Justin rated the event above his MasterChef win, calling the nuptials 'the best day of my entire life'.

'I need to get some more work done in the kitchen and go from there,' he explained at the time. 

'I'll try and make some smart investments, and I'll start to create some online content. But I need experience in the kitchen to work towards opening up my own place.'

Although he isn't rushing to open his own restaurants, he said the idea is 'on the cards for sure'.

Narayan was elated after scooping the top prize, beating out fellow finalists Kishwar Chowdhury and Pete Campbell.
