A MasterChef Australia insider has revealed that Channel Ten have had their eye on new judge Poh Ling Yeow as far back as 2019.
The former contestant was considered as a replacement for outgoing judges Matt Preston, George Calombaris and Gary Mehigan when they were booted that year.
'The conversations around the boardroom started with a dream team of judges that would work well together and Poh was on that list for sure,' the source told Yahoo.
The plans were put on ice however, with producers allegedly keen to get Poh and former winner Julie Goodwin to return for the Back to Win celebrity season.
The pause allowed Poh to gain further TV experience, as did her appearance on other shows.
