July 23, 2019 10:41

The second last episode of Ten’s Masterchef has drawn 742,000 metro viewers ahead of the grand finale tonight.

It was a jump on last Monday night’s 667,000 metro viewers, and comes as there is increased scrutiny on judge George Calombaris in the wake of his wages scandal. There have been calls for Calombaris to be removed from the show, but Ten is standing by him.
