MasterChef Australia: Back To Win elimination sees cook's dream dashed over underdone duck as brutal butter challenge goes awry
MasterChef Australia: Back To Win has lost another cook after a butter challenge left a lot to be desired on Sunday night. A pressure test called for the chefs to create a dish that 'celebrated butter' in 75 minutes. Unfortunately, Tim Bone's dish fell short when his underdone duck failed to wow the judges, and it led to his elimination. 'My heart definitely sank,' the Ballarat chef told Ten after he departed the cooking competition. 'I think I bit off more than I could chew trying to get a beautiful fall-off-the-bone confit duck in 75 minutes, but that's the world we live in, it's a pressure-cooker of an environment, and you never know when your time is up' he continued. 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. 'Unfortunately, my time was up'. The host of Good Chef Bad Chef said that despite being kicked off the series he was happy with what he had achieved. 'I still walked out with my head held high. I was proud of what I was able to achieve in the competition,' he said. It comes after contestant Rue Mupedzi set herself up for a huge career in the culinary world after her shock elimination from the Back to Win season on Tuesday. Instead of hanging up her apron for good, the 29-year-old dental hygienist is planning on becoming a pastry chef. Rue, who is known as the 'dessert queen' by fans, announced she plans to head to Europe to pursue her dream as soon as possible. 'My vision board is to go to France and gain work experience in the pastry world for six months to a year, as well as explore Europe,' she said in a new interview with Yahoo Lifestyle on Wednesday. The WA-based kitchen star said her long-term plans included opening her own pastry shop. Unfortunately, Tim's dish fell short when his underdone duck failed to wow the judges, and it led to his elimination Rue returned to MasterChef after her headline making appearance on the show in 2023. She suffered the heartache of a second MasterChef Australia elimination last week after a tricky pudding failed to impress the judges. In tears, Rue told the judges that it had been an honour cooking for them and being on the show for a second time around. 'Just being called back among such amazing chefs made me realise I'm also part of the great people,' she shared. Jean-Christophe Novelli sang high praises of the contestant and her presence on the show. 'You are unique, you've got the most amazing spirit and, for me, I believe you are a ray of sunshine in any kitchen,' he told Rue in a heartfelt speech. Speaking of her final cook with 10Play, Season 15's Rue was left disappointed after being eliminated in a challenge she considered to be her bread and butter. 'I really felt like this was a cook that I was supposed to shine in, and I didn't,' Rue said. 'I had done all these elements over a thousand times, and somehow that didn't show. You couldn't see that on the plate.'

Kris Marshall reveals which Love Actually co-star is joining the cast of his hit BBC series Beyond Paradise - and shares how viewers can guess the killer in every episode
Kris Marshall is in Australia promoting the new season of hit BBC series Beyond Paradise. And the British actor, who stars in Beyond Paradise, says a familiar face is set to crop up on the murder mystery show. Marshall, who rose to fame in the 2003 film Love Actually, says his co-star Abdul Salis, who played his best mate Tony in the comedy, will soon appear in Beyond Paradise. 'I had only seen him once in 24 years' the 52-year-old said on Sunday's episode of The Project. 'It's a beautiful thing about being an actor. You pick up where you left off. It's kind of symbiotic. I love it. 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. 'So, he came in and did a guest thing and we're all a bit older and, you know, we're not very much wiser. We're all good.' Marshall appeared to hint that Salis won't be the killer in the episode, but stopped himself before giving a little too much away. 'I don't think he's... I'm not going to give any spoilers!' he said with a laugh. Marshall also gave audiences for the mystery murder series, which streams on BritBox Down Under, a major clue on how to crack each case. He joked that viewers tend to guess who the killer is each episode before his character, bumbling Detective Inspector Humphrey Goodman, manages to do so - and there is a surefire way to work out whodunnit. 'When I first started, I used this thing I called the Scooby Doo algorithm - it's always the second person they meet' he said, but conceded, 'some are more complex.' 'It taught me our audiences are better at solving the crimes than I am. That is weird. I literally have the scripts... I'm absolutely awful at it' he said. Marshall played Detective Goodman first in the hit BBC series Death in Paradise and then in its equally popular spin off Beyond Paradise , which has just returned for a third series. At age 27 played the hopeless fop Colin Frissell in 2003's Love Actually, which made him pretty huge. His character heads for Wisconsin, where his English accent is enough to get him into bed with January Jones, Elisha Cuthbert, Denise Richards and Shannon Elizabeth. Marshall took over solving murder mysteries on a Caribbean island in 2014 from Ben Miller, the show's first star – and he proved such a ratings success they created Beyond Paradise specifically for him, in damp Devon. Yet when he first auditioned for Death in Paradise in 2013 they turned him down flat. 'I didn't even make the final four,' he says. Newly married, with a three-month-old baby and his US sitcom Traffic Light recently ended, he needed a job. Then, 'Ten days later they phoned to say, 'We've made a mistake' and that changed ten years of my life.' In an age of falling viewing figures, Death in Paradise
