Has the winner of MasterChef Australia been LEAKED? Fans spot major spoiler in Back To Win poster
MasterChef Australia fans are up in arms after a supposed spoiler revealed the winner of the current Back To Win season.
Taking to Reddit, one fan of the beloved cooking show pointed out on Tuesday that the promotional picture on the network's streaming service 10Play featured mostly eliminated contestants, leading them to wonder whether it shone a light on who the winner would be.
'Has anyone noticed how many contestants on this advert for Masterchef on 10Play app has already been eliminated??' the Reddit user captioned the screenshot.
'Darsh, Steph, Sav and Tim all eliminated... could this be a sign?' they asked.
The fan then went on to predict who may be facing the chopping block next based on the poster.

'Maybe Laura and Declan will be out the door soon too??'
Other MasterChef devotees flooded the comments of the Reddit post with their takes on the theory.
One person noted that the adverts were probably made before filming had commenced and therefore randomly fronted.
'Think someone mentioned it already but [by] the time they made this [ad], they haven't finished their filming. Thus they just putted [sic] random people on the pic. '
Another person theorised that they used the most popular faces of the show for the poster.
'I think they just use whoever is most popular / easy to attract viewers in rather than based on who makes it far (plus it's already mentioned these are done before filming is done). lirc steph has a huge IG following so makes sense why she's front and centre.'
'Laura definitely won't go before top 10,' another person confidently predicted.
It comes after fans were left shocked following reports that MasterChef Australia favourite Poh Ling Yeow was set to 'leave her judging post' as the cooking competition faced another shake-up in the star cast.

It comes after fans were left shocked following reports that MasterChef Australia favourite Poh Ling Yeow was set to 'leave her judging post' as the cooking competition faced another shake-up in the star cast
The celebrity cook, 51, is said to be preparing her exit from the long-running series at the end of this season - prompting executives to search for a new judge to join Andy Allen, Sofia Levin and Jean-Christophe Novelli on the panel, reported New Idea.
And there's already one name being floated as a potential replacement – beloved original contestant Julie Goodwin.
'Julie would be a fantastic judge. Fans love her,' a source told the outlet.
'While no one wants to see Poh leave, everyone would welcome Julie back with open arms.'
Julie, 54, who beat Poh in the very first season of MasterChef back in 2009, returned to the franchise in 2022 before making a surprise appearance as a guest judge in 2023.
Insiders say she 'absolutely loved' her time on the other side of the bench and could be ready to return in a more permanent capacity.

MAFS star reveals she's turned to fat jabs in desperate bid to lose weight after being bodyshamed on show and by trolls
A MARRIED At First Sight star has revealed she's been subject to "shame" after opting to use fat jabs to lose weight. The E4 favourite, who featured in the Australian version of the matchmaking series, told of her "frustration" at more traditional methods which failed to have an impact on her wellbeing. 6 6 6 The auburn-haired star, 37, found fame on Married At First Sight 's most recent series, where fans were quick to call out her groom Tim Gromie's cruel conduct. MAFS fans watched in horror as school teacher Tim brutally rejected Katie Johnston just minutes after they said I Do - as he insisted she was nothing like what he "would have wanted". Having pulled a producer to the side, he exclaimed: "What the f***?" He continued: "Totally not what I wanted. "It's not good. I normally go just short, blonde. petite. "Katie is like nothing that I would normally go for." After the body-shaming on screen, restaurant CEO Katie told how she was using "scientific help" for her weight loss - because "that's what it's there for." In a piece to camera filmed outside, she told fans: "I have initially started my GLP1 journey with quite a bit of shame wrapped around it. "Because I was frustrated that I couldn't do it myself and I just didn't have the capacity to figure it out on my own. MAFS' Katie breaks down in tears in upsetiting scenes with Tim "And I utilised scientific help and that's what it's there for. "So it's anything, any meds that you use to help you control parts of yourself like for example anti anxieties, I've used anti anxieties for really bad times in my life that I couldn't cope." GLP1 is a natural hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite. It also plays a role in slowing down digestion, and is often a treatment used to help Type 2 Diabetes. The star, whose show groom rudely confessed he wanted to "run away" during the experiment ultimately ended up quitting the series. Mafs couples that have stood the test of time Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby. The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home. Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau. Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December. Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.' Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019. Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work. "While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in. 'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?' 'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.' Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson. Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong. They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod. Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship." Yet Queensland native Katie has gained a legion of loyal fans since appearing on-air, who appreciate her cheery character and bubbly, positive personality. Though showing how the backlash towards fat jabs had hit a nerve, she said in her long clip: "OK I'm going to go on a little bit of a rant because I'm frustrated and that's what I do when I'm frustrated. "I'm over people being shamed for using GLP1 or any other method of weight loss. "Anything that people do is their choice and it's up to them and only you know your path and what got you into the position you are and the help that you need. "Only you know that. Sorry about my b****y state "But just be kind to yourself. She rounded off with the words: "So please don't let the narrative out there that it's so easy to lose weight and just eat well, just exercise well. "Just be more motivated, have more discipline - go away! Leave us alone. We're figuring it out. "We are giving ourselves breathing space to be able to implement new habits and learn new things and transition our life to a healthier life. "So help us on our journey and cheer us on instead of giving us a hard time, thank you." She captioned the video: "Dear THAT person, go away, we are all on our own path, you do you, " and one fan replied: "You are so right Katie and I love you either way and you will always be my fave girl x" A second put: "Love this message," as a third posted: "Screw them loves you are amazing and you are rocking it." One then added: "You just keep being You XOXO." Another surmised: "Just keep being you and good luck in your next wellbeing journey everyone needs little help now and again be kind to yourself and ignore the negativity of people xx" SHOW STORY Since her show stint which aired in the UK earlier this year, it emerged her groom Tim had been messaging another bride during their honeymoon. During the scenes, fans were convinced the tattooed star who had an extreme reluctance to talk about his own marriage was a producer "plant." Tim told their co-stars at the Dinner Party he felt he was making the most effort in their relationship, having struggled to find a connection with her - despite scenes showing the exact opposite playing out on screen. It left Katie's fellow bride Jamie furious as she defended Katie and branded Tim a 'gaslighter'. 6 6 6

Elle Macpherson, 61, looks decades younger as she makes glamorous appearance at launch of her new book in London
She's the Australian supermodel who rose to fame on the international fashion scene in the 1980s. And now Elle Macpherson is wowing fans as an author. The ageless 61-year-old recently appeared in London as the special guest for a 'super women' breakfast to promote her 2024 memoir, Elle: Life, Lessons & Learning to Trust Yourself. Held at the prestigious Soho Mews House, the Sydney-born fashionista cut an elegant figure in cream slacks and a matching low cut top. Elle looked much younger than her years as she paired the outfit with a stylish overcoat. 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. Letting her long tresses fall over her shoulders, Elle accessorised with an elaborate silver necklace. The leggy runway star later shared a gallery of images from the event, in which she could be seen giving a talk about her 'wellness philosophy'. She also included a video of a question and answer session. Meanwhile, Elle recently opened up about using cocaine during her modelling years late last month. The supermodel spoke at length about her addiction and journey to getting sober in her memoir, Elle: Life, Lessons & Learning to Trust Yourself. In one chapter, she revealed she would frequently get black-out drunk and drink 'shots of vodka' after putting her sons Cy and Flynn to bed when they were young. She went on to confess in November on The Kyle and Jackie O Show that she used cocaine in the past for weight loss. Radio host Kyle Sandilands told her: 'I made the mistake, and I'm happy to admit it, that I thought I'd lose weight by having cocaine for ten years. 'Now, did I lose the weight? No, I didn't. I got the bloat.' In response, Elle admitted: 'I've done that!' In her memoir, Elle - who was dubbed 'The Body' at the peak of her fame - detailed the depths of her addiction before giving up alcohol and getting sober in 2003. She shared her habit of drinking shots at night while with her now ex Arpad 'Arki' Busson—the father of her children. 'My life looked amazing to everybody. On the outside I was doing a beautiful job but, deep down inside, I was really struggling,' she wrote in her book. She also explained why she controversially turned to holistic healing methods rather than chemotherapy after getting diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017. 'It wasn't like there was a one size fits all golden bullet... that you could just take and say, "Okay, this is going to guarantee upper wellness at the end of it,"' she said. 'Sometimes it's a combination; it's not either-or, maybe it's a combination of things.'

Renowned chef talks about life after being conned out of £300,000 by his own mum
When Graham Hornigold first heard from his mum, he was delighted, full of "excitement and anticipation". He had gone more than 40 years without seeing her, having been in foster care from the age of two and then living with his father and stepmother. So, when she dropped him an email in the middle of the pandemic, it was almost biological instinct that made him reply. If he had realised that in six months, he would be £300,000 in debt, separated from his wife and wishing his mother was someone else, maybe he would have made a different choice. The renowned pastry chef and Masterchef: The Professionals judge unveiled his story in the Netflix documentary Con Mum earlier this year. Since the programme aired, Graham's life has been a whirlwind as he tried to recover emotionally, mentally and financially from the turmoil his mother Dionne Marie Hanna left behind. "I was in bits, a real dark place, all alone. Your friends drop away, your family drops away, and nobody really knows what you're going through," the 50-year-old told Sky News' Money blog. "It's really hard to transmit those feelings because nobody can understand it unless they've really lived through it. "You don't realise until after they have fleeced you or manipulated you beyond your wildest dreams, that you've actually left yourself exposed." 'There's nothing really to say to her - is there?' Hanna presented herself as a wealthy, illegitimate daughter of the sultan of Brunei, initially spoiling Hornigold, and his partner at the time, Heather Kaniuk, with expensive gifts - including a Range Rover and a BMW. She told him that she had just months to live, but as time went on, she began leaving Hornigold and his friends with large bills for hotels, meals and other expenses. Eventually, she disappeared. The Netflix documentary shows her final phone call with Hornigold, in which she claims to be in Malaysia. Hornigold told Money that he has not spoken to her since, and he doesn't wish to. "All I know is what I have seen in the papers, which is that she was taken [arrested] in Singapore," he said. "There is nothing really else to say to her, is there? Thanks for carrying me," he laughed. 'Really, really dark place' The ordeal uprooted Hornigold's life. His marriage broke down as a result, with his ex-wife and son now living in New Zealand. "Coming back to an empty house that no longer has your child or your partner in, or your mum, was really tricky. I had to live there for a year afterwards and then clear it to sell it. That was a really, really dark place," he said. In a bid to clear the £300,000 of debt he had been left with, he gave back the cars and managed "little by little" to pay some of the money back - with around two-thirds already paid off. "Some [of the debt] is still sitting here because obviously you still have increased costs, and rent is higher than your old mortgage, and I live by myself," he said. "But it's not about the money, it's just the emotional damage that's been done." 'My business is suffering' As a top chef and a successful businessman, Hornigold has found comfort in the kitchen and in his companies - the gourmet doughnut brand Longboys, his patisserie Pretty Sweet and his consultancy Smart Patisserie. "My work has definitely kept me busy, but that again is one of those coping mechanisms," Hornigold said. While battling the issues in his personal life, he has also been trying to continue the success of his businesses in a tough economic climate. "Hospitality, like most businesses now, are taking a hit," Hornigold said. "Ingredient costs have gone up because of import taxes, the availability of goods, and the increased cost of living. There is only so much that people are willing to pay for things. "My business is suffering today but I still have a roof over my head, I've still got a family that loves me, and I've still got my reputation. "Hopefully, we can weather the storm." 'Everybody is struggling' Hornigold's positivity is infectious. Despite admitting he has a "challenging" life, he said he "always looks for the light" and wants others facing difficult times to do the same. "I'm from the generation where you just crack on. That's probably why some of the things have come to pass," he said. "I allowed this to happen because of that need for acceptance. "That's why we have to talk about mental health as a whole piece. It's not seen as a weakness any more. You can go out, fully masculine, and still be able to be heard and become healed without any sense of fear or weakness. "I mean, I'm struggling, but everybody is struggling. I still can't complain, though, can I?
