'I had to look twice to double check it was you!' MasterChef star Poh Ling Yeow sends fans into overdrive as she returns to the hit show looking barely recognisable with a blunt bob
She rose to fame on MasterChef Australia back in 2009, where she placed runner-up on the show after winner Julie Goodwin.
And on Tuesday, Poh Ling Yeow sent fans into overdrive as she returned to the hit cooking program to mentor current contestants.
Fans flocked to her Instagram page to comment on Poh's short bob, which has left the now 46-year-old looking almost unrecognisable.

This week, Poh told Watch that she almost didn't audition for the show when she wanted to be a contestant, because she was worried about being on TV and how she would be portrayed.
Poh said she didn't attend her second audition, saying: 'The producers called me and asked where I was. "Oh, just walking my dogs..." I said.'
She said that she told them that she was 'scared.'
'They're very good at the psychology these producers, they told me, "you're not even at the bridge yet, cross it when you get to it. You haven't even done your second audition."
