Poh, who runs a cafe in Adelaide, was runner up to Julie Goodwin in the very first season and has amassed quite an army of supporters over the years.

It comes as Courtney Roulston was the latest evictee from the cooking show, which is experiencing dynamite ratings for 2020.

The star was unhappy with the way she was eliminated, saying the unusual and exotic ingredients were new to her.

“I didn’t know what a boab was; I still don’t know what it is. Kohlrabi cones? I’d never put burrata through a siphon gun before,” she told Krysti and Bodge on Hit North Mid Coast.

“That’s why I took so long reading the recipe; I thought they given me the Taiwanese version and I couldn’t actually understand it.”
