MasterChef Stars Sarah Todd and Declan Cleary Reveal Romance

It seems love is in the air at the MasterChef Australia kitchen as two contestants from the Back To Win season have fallen head over heels.

Sarah Todd and Declan Cleary, who have been battling it out on screen, have come clean about their secret romance, revealing that they have already moved in together following the high-pressure show.

Speaking to this week’s Stellar Magazine, Declan revealed that the pair ‘instantly got along’, which saw them spend lots of time together behind the scenes.

However, it wasn’t until 38-year-old Sarah landed in an elimination challenge that Declan’s feelings became apparent, and he knew he needed to tell her how he felt.

‘As she’s walking into the elimination [challenge], I said, “Sarah, can I ask you something? Would you like to go on a date with me?” And she just looked at me and said, “You’re a bloody idiot”,’ he said.

While the poorly-timed invitation didn’t land the way he thought it would, Sarah eventually came around to the idea of them together.

‘After I got through the stress of the elimination and had a couple of days to recover, I realised it made sense,’ she said.

For their first date, the pair visited Grampians National Park for a romantic weekend away, exploring markets, eating at picturesque restaurants and going for walks in the central Victoria highlands.

The romance comes after a supposed spoiler revealed the winner of the current Back To Win season, sending fans into a frenzy.

Taking to Reddit, one fan of the beloved cooking show pointed out on Tuesday that the promotional picture on the network’s streaming service 10Play featured mostly eliminated contestants, leading them to wonder whether it shone a light on who the winner would be.

‘Has anyone noticed how many contestants on this advert for Masterchef on 10Play app has already been eliminated??’ the Reddit user captioned the screenshot.

‘Darsh, Steph, Sav and Tim all eliminated… could this be a sign?’ they asked.

The fan then went on to predict who may be facing the chopping block next based on the poster.

‘Maybe Laura and Declan will be out the door soon too??’

Other MasterChef devotees flooded the comments of the Reddit post with their takes on the theory.

One person noted that the adverts were probably made before filming had commenced and therefore randomly fronted.

‘Think someone mentioned it already but [by] the time they made this [ad], they haven’t finished their filming. Thus they just putted [sic] random people on the pic. ‘

Another person theorised that they used the most popular faces of the show for the poster.

‘I think they just use whoever is most popular / easy to attract viewers in rather than based on who makes it far (plus it’s already mentioned these are done before filming is done). Steph has a huge IG following so makes sense why she’s front and centre.’

‘Laura definitely won’t go before top 10,’ another person confidently predicted.
