Former AFL player Nick Riewoldt Celebrity MasterChef 2021.
He wins $100,000 for his chosen charity, Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision, named after his late sister.
The challenge involved a 4 hour cook of a Martin Benn-created Metropolis dessert, a deadly, contemporary mix of chocolate, mousse, biscuit, cherry, coconut and more.
Despite issues mid-cook Riewoldt persisted and served up a near-perfect dish.
He scored 38 out of a possible 40 points, defeating Tilly Ramsay on 34 points and Colette Dinnigan on 30 points.
There is an emotional element in terms of the charity that I’m playing for and this will make a tangible difference to people’s lives,” he said.
“I finally get to lift some silverware, that’s been a missing chapter. I’ve been a part of teams for a long time, and this is one of the great teams that I’ve felt privileged to be part of.”
10 greenlit the series, its second Celebrity version, mid year when border lockdowns impacted on other production schedules.

I’ve never watched a full series of Masterchef before but really liked some of the participants so decided to give it a go. Was really lovely to see all the camaraderie even in the final they were helping each other.
Great series. Although I don’t know why they were all saying they weren’t good cooks!
I was hoping that Tilly would win but was glad that Nick won its a shame that they couldn’t have had their families watching the winner announced live on Skype or FaceTime
They were going to but changed their mind, if Tilly lost they were scared Gordon would go on a famous rant.
Rebecca had been my favourite to win but after her last dish I chose Nick. He’s a genuine nice guy and consistent all through the ten weeks.
Well deserved win!
Can’t wait for Foodies and Favourites next year!!
He was the most consistent and seemed like a genuine nice guy and the money for the charity would’ve meant a lot to him.
That was a pretty good series and a worthy finale and a great winner, can’t ask for more than that. Master Chef is definitely back…
The next series Foodies vs Favourites should be a good one too…
I chimed in and out of this series but got quite interested from the top 6 onwards. They appeared to be a close knit group (especially Rebecca and Tilly) and quite down to earth celebrities. My favourite episode was at Vue de monde with executive chef Hugh Allen – someone get him on screen more regularly!
Agree re Hugh Allen. I expect he will be a regular visitor to MCA kitchen.
It was a pleasure to see the one who showed off the least and was most consistent win .
A great series. Likeable celebrities and challenges.
A well deserved win.
As a newbie to MC I really enjoyed this celebrity season!
