Amaury Guichon has weighed in on his Australian cooking show Dessert Masters and if he's keen to return for another season.
The renowned pastry chef, who appeared as a judge alongside Melissa Leong for seasons one and two of the high-rated Channel Ten cooking series, admitted he remains hopeful the show will return.
'I do hope so ... I think they're gonna have a third season,' the 34-year-old exclusively told Daily Mail Australia at his chocolate pop-up store event in Sydney.
'We have two great seasons. I love doing [Dessert Masters] because I have other shows in the US. But here, there is really something special.
'The people are so passionate about what they do that you can really see on the screen.'
Dessert Masters dominated the ratings when it aired in 2023 and 2024 with Amaury and Melissa at the helm.
Its first season saw a group of Australian pastry chefs compete for a $100,000 prize and deliver a ratings salve for the network in the highly competitive reality TV market.
The premiere episode had 451,000 Australians tuning in across all the major cities and viewers heaped praise on the TV veteran.
Dessert Masters is set to return for another season, but the network has bought itself some time by delaying a formal announcement until after the second season has aired.
'Last year, there was a strong appetite for the debut of Dessert Masters,' a Ten spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia last year.
'In 2024, we are delighted to plate up second helpings.'
Amaury, who is based in Las Vegas, flew to Sydney on Wednesday to attend his exclusive Chocolate by Amaury Guichon pop-up event in Martin Place hosted by American Express delicious. Month Out.
