The MasterChef Australia star reveals his shocking new career move after a disastrous stint on the Channel 10 cooking show

A former MasterChef Australia star has revealed his surprising new career change after his disastrous stint on the Channel 10 cooking show.

Harry Foster appeared on seasons eight and twelve of the show, placing 3rd and 21st consecutively.

After his last piece on the reality show, he lashed out at producers for his lack of airtime.

Now Harry has completely left the culinary world behind, and this week he announced his new profession as a venomous snake handler.

He also accused Channel 10 of not sending him professional photos of his dishes from his latest episode to share on his social media platforms.
