Poh Ling Yeow Praises Meghan's 'Steel Will'

Poh Ling Yeow, Meghan Markle's co-host for Junior MasterChef Australia, has voiced strong support for the Duchess of Sussex, defending her against criticism of a new role. Yeow described Meghan's resilience, stating, "the woman has a will of steel," and expressed admiration for her.

Yeow suggested that controversy often surrounds Meghan due to public insatiability. She noted experiencing some backlash by association but found it manageable. The Australian TV host also copped some heat by association, explaining, "I guess I was latently experiencing it because some of it even came my way but it's like, it's fine."

Meghan is slated to film a Junior MasterChef Australia spinoff series over two weeks in May 2027, with the season expected to air later that year. This follows her guest appearance on the show last year. Meghan expressed enthusiasm for working with young talent, stating it was an "easy yes" and that she looks forward to seeing what the young chefs create.

Yeow, a judge on the current MasterChef Australia and a former runner-up, is excited about reuniting with Meghan. She anticipates a "real treat" and is eager to meet the young contestants, expecting "delicious surprises and a little mischief."
