Matt Le Nevez will always have a strong affinity with Melbourne.

The much loved actor who was an Offpsring favourite as Patrick Reid, said he still has strong ties here despite living in Los Angeles.

“Australia will always be home,’’ Le Nevez said.

“Melbourne is my favourite city in Australia and my brother Tim lives in Jan Juc; we talk every day.

“Melbourne has been through so much, no matter what side you sit on politically it’s just heartbreaking. It’s a city that wants to be outside and I’m glad it is starting to come back again.”

Le Nevez was the latest cook eliminated from Channel 10’s Celebrity MasterChef on Sunday night after cooking duck for the first time.

He said he loved the experience but was anxious at first.

“I’ve been a fan of MastercChef and it was such a rollercoaster,’’ he said.

“It was a shock at the start when you all turn up but what a unique experience and getting to know people like Nick Riewoldt, Archie Thompson and judge Jock Zonfrillo was amazing.

“I would have liked to have stayed longer and learnt more off Jock but I enjoyed it and being back in Melbourne.”
