MasterChef: Yossra's heartbreaking elimination couldn't have come at a worse time

"It's devastating." - by Penelope Kilby
  • 09 May 2019

When Yossra Abouelfadl was eliminated on Thursday night's episode of MasterChef Australia, she had no idea what was just around the corner.

WATCH: HOW MASTERCHEF'S YOSSRA CAME UNSTUCK

Next week, Yossra's culinary idol, Nigella Lawson will mentor the contestants.

And for Yossra, the chance to Nigella would have been an emotional one. 

"I really started cooking when I moved to Australia and my first inspiration to cook was Nigella Lawson," the Egyptian-born cook told 10Daily.

"She just made me feel… her style is my style of cooking. I love comfort food, I love late night, midnight snacks, I love pasta.

"It was one of my goals, I said, 'if I ever go to MasterChef, I have to stay until I can cook for Nigella Lawson or attend her week' and I just missed it," she admitted.

"It was devastating, to be honest, one of the things that I can’t get over is the fact that I missed Nigella Lawson."
