I didn’t have time to care for two kids and a newborn and tidy my house and also eat and shower and occasionally sleep. Almost overnight, my home went from a tightly run ship to the Titanic lurching face first into the sea.

Watch Below: MasterChef's Andy Allen dotes on Poh's 'technically perfect' cakeAndy and Alex met in pretty normal circumstances, bumping into each other at a party. However, she had no clue he had just won Australia's most successful cooking competition. "When we met, she had no idea who I was," he explained in an interview with TV WEEK."We were both at a party just after I won, and a few people were talking about it. She kept saying, 'You won MasterChef?' She thought it was a joke."Whilst they may have initially met during the party, they only dated when they crossed each other's paths again a few years later. After four years of dating, Andy finally popped the question - al though, he recalled being terrified Alex may say no.
