Disgraced celebrity chef Pete Evans has launched a bizarre promotion for a ‘five-day Lenten retreat’.
The former My Kitchen Rules judge, 51, looked worlds away from his days as a clean-cut TV star in a new Instagram post recording himself shirtless in his car.
In the video, Evans showed off his graying chest hair and long blond mullet as he promoted a cooking retreat, a “women’s retreat” and a five-day Lent retreat from his vehicle.
The Evolve Sanctuary website advertises tickets to the Lenten retreat for $2,250 per person.
The January retreat is already sold out.
“Join Pete for a 5-day juice, water and broth fast in a beautiful rainforest setting to ring in the new year,” the website says.
Evolve Sanctuary, currently owned by Evans, is located an hour’s drive inland between Byron Bay and Coolangatta.
In the comments of the post, the former TV star revealed that the property was currently for sale.

“Are you actually selling your house?” one fan asked.
“It’s on the market, but we do retreats,” Pete replied.
This isn’t the first time the controversial chef has rocked the party-in-the-back hairstyle.
Pete decided to trade his clean cut for a mullet for the first time in June 2023.
Pete, once a minor movie star, has been virtually forgotten in recent years, following a series of controversies stemming from his belief in anti-vaxxer conspiracy theories.
After being banned from several mainstream social media sites, Pete now communicates with his fanbase via Telegram, an encrypted messaging app often used by conspiracy theorists to publicize their beliefs.

Pete’s new look is a world away from the squeaky clean image he maintained when starring in Seven cooking show My Kitchen Rules.
In fact, the once youthful-looking restaurateur appears to have aged decades since he left his television career two years ago.
In May 2020, it was announced that Pete had parted ways with Channel Seven after 10 years as a judge on MKR alongside Manu Feildel.
It effectively marked his break from the mainstream after years of flirting with unusual ideas during his tenure at the network.

Now free from the contractual constraints of mainstream television, Pete began expressing his non-scientific views on vaccines and the Covid-19 pandemic on social media.
Pete was kicked off Facebook in December 2020 for sharing misinformation.
He was also dropped by 15 sponsors and companies within 48 hours last November after posting a neo-Nazi meme on social media.
