The 64-year-old has made numerous MasterChef appearances over the years, serving as a principal judge and co-host on multiple series of Australia’s MasterChef: The Professionals and popping up on the South Africa and New Zealand versions of the show.
In 2024, he appeared as a guest judge in the grand final of the BBC’s MasterChef. But White’s latest comments suggest he perhaps won’t be rushing back to the studios.
Describing MasterChef as “a reality show”, he told the Daily Mirror: “When it comes to the tasting the food is three, four hours old. It’s cold food.
“It is a TV show, don’t take it seriously. It is not real. It is fantasy. If it makes you want to cook then that is all that matters. It’s food porn."
I thought he was Marco Pierre White, dominating planets which don’t use enough olive oil.
