MasterChef fans go wild as they spot a ‘hickey’ on Reynold Poernomo’s neck

‘I can’t stop looking at it!’ MasterChef viewers go wild as they spot a ‘hickey’ on Reynold Poernomo’s neck

On Tuesday’s episode of MasterChef Australia: Back To Win, contestant Reynold Poernomo had an unusual mark on his neck. 

What appeared to be either a bruise or injury on the side of the chef’s neck was quickly dubbed a ‘hickey’ by fans of the show. 

A hickey, also known as a love bite, is caused by kissing or sucking the skin and often appears on the softer portions of the neck.

One person tuning in at home tweeted: ‘So is that a hickey or a pimple on Reynold’s neck??’ before another amused fan chimed in: ‘REYNOLDS HAS A F***ING HUGE HICKIE THATS THE TEA’. 

Someone else wrote: ‘Oh to be a nationally famous dessert king with a hickey on my neck’. 

Yet one more added: ‘Twitter is full of one thing right now and it’s the supposed hickey on ReyReys neck’.

Another keen-eyed fan watching tweeted: ‘What happened to Reynold? Hickeys on his neck?’

Someone else joked: ‘It’s not a hickey it’s a bruise from really sticking his neck out in the competition’. 

While another fan added that he should be provided with a ‘turtleneck’ by the network’s styling department. 

Where'd he get that? Fans wondered how the chef managed to get a hickey, if that is indeed what it is, while in isolation
