Meaning behind Declan Cleary's NSFW comment about eliminated favourite Beau Cook on MasterChef revealed
MasterChef Australia: Back to Win fans were left devastated on Sunday when favourite Beau Cook was eliminated from the competition. But his mate and fellow contestant Declan Cleary lifted the mood with what appeared a raunchy joke about being 'featured' in the firefighter's next cookbook. The judges and stars appeared to be in the know, but some viewers may not have realised just what the scandalous comment meant - until now. Beau, 40, first appeared on MasterChef in 2012 where he finished in eighth place on season four - the same year current judge Andy Allen was crowned the winner. In the following years, Beau made a name for himself in the food industry and even wrote the raunchy Food Porn Cookbook in 2017. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The blurb on the back reads: 'The cookbook that brings together our favourite preoccupations: FOOD AND SEX. '40 DELICIOUS RECIPES paired with naked bodies & hilarious innuendo... The perfect gift for foodies or those who have a cheeky sense of humour. 'Let's start with the hors d'oeuvres: Take equal portions of great ingredients and beautiful bodies. Stir well. Leave for an hour or so to soak. 'Knock discreetly before entering the kitchen,' the blurb finished, with the book featuring several pictures of naked couples. Co-star Declan, 27, made reference to the cheeky book on Sunday as Beau was sent home after he failed to impress the judges with his spin on a 'spider' drink. 'Gonna miss my mate, Beau, for sure. We really clicked from day one. He's been an awesome mate to hang out with,' Declan began, 'But I know he'll go home and working on cookbook volume two. As long as I get a featured in the next one.' The judges and remaining cooks burst into stunned laughter over the racy joke before giving their farewells to Beau. Beau was sent home on Sunday when he failed to impress the judges in the 'childhood classics' challenge. His dish was an attempt to recreate a 'spider', a favourite from his boyhood, made up of ice cream and cola. However, Beau added a unique twist to the dessert combining rum, roasted macadamia crumble, vanilla ice cream, stewed sour cherries and cola flavoured granita. But the combination of flavours fell flat for the judges who felt the dish did not quite capture the magic of an authentic 'spider'. During the elimination, judge Andy Allen said while Beau's dish was enjoyable it 'really missed the mark on recreating that childhood joy we were after'. After listening to the disappointing verdict, Beau was asked by judge Sofia Levin whether he had surprised himself during the competition. 'Not getting booted off first,' Beau joked and added: 'The best bits have been hanging out with these guys. 'Looking back now, I should have just made a spider. I should have made a fizzy cola and dunked the ice cream in there.' 'That would have been so much more playful and simple, and I think that would've got me across the line,' he told 10Play later. He also revealed he was out to release an alcoholic hard lemon drink from all-natural ingredients called Wildpoint in July. 'That's the passion project. For me, I love cooking for family and friends, but it's not a career... I love food and produce, so making something like Wildpoint is really exciting.'

Fans mock MasterChef Australia stars Declan Cleary and Sarah Todd over 'cringe' flirty Instagram messages - after confirming age-gap romance
MasterChef Australia 's lovebirds Declan Cleary and Sarah Todd are continuing to show off their age gap romance on social media. This week, Declan appeared in a video posted to Instagram in which he made some fresh fish he caught in a creek. The chef, 27, caught the eye of his love, Sarah, 38, who was quick to comment below the video. 'What a feast…and how gorgeous that spot is' she wrote to which Declan replied, 'Nearly as gorgeous as you'. Fans replied to the flirty exchange, with one writing, 'ew gross…. I'm jealous' with someone else agreeing, 'so jealous'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Another said 'cringe' while yet one more person chimed in with, 'stop it'. Declan and Sarah both appeared in the Back To Win series this year, and have gone public with their romance on Instagram. Recently, Declan left a suggestive comment on Sarah's recent video, which showed her pairing mango, salt and chilli in 'a weird food combination' that she claims just 'works'. 'What's your weirdest food combo that actually works? I'm testing out weird food pairings and had to kick it off with one I secretly love…' Sarah captioned the post, which has garnered over 4,000 likes since being posted. '@HotToddyChilli Birdseye, mango and salt. Don't judge, it's already a fave in India! Swap it for green mango and it's game over,' she ended the post. Fans of the foodie flooded the comments with praise for the unorthodox pairing, while also suggesting their own strange combinations. However, Declan raised the temperature in the comments section with his own 'saucy' pairing. 'Wow I bet some hot toddy would work well on papaya with lime and salt,' he cheekily wrote. The remark, though alluding to Sarah's chilli brand Hot Toddy, also came across as flirty, considering her surname is Todd. Sarah and Declan went public with their relationship earlier this month, revealing that they have already moved in together following the high-pressure show. Speaking to Stellar Magazine, Declan admitted that despite their big age gap, the pair 'instantly got along', which saw them spend lots of time together behind the scenes.
