Reece Hignell and Poh Ling Yeow particularly won viewers’ hearts, when they were left speechless by the Firework hitmaker.  

‘I thought Poh was going to faint,’ commented one MasterChef fan. 

While another wrote: ‘Reece is turning the colour of his top after seeing Katy Perry.’

However, not everyone was a fan, with some labelling the zany singer’s high energy hard to swallow.

‘Katy Perry is just too much, I’m tired of this,’ complained one at-home viewer. 

‘Honestly, why is Katy Perry a guest judge, she just said she was fussy eater. I mean it was fun and cute seeing all the fans reactions for five minutes but now I’m over it,’ quipped another.

The MasterChef competitors had no idea the singer was scheduled to be a guest judge until she walked in halfway through the immunity challenge.

In the episode, the cooks were tasked with whipping up a hot and cold dish, in homage to the singer and show’s theme song – Hot N Cold. 

Katy filmed the guest appearance when she was in Australia in March.
