On episode six of the program, judge Gordon Ramsay shocked fans when he announced that Mary Jayne would not be returning to the show.
He revealed that she had fallen sick and had to take a break from the show, although she was making a recovery and would return soon.
Ramsay did not disclose any details as to the nature of her illness.
On Instagram, Mary Jayne has also not made any comment on her hiatus, although in older posts she revealed she has fought cancer twice.
“As a two time cancer survivor myself I feel grateful to be here. Having a friend right now that is battling stage 4 cancer it becomes a constant reminder of where we all are,” she wrote.
“One step away one phone call away. If you know somebody that has survived cancer or is fighting it show them all the love and support you can especially if they’re still here. At the end of the day you don’t know what they’re battling.

I do worry about Mary Jayne… I'm glad they said she's okay, but still, to have to leave in the middle of the season… it must've been at least moderately serious. :/ #MasterChef
