TVNZ has reassured MasterChef fans that the cheating scandal that rocked the Australian version of the hit show could not happen here.
Mat Beyer was expelled after smuggling a smartphone on to the set. TVNZ publicist Meredith McGrath said all contestants had their phones taken from them during challenges.
Beyer was kicked off about a fortnight ago. The axing has thrown the show into disarray, with producers forced to recall an eliminated contestant.
