Reese replied to his many fans on Twitter, confessing he’s had it for some time.
‘I got it off ASOS about 8 years ago, it’s vintage,’ he wrote.

Speaking to News.com.au, Brendan explained how he turned to Reece for advice, when they both starred in season 10 of the franchise back in 2018.
‘I’d always kind of looked up to Reece as a role model. When I was eliminated we spent a bit of time together before I left to come home, and I just opened up to him,’ Brendan told the publication.
‘He was surprised but he was happy. It was a really special moment and he’s like a brother to me now,’ the Perth-based contestant added.

Brendan came out as gay in an emotional Facebook post last year.
‘My name is Brendan Pang and I’m 26 years old… but, for as long as I can remember and up until the age of 24 I struggled with my sense of identity,’ he wrote.
‘As a gay male, I had feelings of being “different” very early on, and as I navigated the bumpy road into adulthood, I went through some pretty dark times from feeling pressured to change who I was, to experiencing high levels of social anxiety.
‘Thankfully, with the help of a strong and supportive network (my family and friends), I was able to not only survive the complexity of mental health, but thrive and become a stronger, happier, comfortable and proud ME.’
MasterChef continues Sunday at 7.30pm on Channel Ten
