Jamie Oliver to Guest Judge on 10’s “MasterChef Australia: Secrets & Surprises”

The first MasterChef Australia: Secrets & Surprises surprise involves Jamie Oliver.

On May 1, Australia will once again be treated to MasterChef Australia, the country’s most watched cooking programme. Superstar cook and international icon Jamie Oliver will be the first special guest judge of Season 15.

“I’m very, very excited to be back in the MasterChef Australia kitchen, and honoured to be kicking off the new season of Secrets & Surprises alongside Jock, Andy and Mel.       

I want to give the contestants some little nuggets of advice, some techniques and some thoughts most importantly, that might help them to navigate some of the big moments ahead,” said Jamie.

Jamie’s return to the MasterChef Australia kitchen after more than a decade will be marked by a number of high-stakes challenges spread across two episodes.

The well-known British celebrity is the first of many notable names in the industry who will be serving as special judges this season.

The aspect of surprise will be this season’s secret ingredient, and it will be used in everything from enormous lamington towers to exploding confetti mystery boxes.
