The most wholesome reality show on Australian TV will return very soon, and we are really bloody excited about it.

Jock Zonfrillo, Melissa Leong and Andy Allen will return to judge as another 24 contestants battle it out for the title of MasterChef Australia and a cash prize of $250,000 whenMasterChef Australiareturns to Channel 10 on April 20.

While we wait to meet the whole new group of chefs to root for, we decided it was time to reminisce on the all-star pals we watched last year.

From fan favourites like Poh and Brendan to eventual winner Emelia, here is what's gone down with the top 10 contestants ofMasterChef Australia2020 since we last saw them on screen.

Emelia Jackson.

2020 was a pretty good year for Emelia Jackson; she wonMasterChef Australia: Back to Winand announced she is pregnant with her baby.

In December, Emelia said she and partner Craig Gersbach were expecting in June 2021.

"Excuse the toilet in the background but this baby is popping today.. Sous chef coming in June," she wrote next to a photo of her cradling her bump.

Since then, Emelia's been documenting her pregnancy and a heck load of drool-worthy sweet treats on Instagram.

The winner is also open to anotherMasterChefreturn, possibly even as a judge.

In November 2020, she told Who she would accept a judging gig "without a shadow of a doubt" if offered.

"That's like a dream job!" she said.

"It was so much fun being back there [as a guest judge on 2020'sJunior MasterChef] because a lot of what you don't see is how much the contestants bond with the crew on set as well so it was so nice being back in the kitchen and being on the other side of things was really interesting."

Laura Sharrad.

In March, runner-up Laura Sharrad wrote on Instagram that she wasn't okay.

She felt "sick", "violated", "unsafe", "disgusted" - all courtesy of a disturbing message sent to her via Instagram.

Laura didn't go into details about the nature of the message, except to say it was something "no woman should have to read".

"I feel a lot of things. All of them, bad things. Simply, it’s not OK," she wrote in an Instagram Story.

"I thought about posting this all afternoon, as I rarely share things about how I'm actually feeling. This is meant to be a happy place. Today I am not OK."

She later thanked her followers for their kind words and support, assuring them she would be okay.

In April, Laura was announced as one of the new hosts of Channel 10'sMy Market Kitchen.

She and husband Max are also preparing to open their second restaurant, Fugazzi, in Adelaide's CBD in May.

Dessert king Reynold Poernomo will be returning toMasterChefin 2021 in a guest role.

True to his reputation, he's recently enjoyed a very cool dessert-based partnership between his Sydney dessert bar Koi and Disney'sFrozen the Musical.
