Three days after winning the AACTA Award, The Daily Telegraphâs Annette Sharp writes that Melissa has fallen out with members of MasterChefâs production crew. Insiders say Melissa now does her own hair and make-up for the program after falling out with production partner Endemol Shineâs appointed hair and make-up professionals, and the situation was further aggravated after a freelancer later hired to attend to the judgeâs tresses sought comfort from fellow production crew.
Melissa also allegedly claimed that crew members produced a cake for Andy Allenâs birthday, but didnât make one for her birthday in April this year, which fell on a non-production day.
Yikes
Although it is a News publication, let us say for argumentâs sake if this is true, why would one care, are they that insecure?

It does seem unkind that her birthday wasnât acknowledged or celebrated in the same way.

These Murdoch newspapers are becoming as utterly trashy as the British tabloids including the Daily Mail.
In the follow up column in The Sunday Telegraph today, Annette Sharp writes that the cast and crew of MasterChef were read the riot act on Friday. Sources said the cast and crew were told âin no uncertain termsâ that if anyone breached the confidentiality clause in their contracts and spoke to media about behind the scenes shenanigans, their contract would be torn up and theyâd be shown the door. Annette also writes that Melissa has retained legal representation.

Annette Sharp is reporting that tensions are still high between Melissa Leong and the MasterChef crew. Insiders say that Leong is lobbying Ten executives to have her own hair and make up people employed after falling out with the beauty and grooming professionals Ten and Endemol Shine use for the show. Leong is also agitating to have the programâs wardrobe stylists dispatched following disagreements over her wardrobe. When reports of tensions between Leong and the crew were first reported by Sharp in December, Ten reacted by sending executives from Sydney to Masterchefâs filming in Melbourne to observe internal dynamics on the studio floor.
The article also mentions some changes to the showâs format this year. Jock Zonfrillo told The Australian that the new season will have fewer episodes, the preliminaries will be scrapped, and a special celebrity judge will join the cast.

10 has updated the profile pic of the three judges on the showâs social media accounts. That means an announcement on the airdate shouldnât be too far off.
