Taking to her Instagram Stories on Friday, Melissa asked fans what they would like to read about in the book, prompting a whole range of responses. One eager fan asked her if she would be including any 'behind the scenes MasterChef stories', to which Melissa replied that she would be.

Melissa Leong (pictured) has teased that she will be lifting the lid on her time on MasterChef Australia in an upcoming book release. In an Instagram post, Melissa teased that she will be dishing on 'a bunch' of 'behind the scenes' MasterChef stories in a memoir she is currently working on.
'Oh there are a bunch, don't you worry,' she teased in a cryptic reply. She also revealed that she will be discussing other aspects of her career including her little-known passion for UFC while every chapter will also include a recipe. However, Melissa urged fans to stop asking her about aspects of her life she has 'publicly drawn a line' under as she hinted some things will be off limits in the book.
