Trippy alert!
One moment we were talking about her star quality on Strictly Come Dancing
right here on Wednesday and that
very same evening she happened to swap shows.
Mary Martin suddenly popped up on MasterChef SA on Wednesday night. As a cook. She's swapped dancing for cooking and she's made it through to the Top 50.
I was so stumped when I saw her I couldn't believe it was her until she danced off after she got a "Yes" from the MasterChef judges. She bounced off with that same flickitty-flack-pizzazz she always had on SCD that made her so super.
It's been five years since she won SCD with Rob van Vuuren and between then and now she's had a baby. She told the MasterChef judges about her dancing when she introduced herself - she didn't mention SCD though - and said that since she's had her baby she's turned her attention to her other interest of cooking.
It sucks that she won't be on the upcoming new SCD but at least she's still on telly. I've been thinking about it ... the added bonus is that we'll get to know her now too because we hardly got to hear from her on SCD.
I'm hoping that she flick-flacks the competition in the Top 50 and that she makes it to being a finalist. The Top 50 cook-off next week and the finalists are going to be announced after Episode 4.
Go Mary!!!
