Controversial celebrity chef Pete Evans debuts wild new mullet haircut

Disgraced celebrity chef Pete Evans has resurfaced on Instagram with a wild new mullet haircut, looking worlds away from his days as a clean cut TV star.

The former My Kitchen Rules judge, 50, sported a rugged look in a video for his Evolve Wellness retreat, in which he is seen cooking burgers on a barbecue.

His brown hair was done up in a scruffy mullet and he sported a rugged five o’clock shadow as he took his fans through the food preparation process.

The sides of his head were shaved and he rocked a grey t-shirt emblazoned with the words ‘Food is medicine’.

Pete’s wife Nicola Robinson was quick to congratulate him on both his new look and cooking skills.

‘The level of talent of the creator of these vids is up there with the level of talent of your hairdresser! PS: Your burgers are the bomb,’ she gushed.

Once a small screen star, Pete has all but vanished into obscurity in recent years following a string of controversies stemming from his belief in anti-vaxxer conspiracy theories.

After being banned for several mainstream social media sites, Pete now communicates with his fanbase via Telegram, an encrypted messaging app that is often used by conspiracy theorists to broadcast their beliefs.

Pete’s new appearance is worlds away from the squeaky-clean image he maintained while starring on Seven cooking show My Kitchen Rules.

In fact, the once youthful-looking restaurateur appears to have aged decades since quitting his television career two years ago.

In May 2020, it was announced that Pete had parted ways with Channel Seven after 10 years as a judge on MKR alongside Manu Feildel.

It effectively marked his break from the mainstream after years of flirting with off-the-wall ideas during his tenure at the network.

Now free from the contractual constraints of mainstream television, Pete began spouting his non-scientific beliefs about vaccines and the Covid-19 pandemic on social media.

Pete was kicked off Facebook for sharing misinformation in December 2020.

He was also dropped by 15 sponsors and companies in the space of 48 hours last November, after posting a neo-Nazi meme on social media.
