Miguel Maestre was also extremely emotional when told that his mentor Tony Bilson, who is often referred to as the “godfather of Australian cuisine”, died last Thursday at the age of 76.

Miguel became head chef at Bilson’s restaurant Number One when he was 27 years old.

Only five stars are left in the jungle: Dale Thomas, Rhonda Burchmore, Miguel Maestre, Cosentino and Charlotte Crosby.
