My MasterChef wedding
MasterChef’s Jonathan Daddia is prepared for anything in the kitchen. And when it comes to romance, the aspiring chef is equally well organised.

In between shooting scenes for the TV cooking competition, Jonathan crammed in a walk down the aisle that had been thrown into doubt by his success in the kitchen … and a honeymoon!

“At the end of the first week of top 50 we had a weekend off, so I snuck away and got married,” says Jonathan, 33, of his wedding to Mandy, 28. “But I was rushed off for filming the next day.

“Then when I made it through to the top 24, it looked like we’d lose our honeymoon. Luckily, we had another quick break and – following a lot of pleading with travel agents and resort owners – I managed to shift our honeymoon to the Maldives into that tiny gap!”

Jonathan originally won Mandy’s heart with a six-course dinner including champagne and oysters, tuna sashimi, beef fillet with herb crust, and créme brûlée with twisted almond biscuits.

Shame about the word crammed to describe his wedding, doesn't sound very romantic. MC 1st, wedding 2nd.
This is a surprise! I would have thought he was gay

True Confessions Agony Aunt: I hate my StepsonTrue Confessions Agony Aunt: I hate my StepsonAre you kidding me?? For all these people who have commented " you don't know what it's like to be a step parent" blah blah blah.... who are you trying to kid?? And for those saying that you have your own kids and step kids and the step kids are manipulative etc etc, are you blind and dumb? Your kids are not perfect either i bet! I bet your kids are just as rude when you are not around! I have a 12 year old daughter and i have been with my partner for 5 years. He struggles alot with my daughter because she gives him hell. She has said several times she wishes it was just me and her again, but because my partner loves me he sticks it out and knows that it's just her trying to get her own way. He loves her and would do anything for her no matter what she does, that's what's good parents do. If you can't warm to a child or don't like your soon to be step child then dont marry the parent. You are just being selfish otherwise. Just imagine if the shoe was on the other foot...b81die, Brisbane29 CommentsPost commentView comments

Yes the type of cancer was one of the least lethal but none the less she had cancer attacking her body. she had chemo, i've watched some of my closest friends on chemo and it is always so horrific. She has pushed past that and made brilliant songs. Her music is heartfelt. She sis so beautiful and in her flim clips she dresses with dignity and respect unlike other artist who just let everything hang out and sing about sex, drugs and alcohol. She was put on the voice because she is ment to be there the people who run the show chose her. don't like it ? simple don't watch it. If you don't like her as an artist fine, don't buy her albums. She is human and she has feelings, give the woman a break.Cathh.Ann, QLD, Gold Coast27 CommentsPost commentView comments Darren Hayes dishes: I know the real DeltaDarren Hayes dishes: I know the real DeltaI love her !!wiz, melbourne16 CommentsPost commentView comments Grant and Candice: Why they splitGrant and Candice: Why they splitGive the guy a break!
