There’s one thing many of us have been doing more than usual over the past 18 months, and that’s watching TV. And despite being spoilt for choice when it comes to streaming services, it seems our appetite for reality TV hasn’t waned. In this week’s issue, Jane Rocca speaks to TV host Melissa Leong about life in the spotlight, including as co-host of Channel 10’s reality cooking show, Celebrity MasterChef Australia 2021. Meanwhile, Rachelle Unreich speaks to Melbourne artist Sai-Wai Foo about what it is like to be a reality TV star – in her case, on Ten’s crafty competition show Making It. ●

really, really good at what I do and I am incredibly capable.”
Totally real CHANNEL TEN
ven though Melbourne artist Sai-Wai Foo didn’t see herself ending up on a reality TV show, she did have some aspirations in that field. “I’ve always wanted to be on Married at First Sight as a wedding guest, being that person who says to camera: ‘What are they thinking?’ But my friends are all selfish and refuse to go on the show,” she laughs. She might be half-joking, but she must have known she’d make for good TV. So, when the chance arose to be a contestant in the new Channel Ten crafty competition show Making It, she jumped. “Things had slowed down for me in terms of creative stuff, and when I decided to go for it, I realised that the pandemic had given me this opportunity and time to do something ridiculously silly and so out of my comfort zone. I thought, ‘I can’t go away on holiday, so this is the next best thing!’” In the show’s first episode, it’s clear she approaches her work with a sly sense of humour. When asked to create her spirit animal, she made a snacking panda – a felt panda cushion that also had a secret pocket to stuff sweet treats in. Foo says that it’s 100 per cent her on screen. “I’m not a good enough
actress to pretend I’m anyone else … What you see is me – fuelled on more caffeine and Berocca than normal.” But there is a more serious side to her appearance, too. Born in Malaysia, 46-year-old Foo emigrated to Australia as a young child, and wanted to do the show “for representation”. “I love this country fiercely and I am very proudly Australian, but there are things I don’t like about this country as well,” she says. “The
amount of casual racism I experience or get second-hand is extraordinary. As much as I think Australia is a tolerant society and Australians at large are amazing, there’s this undercurrent too, and when I’m exposed to it, it’s a real shock.” Foo is glad that Making It displays “a mix of people, a good cross-section, which was refreshing”. “The more that’s normalised on commercial television the better, because growing up I didn’t see that much colour on screen, and it was a big deal when I did.” Having studied fashion at RMIT, Foo eventually worked with her university pal Toni Maticevski (and still works with him today) while developing her art practice and exhibiting her mixed-media artworks. She recently signed to Australian Galleries and will have a new show by year’s end, tentatively titled Late Bloom. Foo says her appearance on Making It helped her work through some issues – “it was cheaper than therapy!” – allowed her to pay tribute to her Chinese heritage and gave her more confidence. “I realised I am really, really good at what I do and I am incredibly capable. We’re not encouraged to say that about ourselves but going on the show I realised: I have a total right to take that space and be there,” she says. ● MAKING IT AUSTRALIA \ 7.30pm Wednesdays and Thursdays, Channel 10 ● 10play.com.au/making-itaustralia

COVER STORY
Audiences love her, but MasterChef Australia host Melissa Leong says, in reality, she’s an introvert.
T
elevision personality Melissa Leong never considered how fame could affect her life, but the MasterChef Australia host admits she’s had to draw a few metaphorical lines in the sand since she went from food writer to bona fide TV superstar. There’s been a marriage breakdown she’s tried to keep out of the headlines, and she’s changed friendship circles, but she continues to chase her biggest buzz – a bountiful work life that brings high-profile chefs, restaurateurs and celebrities into her orbit. “I find the notion of celebrity and fame dubious at best,” Leong says. “It is not something I am entirely comfortable with. I love my job and understand that an implication of that success is being recognised, and with that comes people who want to know things about you. It sounds reasonable on paper, but in reality, it’s weird.” Arriving as one of the new hosts of MasterChef Australia in 2020 saw Leong’s career shift from cruise control to fast lane. Audiences fell in love with her foodie banter and indulged in the “we’re all in this together” inclusivity she brought to the competition – changing the tone of the show entirely.

Up close and personal
Wo r d s
Every aspect about her on-screen life has been written about or turned into morning radio conversation – from the sensual nature in which she tastes food (a skill she has said was perfected by occasionally observing herself in the mirror) to whether she’ll find a spot on the desk at The Project. Oh, the rumour mill is real in her world. She’s spoken about her anxiety and never shied from revealing she started therapy in her 20s. The only difference now is that everyone is watching, given she’s in the public eye. Leong happily leans into the power she holds as a social media influencer beyond what happens on set, embracing the joys of fashion with fans ready to inhale her every move. A quick Google search reveals consumer websites luring you to recreate her style icon moments, one episode at a time (with built-in purchases, too). From last year’s obsession with “what earrings will she be wearing” on the show to magazines writing about head-to-toe looks, Leong might be shy of the camera but knows how to work it. A recent post of her wearing an embroidered Zara midi dress with a Gucci belt sent her followers into a spin, keen to clone immediately. “I’m actually an introvert,” Leong says. “I am grateful I get to do a job I love and have people love what I do, but I don’t revel in walking into a room full of people or having eyes on me all of the time.” The Lexus ambassador, who will judge this year’s Emerging Designer Award for Myer’s Fashions On Your Front Lawn during a new age for the Spring Racing Carnival for a second

year running, has spent her pandemic year working and counts her blessings that she hasn’t been affected much, beyond a desire to travel to Sydney to see her family. She does call her mother every day. A new season of Celebrity MasterChef Australia kicks off this month, bringing together some of the biggest names – from fashion designer Collette Dinnigan to Olympian Ian Thorpe and AFL star Nick Riewoldt – to show us their skills in the kitchen. But can celebrities actually cook? “Yes, they sure can,” Leong says. Filmed in a snappy one-month turnaround due to tight schedules, the show might be raising money for charities, but the pressure in the kitchen can reduce the stars to tears. “It’s not just a show of who can we bring in with a name; it’s those who can cook a meal and get it on a plate,” Leong says. “It’s been a secret passion of theirs for a long time, and they usually cook for family and friends at home. To see them do that and reveal yet another side to what they can do is amazing. “Having 10 people in the kitchen who are at the top of their game, and have been for decades in their field, and see them in this position of vulnerability is really brave. They definitely bring a different energy to the show.” A white ragu boils on the stove in the background, and Leong will head out to her backyard later to cook chicken over some coals – for someone who tastes food all day long, she’s still inspired to get into her own kitchen and whip up a meal. “Yes, I do talk about food and eat food all day, but I still love coming
home and cooking. I always have,” she says. She keeps fit doing Pilates and meditation and has settled into a new home since splitting from her husband late last year. “What is essential for me right now is creating my safe space,” Leong says. “Home is an important concept for me. It’s somewhere I need to feel like I am completely myself.” With tabloid media keen to know her every move, Leong is doing her best to keep her private life out of the headlines. When she shared a photo on Instagram of her new beau, it sent the media in a spin. “I try to be as real and honest as I can, and keep my private life separate as much as possible,” she says. “I am known for telling it like it is. I don’t think I will ever completely shut the door on talking about myself in the context of the things I go through. If that helps someone else feel less alone then I am all for that. “But, there is a fine line to tread. It’s a tough balance to strike keeping the personal for yourself, but an important one as a human being because we need to be protective of ourselves. “For me, it comes down to intuition. I do what feels right for me,” Leong says. “COVID has been a time of tremendous clarity for people – that may mean changes in relationship status or friendship status, but it’s a perspective thing.” ● CELEBRITY MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA \ Coming soon. ● 10play.com.au

HAMPTON QUARTER \ LANDMARK PRECINCT BY THE BEACH
I
nspired by its beachside locale, this landmark precinct designed by foremost Australian architects ARM and JAM is generating exceptional interest. Just 220 metres from the beach with a backdrop of uninterrupted bay and CBD views, Hampton Quarter is conceived for relaxed coastal living. The project comprises four individual, unique buildings designed to work together to create an exceptional modern coastal village precinct. Construction has begun; the buildings will rise from four to seven levels and collectively accommodate 154 apartments and five townhouses when completed in 2023. Each building features an exclusive rooftop garden designed by Rush Wright Associates, celebrating outdoor living with barbecue and dining areas and relaxation zones. An outdoor gym and a 25-metre rooftop pool are open to all residents. The precinct’s new streetscape will connect with Hampton Village and provide outdoor dining in an expansive plaza and a retail promenade with cafes, restaurants and boutiques. ● LIZ McLACHLAN

Clever design makes the most of rooftop and city skyline views and gives an airy, open feel to this north-facing house in Dorcas Street. The stylish, contemporary property is built over three levels and the living areas are on the top floor. Clean lines, classic decor and quality appointments make a comfortable and elegant home in a quiet and convenient spot, close to the city and to all that makes South Melbourne a coveted area. At ground level, there is parking for two cars, a laundry and storage along with a bedroom with built-in wardrobe and en suite. This would make an excellent home office. The first floor is the bedroom zone and the luxurious main bedroom is spacious and beautifully appointed. The en suite here has a bath, oversized shower and twin hand basins. The second bedroom also has an en suite and opens to a balcony. There is a fitted study between the two bedrooms. A lovely long expanse of living area opening to a full-width timber-decked terrace makes up the second floor. In the lounge area, a gas log fire makes a cosy spot, there is a builtin entertainment cupboard, and the hardwood floors add warmth. The kitchen is well-equipped with ample storage, a sit-up island bench, stone bench tops and Miele appliances. There is a powder room on this floor and a dumb waiter lift services all levels. The house has a five-star energy rating, alarm system, intercom, ducted vacuum system and solar hot water. The development has landscaped gardens and mature trees and Park Towers Reserve is next door.
