Gold Logie nominee Poh Ling Yeow reveals the 'worst' part about attending the exclusive award show: 'Really hard'
Poh Ling Yeow has opened up about the 'worst' part of attending TV's annual night-of-nights. The MasterChef star, 51, who is up for a Gold Logie this year, has said the exclusive awards show isn't always as glamorous as it seems, reported TV Tonight on Saturday. Despite bumping shoulders with some of Australia's biggest television stars, the celebrity cook said she struggles with wearing heels and doing red carpet interviews. The heels are the worst thing and I do find the red carpet really hard,' she said. 'Sometimes the questions are so random. Often they're quite young and they [refer to] trends and things, and I don't know what's going on.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after Poh revealed Gold Logie nominees are quietly told weeks in advance about their nomination, despite the fanfare of a live announcement. Appearing on The Project last month, the beloved culinary star said she was informed of her Gold Logie nomination in May and had to keep it a secret from everyone. 'Big Gold Logie nomination,' co-host Sarah Harris teased at the time, before asking how Poh found out. 'Ah, well, I got, I found out actually about three weeks ago,' she said. 'So I had to… mum's the word, and it was quite hard to keep it away from, you know, close friends and family. Uh, but I was really shocked.' Poh recalled being pulled aside after filming an episode of Have You Been Paying Attention? by a Network Ten publicist. 'I'd actually just done Have You Been Paying Attention? and a Channel Ten publicist pulled me aside and said, "Oh, just got a little bit of housekeeping to do,"' she said. 'I was kind of milling around with the comedians… and she's like, "Just hang out in the corridor for a bit." The MasterChef star who is up for a Gold Logie this year, has said the exclusive awards show isn't always as glamorous as it seems, reported TV Tonight on Saturday 'She sat me down in the boardroom and said, "So…" I thought she was going to leave or I thought it was about her because I love her. 'And she goes, "Ah, so yeah, you've been nominated for…" and I was just so bamboozled. I couldn't believe it. 'Yeah. I was speechless. I just… yeah. I'm still feeling a little bit odd about it.' When asked if it had sunk in, Poh replied: 'Can't… I can't. It's hard to process.' Her candid admission stunned fans as it's the first time a TV star has publicly revealed Logie nominees are privately informed weeks before the annual 'reveal' to the media. Poh joined the MasterChef judging panel in 2023 and quickly won over audiences with her warmth, humour and no-nonsense approach to food. The news comes just days after Daily Mail Australia revealed Poh has signed on to return for MasterChef 2026, putting an end to recent speculation she was preparing to bow out. A spokesperson for the popular chef flatly denied the claims, revealing: 'There's no truth to the speculation. Poh is loving her time on MasterChef and feels like she's found her place.' It followed a report by New Idea at the time which suggested Poh was considering leaving the series, prompting executives to quietly begin scouting a new judge to join Andy Allen, Sofia Levin and Jean-Christophe Novelli at the judging table. win the first season of MasterChef back in 2009.
