He is the disgraced former celebrity chef whose controversial opinions saw him part ways with Channel Seven in 2020 after 10 years as a judge on My Kitchen Rules.
And on Tuesday, Pete Evans, 50, made a rare public appearance in Sydney as he came out of hiding to do some grocery shopping in Bondi Beach.
The former presenter’s appearance was worlds away from his clean cut days as a reality TV star, sporting a rat-tailed mullet and rugged five o’clock shadow.
He rocked a monochrome look for the outing by sporting a stylish black t-shirt which he paired with matching jeans and brown sneakers.
Pete completed his outfit with a black baseball cap on his head and accessorised with a backpack draped around his shoulders.

He carried a paper bag full of groceries and looked focused as he sped off in an Uber.
Evans has assumed a low profile since he was dropped by 15 sponsors and companies in the space of 48 hours in November 2020, after posting a neo-Nazi meme on social media.
He has also faced a string of controversies over the past few years.

The once popular TV star has attracted scrutiny for peddling anti-vaccine conspiracies and being fined $25,000 for spruiking a light machine which he claimed helped cure Covid.
In May 2020, it was announced that Pete had parted ways with Channel Seven after 10 years as a judge on My Kitchen Rules alongside Manu Feildel and guest judge Colin Fassnidge.
It effectively marked his break from the mainstream after years of flirting with off-the-wall ideas during his tenure at the network.

Free from the contractual constraints of mainstream network television, Evans began spouting his non-scientific beliefs about vaccines and the Covid-19 pandemic on social media.
In July, 2020, Evans sparked outrage when he falsely claimed that Covid-19 was a ‘f**king hoax’ and that the pandemic ‘doesn’t compare to what is happening in the world on a large scale’.
In May 2021, he was slapped with a $80,000 fine for trying to cash in again on Covid by flogging more fake treatments online.
It was the second time he ran foul of authorities after previously being fined $25,000 for trying to sell his so-called BioCharger for $15,000 a time on Facebook.
