A love of food is in Sumeet blood, embedded deep in her Punjabi culture and engrained in her family upbringing.

Dubbed sunshine in human form, Alex shone her light in the MasterChef Australia kitchen for 2024. One of the fan favourites this year who sadly got the chop this week and I admit I am shook. 

Despite earning a double degree in Science (Human Biology) and Design (Fine Arts), it is food that’s become the founding stone of Alex’s career, working in fine food sales and specialising in gourmet products, cheeses and small-goods amongst other delicacies. 

Her daily exposure to the food scene has further fuelled the fire inside, and Alex knows that cooking is not just a hobby, it’s her true calling in life and I can not wait to see where she takes her Masterchef journey.

I loved catching up with Alex I haven’t laughed as hard as this in a while. I actually edited out most of my laughing as I sounded like fog horn leg horn!

Each comedian will get scored and the person with the most amount of points wins the season.

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with the winner of Channel Nine’s The Summit! Which finished this week in a nail biting and somewhat polarising finale!

In the last episode we saw an obstacle challenge for the final hikers' nerves, plus a brutal sacrifice. Then it all ended with in agonising decision for one hiker; the ascent to the summit was never going to be easy and I have all the behind the scenes goss!

I have to say I don’t usually see as much negativity online for a decision on a reality show and I am disappointed that so many people have been saying Charlotte should have split the money evenly… it is a game and we all don’t know what we would have done in Charlotte's situation.

• We will unpack trolls online and how to deal with the comments section. With some insights into who have been her biggest supporters and what Charlottes friendship looks like with Simmone and Matt!
• Charlotte will talk about her disability and what she did to prepare for the show. Including what we didn’t see was a big disadvantage!
