The sharp-tongued British chef has taken a liking to the MasterChef star
POH LING YEOW - ‘THE TRUTH ABOUT GORDON & I'

MasterChef’s blockbuster Back To Win season has only been on air for a week, but it hasn’t stopped special guest judge Gordon Ramsay from picking a winner!

Last week, it was popular cook Poh Ling Yeow who caught Gordon’s eye – even before she served up her Malaysian abacus beads dish. But it wasn’t just Gordon who felt the chemistry in the kitchen.

Fans flooded social media when 47-year-old Poh made some eyebrow-raising comments about the fiery UK chef! “It’s always been a dream of mine to be yelled at by Gordon at some point in my life,” she laughed on the show’s first episode.

And fans of the lovable cook – who married her husband Jonathan Bennett in 2014 – couldn’t help but agree with her cheeky remark. “Me too!” declared one confident fan.

“Poh wanting to be yelled at by Gordon is all of us, to be honest,” wrote another, referring to the Scottish-born restaurant owner’s fiery temper in the kitchen.

Fans didn’t stop drawing conclusions there either. Some viewers were adamant the notoriously tough judge has a soft spot for Poh.

“Poh is the only safe one,” pondered a fan, before Gordon, 53, excessively praised the artist. “I’m gonna tell you something really important now. You’re the favourite,” he insisted.

A blushing Poh replied, “Oh, Gordon! You can’t say that! Stop it! Stop it!”

What’s more, fans were quick to notice Poh’s wedding ring was missing during some of the episodes despite her fellow chefs sporting theirs in the kitchen.
