MasterChef judge George Calombaris will learn his fate after pleading guilty to assaulting a teenager following the A-League grand final in Sydney.

The 38-year-old Network Ten personality was charged in May with assaulting the 19-year-old man at the grand final between Melbourne Victory and the ultimate winners, Sydney FC, at Allianz Stadium.

Calombaris, a Victory supporter, apologised the day after the grand final, saying he was disappointed he had let the heckling of Sydney fans get to him.
