Brent Draper Drops Out 

Brent Draper, a popular Masterchef Show contestant from Queensland, made it public before one of the Aussie’s popular shows that he needed to drop out and deal with some issues. 

It was such a dramatic turn when Brent, who many people follow, spoke to one of the judges, Jock Zonfrillo, that he would no longer take part in the show. 

According to Brent, he was dropping out to sort out his health issues as it affected his cooking, sleep and everything directly related to the competition. In his statement, he didn’t want to quit, but it was his only last option. 

“I think I’ve come to the point where that’s all that’s going to help me. Getting home, sorting myself out,” said Brent.

After the show, Brent took it to Instagram to address his followers and explain what happened or why he had to leave the show in such an unexpected way. 

In his Instagram post, he revealed that things began to fall apart when his mom fell ill before the Masterchef filming started. Then it all got worse when they went into quarantine, admitting that quarantine has never been any fun because he has once been there—not once but twice.

He notified his followers that he saw a psychologist and a doctor help him overcome all these traumas and return to shape. He also affirmed that he was still cooking with his family and would get back on track soon.
