Alex Glasson has described his time on MasterChef as "very stressful". The 27-year-old machinist from Western Australia, who was brought back to join the top 24 contestants on the reality show after fighter pilot Paul Lombardi dropped out, was eliminated in Monday night's show after going head-to-head with Billy Law and Ellie Paxton-Hall in a Bombe Alaska challenge.
