MasterChef Australia is taking three famous faces into the grand finale.

History has repeated, with Callum Hann and Laura Sharrad heading for a showdown after previously having faced the finals in earlier seasons.

Laura was a runner-up in both season six and season 12, while Callum was a runner-up in season two, as well as coming fourth in season 12.

Joining the superstar cooks is Jamie Fleming, who rounds out the final three in the race to win $250,000 and the title of MasterChef.

Jamie previously came fourth in season six, and has faced off against Laura before, with the pair now set for a rematch.

Eliminated in fourth place during Monday night’s episode was Depinder Chhibber, who leaves the Back To Win series just shy of making the finals.

‘I’m a little bit  devo because I really wanted to go to the semifinal,’ she said upon learning her fate.

‘I’m happy to have made it to the top four. Like, that is amazing,’ she added.

‘I’ve made so many memories. Countless memories. That’s what I’m going to take back with me. All of those memories and love from these guys.’

The final three will now face off to get down to the final two, ahead of the grand finale episode on July 16.

It comes after fans took aim at the cooking show’s hygiene standards.

Eagle-eyed viewers have singled out recent episodes where fan favourites can be seen sporting rings and necklaces while preparing food.

‘I have noticed that a lot of contestants wear jewellery when cooking. I thought that was a big no-no in the hospitality industry?’ a fan wrote on a Reddit discussion board.

The viewer also took issue with Jamie Fleming and his choice of headwear.

‘Same with Jamie wearing his caps,’ the user said of Fleming, who first appeared on the show in 2014 and returned this year for the Back To Win season.

‘I’ve been saying this for years,’ added another disappointed viewer.

‘Wearing rings while handling meat/poultry/seafood and/or working dough, is genuinely repulsive.

‘I don’t care how many times they wash their hands in between each step. Why on earth can’t they take off their jewellery for their cooks??!!’

Added another viewer, ‘I don’t think we need or will ever see hair nets but at least tidy, pulled-back hair, and no hanging jewellery or bracelets/rings.’

‘Also, shouldn’t people be pulling their hair back?’ said another viewer.

Viewers were particularly disturbed to see contestant Sarah Todd wearing jewellery and Snezana ‘Snez’ Calic wearing her long hair out.

‘Surely there shouldn’t be fringes and loose strands of hair free across the face – should have to tuck it under a cap or something?’ one person asked.

‘Wearing rings while handling meat, poultry, seafood and/or working dough etc, is genuinely repulsive,’ complained one viewer on the Reddit. Pictured: A scene from a recent episode

A spokesperson from Endemol Shine Australia responded to the comments.

‘Hygiene, health and safety are paramount in the MasterChef Australia kitchen. Contestants are briefed on protocols before they begin each cook and our Food Team provides reminders throughout.’

According to 2024 MasterChef Australia contestant Sumeet Saigal, the cast is informed of the hygiene standards ahead of filming.

‘You’re always briefed about hygiene and you’re always reminded,’ she told Yahoo Lifestyle last June.
