He was sent home packing on Sunday’s episode of MasterChef: Back to Win.

And it appears Khanh Ong has developed a thrill for reality television, after he admitted he would appear on the gay version of The Bachelor.

When asked by Now to Love on Monday if he would be up for it, the 27-year-old said: ’24 gay men in a house vying for the attention of one gay man – why?’

‘You know what, I would do that show. I won’t be the Bachelor though,’ he continued.

‘I want to be in the house with the other 23 gay men!’ he said. 

Khanh was sent home after failing to impress the judges with his quail dish on MasterChef: Back to Win.

One fan believed he left the kitchen already a winner, commenting.

‘Khanh is loved, admired and respected by the judges and all the other contestants. Says it all really. A champion bloke and a brilliant chef.’ 

Khanh was eliminated from the competition because his dish ‘lacked finesse and the cooking of the quail was less than perfect’, judge Melissa Leong explained.
