The former judges on the cooking reality show, which hit big popularity across the shores in India, reunited for an India tour recently
We’re waiting for the trio to finish up another meeting when they erupt in cheers, indulging in some good-natured ribbing over Australia’s cricket World Cup victory over India. Even off camera, you can tell that like the cast of Friends, Masterchef Australia’s star judges—Matt Preston, George Calombaris and Gary Mehigan—really are friends.
They don’t let go of a chance to poke fun at each other, to praise each other and tell anecdotes peppered with stories of each other’s families. After 11 seasons, however, the judges exited Masterchef Australia together in 2019, and the past four years have been eventful for them in different ways.
