He’s the British chef known for his explosive personality.

And while Gordon Ramsay is no stranger to the MasterChef Australia kitchen, the show has now confirmed he will be making an appearance on the celebrity season.

Channel 10 announced the news on Twitter, posting a photo of Gordon in his chef’s apron alongside the caption: ‘Gordon Ramsay is back!’.

He’s back! While Gordon Ramsay is no stranger to the MasterChef Australia kitchen, the show has now confirmed he will be making an appearance on the celebrity season.

Gordon’s guest appearance will be during the first elimination round on Sunday.

It remains to be seen if he shows any favouritism towards his daughter Tilly Ramsay, who is one of the contestants on the show.

Tilly told Body + Soul earlier this month: ‘I have so many favourite moments with dad – from learning to cook at age four while he was filming the TV series The F Word, to messing about and filming silly, fun dancing videos.’.

She added that some of her best memories were pulling pranks on her father and posting the footage on her popular Instagram account.

Tilly revealed her father often tries to make up his own jokes, but ‘they’re even worse than the classic dad jokes’.

‘He ends up laughing while trying to tell the joke and can’t even finish it. At least he finds himself funny,’ she said.
