MasterChef’s Poh Ling Yeow hints at exciting new homewares business venture as she shares a glimpse at her new fabric designs

She’s the beloved MasterChef Australia contestant who runs successful café Jamface.

And it seems Poh Ling Yeow is now hoping to expand into the non-consumables market, after she teased an exciting new business with retailer Harris Scarfe and homewares brand Mozi Australia. 

On Saturday, the 47-year-old celebrity chef shared a photo of her fabric designs to Instagram and wrote: ‘So excited to finally see my designs on fabric swabs.’

‘Something really exciting is about to happen with @moziaustralia !!!!! @harrisscarfe,’ she added.

One design was printed on a light blue fabric emblazoned with a vegetable-themed print, while the other was black-and-white print featuring a dog-inspired pattern.   

Mozi is known for its quirky and unique range of kitchen accessories, including aprons, oven mitts and table cloths.

Poh recently returned to work at Jamface in Adelaide after being eliminated from MasterChef: Back to Win.

She was also set to open a café at Adelaide Airport by the end of the year, but these plans have been delayed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

The chef runs her business with husband Jono Bennett, ex-husband Matt Phipps and his wife, her best friend of 20 years, Sarah Rich.

Poh has made no secret of the unusual arrangement, saying in multiple interviews that the four of them are adults who manage to make things work.

‘He’s my ex-husband. She’s my best friend. And when we broke up, they got together and it’s all dandy. It’s actually really good!’ she told Mamamia in 2017.

Poh married her first husband, Matt Phipps, in 1990 when they were both practising Mormons.

When they agreed to divorce after nine years together, Matt moved on with her best friend of 20 years, Sarah Rich.

Poh met Jono in 2009 on the first season of MasterChef. She was a contestant while he was working behind the scenes as a runner.

They started dating after the show’s finale, and married five years later in 2014.
