and I’m feeling quite overwhelmed about it all.”
Anna. Instagram.
While she’s flattered, Anna broke the news that she’s not planning on returning to reality TV anytime soon.
“At the end of the day, I am just a midwife living in a small country town who signed up to a show in the hopes of finding a husband and absolutely nothing else,” she said.
“I didn’t get the husband, so I think I’m just going to slip back into my ordinary little life.”
Dream Home’sLara and Peter are the definition of opposites attract.
This Sydney couple, who describe themselves as a “typical fiery Italian and an Aussie bogan,” are putting everything on the line to transform their dated 1960s red brick home into the coastal, Mediterranean-inspired abode of their dreams.
Lara, a wedding florist, and Peter, an electrician, are no strangers to hard work—they often put in seven-day weeks to support their family.
The couple worries that their renovation goals may be slipping out of reach due to rising interest rates and building costs – but these two are ready to fight for the Dream Home grand prize.
Here’s everything we know about Dream Home stars Lara and Peter.
Lara and Peter’s 12-year marriage is full of love, laughter, and plenty of good-natured bickering. Lara jokes that her main form of communication is yelling, but it’s clear this “loved-up pair” are truly best mates.
The couple have two children together, 10-year-old Leo and 7-year-old Mia, and have sacrificed precious family time in order to work long hours and keep their heads above water financially.
Lara and Peter’s Dream Home
The pair’s Belrose house is tired, dull and dated, but they envision transforming it into a bright, airy coastal haven with a Mediterranean twist. The couple adores light timbers, lush greenery, and crisp white walls.
Their top renovation priority is creating an open-plan entertaining space centred around a large kitchen—perfect for big, boisterous family gatherings.
While Lara, with her design background, will no doubt have plenty of ideas for their Dream Home renovation, Peter is equally passionate about the project and his electrical expertise is sure to come in handy!
Watch Dream Home on Sundays at 7pm and Mondays – Tuesdays at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
After harbouring what might be her worst-kept secret, Abbie Chatfield has finally hard-launched her boyfriend, Peking Duk frontman Adam Hyde, albeit with a serious health warning.
In recent months, the former The Masked Singer Australiapanellist has been breadcrumbing fans with some not-so-subtle hints about her new relationship, which she previously confessed makes her “cry every day” with happiness.
Now, just a few short weeks after sharing a spicy “semi soft launch” on the ‘gram, Abbie officially debuted her and Adam’s relationship in the June 4 episode of her It’s A Lot podcast.
“We’re so in love and we love talking about it,” the FBOY Island Australia host told listeners, revealing the duo first met when she interviewed Adam for her now-defunct radio show, Hot Nights with Abbie Chatfieldin 2022.
While their initial attraction was ever-present, it took some time before the pair embarked on what Abbie dubbed “the best date of [her] life”.
“I was so anxious, I was like, ‘I don’t know if I have enough things to talk to this person about’,” she recalled.
“But we had this really good date, and it was actually still the best date of my life.” Adam agreed that the date was “incredible”, likening it to “something out of a fairytale”. Aw!
Abbie, who first rose to fame on The Bachelor Australia 2019, shared that her bae makes her feel “safe and calm all the time”.
“Not only are we so in love, but we also have a really healthy relationship,” she confessed. And honestly, what more could you want?!

Abbie Chatfield’s boyfriend Adam Hyde reveals recent cancer diagnosis
While the two-part tell-all episode of It’s A Lot was filled with a sh*t-ton of love and laughter, Adam also revealed that he was recently diagnosed with skin cancer.
The musician, who also performs as a solo artist under the stage name Keli Holiday, said he received a call from Australian Skin Cancer Clinics about the condition while he was in LA.
“I hadn’t been given the results [from a recent skin check] so I was confused. And I thought it was serious and it was melanoma,” he said.
“[The doctor] said I have a double cancer in my neck, he used those exact words.”

Adam Hyde says he’s undergoing a “full surgical treatment” to remove “double cancer”
Clarifying that his diagnosis is “apparently not melanoma”, Adam said he is “going to get the full surgical treatment done” to remove the cancer.
“I’ve got moles all over my body. I spent too much time in the sun during my youth so it’s important to get your skin checked,” he urged listeners.
Despite Adam’s health scare, he confirmed that he and Abbie have been having “a really f**king good time”.
“When we’re together and our phones are away, or when Australia’s asleep, we’ve been having fun,” Abbie dished.
Married At First Sight’s Ollie Skelton has hard launched his relationship with his new girlfriend, and the love birds have dropped some very big news.
After a two-month hiatus from his podcast, Tosser, Ollie dropped a new episode on Sunday introducing his new partner Nadia Marvin.
“There’s been a lot of noise, a lot barking, a lot shouting regarding… my new relationship,” Ollie began,” Ollie said during the episode, which was titled Meet Nadia.
Ollie and Nadia explained that they met through Ollie’s producer, who was Nadia’s roommate.
“We’ve essentially been inseparable ever since,” Ollie said.

Ollie and Nadia’s first date
Nadia revealed that she was intrigued by Ollie after her housemate suggested that they meet up.
“I was single and seen a bit of Ollie on TikTok,” revealed Nadia.
“You sent me a DM and we met [at a pub] in Surry Hills,” Ollie added.
The former MAFS groom gushed about the strong feelings had for Nadia as soon as he met her.
“I remember thinking, ‘Oh my gosh’ – you know when you play skip rope in Year 7, you’ve got two ropes and you just jump in and you’re skipping?
“That’s what it felt as soon we met, it felt like I’d known you for so long,” he said.

Ollie and Nadia are moving in together
The couple has basically been inseparable ever since, and revealed during the podcast episode that they were moving in together.
“Ever since that Wednesday, you’ve been I would say, living with me,” laughed Nadia, referring to their first date.
“Yes, soon to be, I’m moving in,” he revealed.
“We just didn’t want to leave each other,” Ollie continued. “I think the biggest thing about this whole thing is how strong these feelings are.”
Ollie addressed his break up from Tahnee
Ollie found fame after marrying Tahnee on Married at First Sight Australia 2023. The pair were one of the few couples to make it through the experiment together and split after 16 months together.
Tahnee and Ollie. Nine.
Despite their relatively recent breakup, Ollie made it clear that he is well and truly over his ex.
“I understand the perception of this being ‘quick’. The reality is Tahnee and I broke up last November,” he began.
“Regarding Nadia, I have never felt this way about a person. Truly. That’s not a gloat, but rather acknowledging that everyone moves at their own pace and everyone’s story is different too.
“I’m so happy and I hope you guys can support that but if you can’t that’s OK too,” he concluded.
Fans of Farmer Wants a Wife Australia can’t seem to get enough of the drama, however, a former producer fears the “in-fighting” on the show is what’s deterring women from applying for future seasons.
In FWAW’s early days, viewers fell in love with the hit dating series’ wholesome nature as they watched unlucky-in-love farmers finally get their happily-ever-afters.
Farmer Wants a Wife Couples. Instagram.
While the uplifting series has spawned nine marriages and 21 kids over its 13 seasons, it got muddied somewhere along the way with a whole lotta drama. And, according to an ex-producer, this might just be Farmer Wants a Wife’s downfall.
“Farmer Wants a Wife was widely popular because it was less dramatic and I know for a fact we used to be more focused on finding these farmers an actual wife,” the producer told Yahoo Lifestyle.
“I fear the algorithm is going to be out wack with attracting the right sort of woman who have most likely been turned off the idea of applying.”
The anonymous producer also confessed that they believe FWAW has fallen into the trap of casting wannabe influencers á la Married at First Sight Australia.
“We know that these reality-shows have a way of mimicking trends. MAFS is a spiral of attracting influencers and that is a real problem for their longevity,” they told the outlet.
Adding that FWAW “should have stayed in its lane” and only cast gals who were genuinely on the hunt for Mr Right, the source said they hope the next season goes back to its roots.
“Other shows are already doing that in-fighting and conflict,” the producer said. “Here’s hoping they go for genuine love stories this time around. As I fear the show won’t survive another series like the last.
“Let’s hope they haven’t broken the show.”
Cayla. Seven.
Casting is already underway for Farmer Wants a Wife 2025
While it may still seem we’re still knee-deep in drama from FWAW 2024, word on the street is that Channel Seven is already on the hunt for its next crop of farmers.
As reported in May, the network has put the call out for “single farmers” and potential suitors hoping to find a bae on Farmer Wants a Wife 2025, which will once again be hosted by Sam Armytage.
Fingers crossed the next season has a better success rate!

The fourth episode of Channel 7’s Dream Home delivered the much-anticipated first room reveals. Seven
Brad and Mel’s Heritage-Listed Home
Living Room
Jonny and Hannahtackled the living room, a significant space that had to be constructed from the ground up in the new extension. The judges were instantly impressed.
Simon exclaimed “Wow” upon entering the room, noting the high ceilings, curved fireplace, and large L-shaped couch.
Lana echoed the sentiment, saying, “Without it being the same address, I wouldn’t believe this is the same home.”
The transformation was dramatic – and it set a high bar for the rest of the house.

Kid’s Bedrooms
The judges then moved to the bedroom of Brad and Mel’s son. Jonny and Hannah created a bed ‘stage’ for the budding musician, complemented by a green built-in wardrobe and desk with an archway feature.
While the design received praise, Lana found the small floating side table reminiscent of an “aeroplane tray table.”
The second kid’s bedroom, designed by Taeler and Ellie, included a controversial “secret door” to the bathroom.
The judges admired the salvaged ceiling rose but felt the room’s neutral tones were too mature for a 16-year-old, with Lana commenting, “I have a 16-year-old, and this feels too mature.”

Main Bathroom
The bathroom, also by Taeler and Ellie, featured a modern design with a double vanity that gave the room a spacious feel.
However, practical concerns arose regarding the bathroom’s shared access and the secret door.
Lana praised the overall design but expressed doubts about its functionality for a family of six.

Kitchen and Dining Room
Jacinta and Jordan’s kitchen was another standout, with green and lilac cabinetry and a large island bench. Despite some criticism for the colour choice, the layout and flow received approval.
The dining room, however, was less successful, with the judges comparing it to a “boardroom” and suggesting it lacked warmth.

The curved stone feature on the island bench and the invisible cooktop were particular highlights.
Simon praised the luxurious feel, and Rosie commended the detailed workmanship. The hidden butler’s pantry also received accolades for its practicality and storage.
Rhys and Liam’s ultra-modern kitchen stunned the judges. Seven
Living Room and Guest Bedroom
Peter and Lara’s living room and guest bedroom faced mixed reviews.
While the living room’s freestanding fireplace and feature walls impressed initially, the space felt cramped due to losing two meters to the kitchen.
Rosie described the room as a “hot mess” due to the overwhelming design elements. The guest bedroom, despite its beige palette, was considered expensive-looking by Simon, although Lana’s restyling of the bed indicated it could have been taken up a level.

Bathroom
Brad and Mel’s bathroom, transformed from a dated 70s style, featured modern elements like a fluted bathtub and skylight. However, the judges felt it looked somewhat outdated for a contemporary renovation.

Jordan and Jacinta’s relationship
Jordan and Jacinta’s relationship is a case of opposites attract.

Meanwhile, Jacinta is “loud, bubbly and assertive”.
“She’ll call a spade a spade as she brings her big design ideas to life — and she says she won’t take no for an answer,” her bio reads.
Jacinta and Jordan’s house
Jacinta and Jordan handed over their keys to Channel 7, and they’ll be receiving a house back that’s been fully renovated by their fellow competitors.

The house is completely run down, and, prior to Dream Home, the couple and their daughters Amelia, five, and Olivia, two, have had to live in Jacinta’s grandparents one bedroom granny flat in order to save enough money for their renovations.
Jacinta and Jordan are hoping that their fellow home renovators will use wooden floors, crisp white walls and herringbone bathroom tiles in their space.
And, with a background in construction, Jacinta will likely have high expectations.
“I grew up around construction as most of my family are tradies,” she told Women’s Weekly. “I always loved taking part in any renovation project anyone around me had.”

Are Farmer Todd and Daisy still together?
Todd and Daisy are still together.. At the Reunion, the couple revealed that Daisy had moved to Todd’s farm, and that things were going swimmingly between them.
There was even talk of a ring!
“He took me to the place where we’re going to get married,” Daisy told Sam.
When Sam asked if the couple were getting married, Todd clarified that he hadn’t “got down on one knee yet but said they’d “had the chat about it”.
Later in the segment, Todd reiterated that he was planning on proposing to Daisy.
“I will have to get my knee dirty,” he said.
The couple have even discussed having kids soon!
“We both want to start a family,” Todd told New Idea in an interview after the Reunion aired.
Daisy added: “There’s definitely kids in the future. We talk about kids all the time. We actually sat down last week and went through names which we did and didn’t like!”
Furthermore, some sleuthy Facebook users have discovered that Daisy has a new job working as a real estate agent near Todd’s farm.
Hennessey Real Estate lists Daisy as a Sales Agent, and the office is located just 30 minutes from Todds Farm in Baan Baa, NSW.

Farmer Todd and Daisy’s pairing
Daisy caught Todd’s eye straight away, however, they hit a rough patch after the Farmer’s friends didn’t approve of his front runner.
Daisy came clean about a previous marriage while at lunch with Todd’s friends, and they didn’t take the news warmly.
Almost all of Todd’s mates warned him off Daisy and said that she reminded them of his ex. While Todd was initially upset at the reaction, his connection with the gym owner was too strong to give up on.
Farmer Todd’s final two ladies
After meeting Daisy and Grace’s family and friends, he sat them down individually to reveal his final decision.
Grace arrived first, and Todd told her that while their relationship was a “slow burn”, it was “worth the wait.”

Then he broke the news to her and told her that he’d decided to “follow his heart” and pick Daisy.
Farmer Todd’s decision
Next, Daisy was ushered in and Todd told her that she was the one for him.
“Finding love is a big risk. I’m willing to take the risk with you, Daisy. I can finally give you the reassurance that I am definitely falling in love with you,” he said.
“This is where the exciting part starts right? Forever,” Daisy replied.
