MasterChef Australia‘s Pete Campbell has provided a health update, after revealing his secret cancer battle that saw him exit the show earlier this year.

The beloved chef took to Instagram recently to share that he’s ‘cancer free’ following his devastating Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis.

‘CANCER FREE, GNARLY,’ the 40-year-old captioned the post, which has received over 17,000 likes.

‘Thank you for all the messages and check ins, sorry if I didn’t write back, I had cancer.’

To celebrate the good news, Pete shared an array of pictures documenting his cancer journey.

One loved-up snap showed him passionately kissing his wife Alana in a kitchen while wearing a red beanie.

Another picture showed Pete in a hospital bed, while one more captured the moment he shaved off his long, signature locks.

Also featured in the post were his two daughters and, of course, various cooking snaps.

Friends, fans and family of the cook – as well as a few MasterChef personalities – poured into the comments section to congratulate Pete on his recovery.

‘Proud of you mate! Onwards and upwards,’ wrote judge Andy Allen.

‘F*** yeah Pete!!!!!!! Love ya,’ added Sav Perera, who also participated in the Back To Win series.

‘You’re a beast,’ declared 2021 winner Justin Narayan.

In May, it was revealed that Pete had left the cooking program after being diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma.

After appearing in the first episodes of the show, Pete was suddenly absent from the group of contestants.

Judge Andy Allen then revealed the chef had departed the show for ‘personal reasons’, but did not further disclose Pete’s illness or health woes.

‘Due to personal reasons, Pete is unable to continue in the competition,’ Andy told the group.

‘And we wish him nothing but the best.’

However, Pete took to Instagram after the episode aired to confirm he was undergoing chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer.

‘Didn’t even get to cook for the judges! But you know what they say… “if you have cancer you should go get chemo,”‘ he wrote.

‘A massive thank you to everyone messaging and checking in, you’re all so nice.’
