However, the Scottish celebrity chef let slip that Celebrity MasterChef will be returning.
During the interview, Fev joked to Zonfrillo about Byron wanting to apply, asking if there was a ‘senior’ MasterChef he could go on.
“You can apply for the Celebrity MasterChef,” Zonfrillo mentioned, which seemed to be a slip of the tongue about the series returning.

There has only been one season of Celebrity MasterChef in Australia, the spin-off to MasterChef, which aired in 2009.
At the time, Matt Preston, George Calombaris and Gary Mehigan were the judges, however with the new judges of Jock, Andy Allen and Melissa Leong joining the franchise this year, it is likely that they would also host the spin-off should it make a return.
This year’s shake-up was a huge success for the franchise.

In 2009, world-record holder and Olympic medallist Eamon Sullivan won the series, taking home $50,000 for charity Swim Survive Stay Alive.
In February 2010, executive producer Mark Fennessy said the show would be returning for a second season.
The format of the show was a little different to the regular MasterChef we know and love, as it is based around heats and semi-finals, and is only aired once a week with an hourly format.
The celebrities who participated included Eamon Sullivan, Kirk Pengilly, Rachael Finch, Alex Lloyd, Michelle Bridges, Simon Katich, Faustina ‘Fuzzy’ Agolley, Peter Rowsthorn, George Negus, Ryan O’Keefe, Wendy Harmer, Alex Perry, Anna Bligh, Simon Westaway, Peter FitzSimons, Kathleen de Leon Jones, Indira Naidoo and Josh Thomas.
Aussie comedian Josh Thomas was part of the line-up of Celebrity MasterChef in 2009.

This year, MasterChef had some of the best ratings the show has ever seen.
The big shake-up of changing up the judges was a huge part of its success, but bringing back the All Stars was also a big win for the franchise.
Doing a Celebrity MasterChef could have the same effect.
A Network 10 spokesperson said: “Our upcoming programming line-up will be announced at the (Network) 10 Upfronts next month.”
