Poh Ling Yeow, the new host of MasterChef Australia, has ringed in the new year with some very cheeky selfies.
The celebrity chef, who recently turned 50, took to Instagram on Wednesday to post two photos of herself topless baking in the sun in her garden, with nothing but a sun hat concealing her modesty.
Fresh-faced Poh beamed and pouted at the camera as she sprawled out on a pile of pillows, looking decades younger than her 50 years.
In her caption, the chef admitted that she overworked herself during the holiday season and finally forced herself to take a break.
'Well, you know that? I finally got my affairs in order and have the day off,” she began.

“It's not a joke, it's really hard on my brain type because my mode is either work psychologically or pretend to relax, but test a recipe and repot eleven plants while writing seven kinds of to-do lists.”
Poh noted that being too conscientious is a “problem” in her relationships, and that she likely inherited the trait from her Aunt Kim.
'[Kim] She's been a housewife all her life, but even now that mom is gone and it's just her and her dad in the house, she has a schedule like the Prime Minister's,” she mused.

Poh admitted that she has many friends who also struggle to relax and “feel guilty about resting properly.”
“Technology speeds up life and we can't possibly think we can get away with increasing our processing speed in such an unnatural way without any consequences,” she continued.
'So one of the priorities this year is learning to rest. Can I do it? Let's see.'
