Junior MasterChef Australia Returns to 10 in 2027, With Poh Ling Yeow And Special Guest Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

Get ready, Australia; Junior MasterChef Australia is back on the menu. Returning to 10 in 2027, the much-loved series will see Poh Ling Yeow joined by special guest Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, as they help guide the next generation of young culinary talent.

Six years after the nation’s youngest aspiring chefs last took over the kitchen, Junior MasterChef is set to return with a new generation of budding cooks ready to showcase their skills, creativity and passion for food.

An entrepreneur, actress, humanitarian and passionate home cook, Emmy-nominated Meghan previously joined the MasterChef Australia kitchen as a guest judge in 2026. Now, she returns to work alongside Poh and meet the young contestants as they embark on their own culinary journeys.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, said: “I had an incredible time with the whole team at MasterChef this past April, so when they approached me to come back and work with this young group of talent, it was an easy yes. I love cooking with my own kids, so seeing what these young stars create in the kitchen is going to be a lot of fun. I can’t wait to see what they cook up!”

With her Emmy nominated and globally celebrated series With Love, Meghan and her passion for home cooking, she was delighted to join MasterChef Australia in 2026, drawing the program’s largest Sunday audience since 2023. She previously appeared as a guest judge on Food Network’s Chopped Junior in the United States in 2016.

Poh will have a busy year ahead in 2027, returning to judge MasterChef Australia Season 19 alongside Andy Allen, Sofia Levin and Jean-Christophe Novelli, while also bringing her experience and enthusiasm to Junior MasterChef.

Poh Ling Yeow said: “I’m thrilled to bits that Junior MasterChef is returning to our screens. People often ask me whether it might come back, so I know the news will be met with plenty of excitement.

“I had a lovely time filming with Meghan earlier this year, and being reunited will be a real treat. I can’t wait to meet our pint-sized culinary adventurers - I’m expecting plenty of delicious surprises and a little mischief, too.”

With Poh’s culinary expertise and Meghan’s enthusiasm for cooking and nurturing young talent, Junior MasterChef Australia promises to serve up plenty of inspiration as the next generation of Australian cooks steps into the kitchen.

Junior MasterChef Australia is produced by Endemol Shine Australia (ESA), part of media and entertainment group Banijay Entertainment, and distributed internationally by Banijay Rights.

Secrets, Lies, And Housemates Arrive!

Meet The Cast Of Big Brother Australia 2026.

We promised you a season full of shocks, twists, and delightful surprises that will keep our housemates guessing, and Big Brother has already delivered. That's why their suitcases look so heavy... they're full of secrets!

From outside connections to an undercover brother, anything could happen this season... and anything WILL! But only one can be crowned our winner and take home the cash prize of $100,000!

Tonight, host Mel Tracina rolled out the red carpet for 14 new housemates, ushering them into our brand-new house in Bris-Vegas.

But relocating can be stressful and, unfortunately, a few things were delayed in the move including everyone's beds, the diary room chair, and the running water! Needless to say, the housemates were floored. No, really, they're sleeping on the floor!

Meet the housemates for Big Brother 2026:

Anita, 47, TAS
Travel advisor Anita is full of surprises. When she's not skateboarding, solo travelling or taking a mannequin on a road trip around Aus, she's spending time with her fam... like her sister, two-time Big Brother winner Reggie Bird!

Austin, 22, QLD
This 22-year-old chippy is keeping the family business thriving. Working every day alongside his dad and brother, Austin's bringing that classic young tradie energy into the house.

Charity, 29, NSW
Growing up as one of 13 siblings, living in the Big Brother house will be a breeze for Charity! Her life can be summed up with the three F's: family, faith, and FUN!

Ebony, 23, VIC
A self-made entrepreneur, Ebony is a boss in every sense and she's not afraid to tell you about it! She knows her strong opinions may rub people the wrong way... and that's their problem.

Harmon, 29, QLD
A jack of all trades, Harmon has done it all, from mining crypto to podcasting, the IT salesman is also a professional pot-stirrer. Growing up in a strict immigrant household, this cheeky troublemaker is ready to cause some chaos!

Heath, 23, QLD
Heath may seem like a golden retriever in human form, but under that charming smile is a strategic mind that is always ticking! The engineering student is super social, always up for anything, and can turn even the politest small talk into a genuine connection.

Kyrah, 25, NSW
You'll hear Kyrah before you see her! This secondary Drama and English teacher knows how to command a room! Academically razor-sharp, and endlessly disorganised, Kyrah's brain is full of random facts that will come in handy if Big Brother hosts a trivia night!

Marshy, 24, SA
Andrew, aka 'Marshy', is Toyota's current reigning forklift salesman in Australia. Looking to add another title to his mantle, the self-described 'Italian Jason Momoa' hopes to charm the nation with his gift of the gab, and ever-growing collection of budgie smugglers.

Matthew, 37, VIC
Matthew's ready to make his mark on the Big Brother house. Believing his huge personality to be his superpower, this property investor has no plans to tone it down. And if things get too heated, Matthew can diffuse things with some of his breakdancing moves.

Matty, 39, WA
Describing himself as the 'textbook Aussie bogan', Matty loves when people underestimate his intelligence. With a Mining Engineering degree and an MBA, Matty is quick witted, charming, and always down for a laugh.

Pam, 62, SA
This season's oldest housemate, Pam is outspoken, full of life, and fiercely competitive. Out to prove that age is just a number, Pam also has an upper hand when it comes to strategy, being the mum of former housemate Kieran Davidson!

Pheobe, 26, QLD
Self-appointed court jester Pheobe is a natural entertainer, but behind the jazz hands is a self-aware, ABBA obsessed young woman with terrible luck in love. Could Big Brother play matchmaker and find her 'A Man After Midnight'?

Ryan, 27, NSW
With the mouth of a tradie and the heart of his Nonna, garden-centre manager Ryan can make anyone feel like family, which makes sense considering his sister, Tahlia, is in the house with him!

Tahlia, 25, VIC
Taking the name Big Brother literally, Tahlia enters the house with her brother Ryan! With a dry sense of humour and an unbelievable ability to turn strangers into lifelong friends, Tahlia's hoping to charm the house before they clock her secret sibling!

Who will win? That's for Australia to decide!

Big Brother’s House Of Mystery And Mayhem Is Nearly Ready.

The Original Social Experiment Returns Monday, 26 October At 7.30pm On 10.

Big Brother has embraced the Brisbane lifestyle. In fact, he’s promising a season with more twists and turns than a drive to Mount Coot-tha.

Buckle in, because Big Brother and his all-seeing, all-scheming eye are back on 10 from Monday, 26 October, and this is going to be one wild ride.

Housemates be warned: this is no ordinary sleepover. Not everything is what it seems, and sleeping with one eye open won’t help when you can’t believe what you see. 

“Everywhere the housemates turn, the house turns on them,” said Big Brother.

Don’t worry, Big Brother doesn’t get all the fun: from night one, audiences will have more power than ever before.

Toss in a nominations twist, an eviction spin, and more pranks than you can poke a stick at, and the season is set to be the most unpredictable yet.

Look out, because the walls have eyes.

Big Brother Returns On Monday, 26 October at 7.30pm.

Meet The Cast Of Australian Survivor: Rivals.

A World-First Theme, New Location, And The Biggest Showdown Yet. Coming To 10 In 2027. 

Australian Survivor is going where it has never gone before - pitting some of the country's most celebrated sporting heroes, TV stars and everyday Aussies against each other in a showdown that will test the toughest among them. 

Two perfectly matched tribes will hit the beaches of Malaysia, with each player set to face off with someone on the other side who possesses the same strengths, physicality, smarts, drive, and charisma. 

To win the half-million-dollar prize, our castaways will not only have to Outwit, Outplay and Outlast all the other players; they will have to beat their Survivor rival to take the title of Sole Survivor. 

This year, Australian Survivor: Rivals heads to the spectacular new location of Malaysia, where host David Genat puts some of Australia’s fiercest real-world rivalries to the ultimate test. 

It’s League versus Union as Robbie Farah and Adam Ashley-Cooper go head-to-head, while AFL legends Heath Shaw and Adam Cooney reignite their fierce Collingwood v Essendon rivalry. 

Twin interior designers Alisa and Lysandra Fraser from The Block put their sibling bond to the ultimate test, while Olympic champions Kerri Pottharst and Danielle Scott pit the Summer and Winter Games against each other. 

Actors Bernard Curry and Lincoln Lewis bring some serious drama to the rivalry, while red carpet regulars Mitch Churi and Christian Wilkins battle to see who shines brightest. 

Athletes Sharni Layton and Sarah Yatim bring their competitive spirit from the game to the island, while two top lawyers swap the courtroom for the ultimate game of strategy. Joining them are a pair of vloggers, divas and rebels, alongside two formidable power mums.  

With unique strengths, personalities and rivalries, they will navigate the challenges, alliances and betrayals of the game - all in pursuit of the coveted title of Sole Survivor. 

They are playing the world’s greatest game against their greatest rivals. Who will come out on top?

Former Collingwood AFL player, Heath Shaw, said: “I’m coming on Australian Survivor to put myself in an uncomfortable position again and test the boundaries, which I haven’t done for a while.” 

Former Essendon AFL player, Adam Cooney, said: “It’s time to see if I’ve got any competitive juices left in me. Let’s bring back the Anzac Day rivalry between me and Heath. I never won a Grand Final and I didn’t beat Heath on Anzac Day either. But this is where I get my revenge, on Australian Survivor!” 

Twelve perfectly matched rivals across two perfectly matched tribes. But only one can overcome the odds and be the next Sole Survivor.
