One of MasterChef Australias fan favourites Poh Ling Yeow is definitely open to appearing on the popular cooking show in 2021.

The 47-year-old, who placed second on MasterChef in 2009 before returning to the all-stars Back To Win series last year, said appearing in the capacity of a mentor is not off the cards.

In an interview with news.com.au that was conducted in late 2020 but published on Monday, Poh recalled being a mentor in previous years, though said she still had a lot to learn when she competed again last year.
