1. “I’ll just go take that now.” The story behind Melissa Leong’s mid-MasterChef phone call.

If you were watching MasterChef last night, you would have noticed judge Melissa Leong stop to take a phone call in the middle of the show.

After the contestants competed in a challenge at the Thai Ute restaurant in Melbourne’s Ringwood East, Melissa along with fellow judges Jock Zonfrillo and Andy Allen were going through the night’s meals.

“As for the mains,” Melissa began, before a phone started ringing in the background.

“And the phone’s ringing so I’ll just go take that now,” she said, while the contestants stood confused.

“What is she doing?” Khanh whispered off camera.

But it turns out this wasn’t just a ploy to draw out the judging process. Instead, Mel just didn’t want the restaurant to miss out on a call from a potential customer.

“Hello, Thai Ute!” Mel answered the phone. “For tomorrow, a reservation, right?” she asked, before confirming a (very early) 5pm dinner booking.

“Thank you so much, not a problem, bye!” she said.

The contestants were quick to applaud Mel once they realised what was going on.

She then joined her place between Jock and Andy, “Right, where were we?” she said.

After that, we somehow love her even more.

2. Just days after arriving at a rehab facility, Scott Disick has checked out of rehab.

Scott Disick has checked himself out of rehab, just seven days after checking in.

The 36-year-oldKeeping Up With the Kardashiansstar has reportedly been experiencing ongoing emotional issues since the loss of both of his parents over a three month period in 2014.

“In an effort to finally come to terms and deal with the pain that Scott has been silently suffering for many years due to the sudden death of his mother, followed by the death of his father three months later, Scott made the decision to check himself into a rehab facility last week to work on his past traumas,” Disick’s lawyer, Marty Singer, said in a statementon Monday.

But after a photo was leaked of the star from inside the facility, his lawyer added: “Shockingly as a result of the HIPAA violation of the facility and his violation of privacy, he has checked himself out and is immediately returning home. We are alarmed by this extreme invasion of privacy and plan to take immediate legal action.”

This isn’t the first time Scott has been checked into rehab, but his lawyer has maintained that this visit was not drug or alcohol-related.
