Something is cooking in the
MasterChef kitchen and it
ain't the finger-licking good food.
It seems a romance is heating up between two of the show's
finalists - Melbourne-based pair Chris Badenoch and Julia Jenkins -
after the two were seen cosying up on a recent flight, before
enjoying a tasty breakfast in North Melbourne.
The possible coupling has been the topic of conversation on
MasterChef Australia forums since the pair was spied by a
passenger during the flight.
"Julia was stroking Chris's leg and laying her head on his
shoulder," the passenger said.
Both budding chefs have reportedly recently ended
relationships.
More recently, the duo were seen further stirring the pot after
leaving 41-year-old Badenoch's Brunswick house hand in hand.
Jenkins, 23, yesterday refused to deny their quickly
rising relationship, but would also not confirm she was dating
the beer merchant.
The duo's hopes of winning the tasty title of MasterChef were
strengthened last night when Sydney's Lucas Parsons was
eliminated.
Parsons, a former pro golfer, lost the challenge to
make a sweet and a savoury pie in two hours.
The winner will be announced at the show's finale on Sunday
night.
