Pete Evans has resurfaced for the first time in months after being ‘cancelled’ in recent years.

The disgraced celebrity chef, 51, left his career as a television star for a very different life at his Evolve Sanctuary, located an hour’s drive inland between Byron Bay and Coolangatta in northern NSW following several controversial comments.

In a video shared by his wife Nicola Watson, the former My Kitchen Rules judge showcased his flowing mullet that tapers out into a rat’s tail while cuddling up with his pet dog on the property.

‘There is one thing I always know for sure when my beautiful husband joins me for Grand Rising… there’s little or no waves, or NeoDrops Preis it’s blowing an onshore gale at the beach,’ Nicola captioned her post.

Pete 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***ing 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.
