MasterChef Contestant Denies Cheating (Both On Girlfriend And During Televised Cooking Competition)

Are we ever going to stop hearing from Chris Badenoch’s ex girlfriends? It seems unlikely. Even though it’s been, like, three years since MasterChef was on the telly (well, it feels like an age), it seems the notorious pantsman is still decent gossip fodder.

A Current Affair (current? I don’t think so) have spoken to Chris Badenoch’s former ladyfriend Gemma Pritchard, and she’s claiming she helped her then lover cheat during the televised competition.

Badenoch has found revenge is a dish best served cold after former girlfriend Gemma Pritchard alleged he cheated on MasterChef Australia.

Pritchard claimed Badenoch broke show rules by using a mobile phone in the MasterChef Australia house to get her to order meat from a supermarket. The alleged cheating occurred in a challenge that involved contestants being given $100 and 15 minutes in a supermarket to shop for ingredients.

“At the time I was giving my partner support in a stressful situation,” she told Channel 9’s A Current Affair. “I feel incredibly guilty about it.”

This is the same former girlfriend who poured a drink over Chris in August, yeah? It’s good to see she’s letting go of the past and choosing to move on with dignity.

Chris is denying it all, of course. And probably informing Gemma that he does not even own A gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack.
