Melissa Leong hints that she will lift the lid on MasterChef in new book amid rumours she could return to the cooking show


The food critic, 43, famously served as a judge on the Channel 10 cooking competition for three years but left last year amid a huge hosting shake-up.

Melissa left the program last year under a cloud of suspicion about an alleged feud with her former co-host Andy Allen, who still serves as a judge. Andy returned to the show this year alongside three new judges - media darling Poh Ling Yeow, Michelin-star chef Jean-Christophe Novelli and Melbourne food critic Sofia Levin. Melissa has since gone on to take on a new role on MasterChef's spin-off show Dessert Masters co-judging alongside French-Swiss pastry chef Amaury Guichon.
