MasterChef’s Sarah Tiong shocks fans by revealing her mystery injury

What happened? MasterChef’s Sarah Tiong shocks fans by revealing her mystery injury as she shares footage of herself walking on crutches

She was eliminated from MasterChef last month after her jungle curry failed to impress the judges during an intense pressure test.

And it appears that Sarah Tiong’s run of bad luck continued outside of the competition, as the fan favourite appears to have recently suffered a mystery injury.

On Thursday, the 29-year-old lawyer posted a video to Instagram Stories of herself walking on crutches.

‘Oh my god, guys. I have literally just had to stop and take a rest in the middle of my driveway,’ Sarah said.

‘I’m exhausted and it’s really hard moving around on crutches,’ she added.

The talented chef did not disclose how she had sustained the injury.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Sarah for comment.

It comes after Sarah released her new cookbook titled Sweet, Savory, Spicy: Exciting Street Market Food from Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia and More.

Last week, in a clever stroke of marketing, she shared a series of videos to Instagram of herself gifting the book to her MasterChef co-stars.

The thrilled foodies included Poh Ling Yeow, Callum Hann, Jess Liemantara and Amina Elshafei, who all looked delighted with the gift.

Poh, 47, beamed while clutching the hardback edition, while a dapper-looking Callum, 31, told Sarah he was ‘so excited’ to receive a copy.

Sarah touchingly described the contestants as ‘two legends I have always admired from afar and now am so lucky to call friends’.
