MasterChef Australia viewers call out judge Andy Allen for his 'annoying' habit on the show: 'We need to cancel him'


Masterchef Australia made its highly anticipated return to screens on Monday night featuring a panel shake-up for the 16th season.

Andy Allen returned to the Channel Ten cooking show alongside some new faces, including French celebrity chef Jean-Christophe Novelli, Melbourne-based food critic Sofia Levin, and MasterChef season one runner-up Poh Ling Yeow. The food critic, 35, has returned to the Channel Ten set following the shock passing of his 'mate' Zonfrillo last year just hours ahead of their media blitz for season 15. Allen told The Project panel on Monday night that he almost didn't appear on the show this year, but is now 'so glad' he decided to push through the grief.
