‘Burn it again!’ MasterChef winner Emelia Jackson cracks a joke at injured runner-up Laura Sharrad’s expense during interview on The Project
She was crowned the winner of MasterChef Australia: Back To Win on Monday night.
On Tuesday, Emelia Jackson appeared on The Project to reflect on her momentous victory, and ended up cracking a joke at runner-up Laura Sharrad’s expense, who suffered a serious burn on the night.
‘Emelia, we often see injuries in AFL grand finals, NRL grand finals, rarely do we see an injury in the MasterChef grand final,’ Peter Helliar began.

He continued: ‘We had Laura who burnt her hand. When you saw that she burnt her hand, did you think, hang on?’
Without missing a beat, Emelia replied jokingly: ‘This is what I need! Burn it again!’
Carrie Bickmore later went on to ask the 30-year-old who she felt would win when they entered the competition for the first time.
‘100% had Laura picked to win from the start,’ she replied, before adding: ‘I just thought her industry experience is amazing and her talent is just mind-blowing.’

Emelia took home a whopping $250,000 on Monday night – which she says will help build her cake business – and the MasterChef 2020 trophy.
The emotional chef embraced runner-up Laura, who was undone by her overly icy gelato dessert, which was accidentally left in an open freezer.
Emelia was elated at her win, crying out, ‘Are you serious? Are you serious?’ over and over in delight.
Happy: ‘I just can’t believe it. It’s been the most special experience of my life and I owe it all to the three of you,’ she said, pointing to judges Melissa Leong, Andy Allen and Jock Zonfrillo, before paying homage to her competitor: ‘And I owe it to this little lady’
