Khanh recently addressed more swirling rumours around Poh Ling Yeow allegedly receiving preferential treatment on this season of MasterChef Australia: Back to Win.
But despite the speculation, Khanh was adamant that he never witnessed “any favourable treatment” towards the beloved food personality.

“I get that people are saying, ‘Oh there’s a lot of Poh!’” Khanh admitted.
