We’re down to just 9 contestants on MasterChef Australia 2025, and some fans have pointed out a detail that means the winner may have been leaked. Taking to a popular MasterChef Australia Facebook group, one eagle-eyed fan shared that every contestant on a promotional poster has been eliminated… except for one.
“Well, if you believe that the poster tells you the winner, Laura [Sharrad] is the only one left from the promo poster. So I guess the winner has been announced,” the fan claimed.
Another agreed, saying: “When they start the programme, Laura is holding up a trophy.”
However, another pointed out that production often films multiple endings so the winner doesn’t get leaked. Plus, Emilia Jackson won the show in 2020, but she wasn’t included in the original promo imagery.
Other fans weren’t too keen on the idea of Laura taking out the crown, with many preferring Callum Hann to walk away victorious.
“Laura has had her day in the sun with the Coles ice cream promotion. Might be someone else [who wins]? Depinder [Chhibber], Sarah [Todd] or Callum?” a fan pondered.
“I stopped watching because I’m sick of watching [Laura] cook and getting the most air time,” another added.
“I hope it’s not her, she’s painful. I’d love to see Callum win,” a third said.

Who wins MasterChef Australia 2025?
Recently eliminated contestant Andre Ursini believes both Callum and Laura have what it takes to go all the way. Could there be truth to this Laura rumour, after all?
“It’s pretty hard to win MasterChef. You need to be good at everything. There’s so many different aspects to it — you need to be good at team challenges, which require a certain skill set. You need to be good at your single dishes, individual dishes, which is another skill set. And you need to be good at following recipes and Pressure Tests,” Andre tells Chattr.
“Callum and Laura are top level at all of the aspects of MasterChef… [but] for me, a dark horse is Depinder,” he reveals. “Everyone who’s a good game player in MasterChef has their own angle at MasterChef. And it was quite interesting for me to sit back and watch their angles, because I didn’t have one. I just went [to] create chaos and have fun.”

MasterChef Australia contestant Rue Mupedzi also backs Depinder and Laura. “Depinder is my girl. I am hoping she goes all the way, and Laura is also my girl,” she says.
Looks like there’s a pretty big chance that Laura is the winner of MasterChef Australia 2025 — but anything can happen in the heat of the kitchen. We’ll have to sit tight and wait for more episodes to drop.
MasterChef Australia airs on Sunday at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.
