Former celebrity chef Pete Evans<\/a> has been spotted looking almost unrecognisable while strolling barefoot and shirtless through the streets \u2014 a far cry from his polished TV days.<\/p>\n

The former My Kitchen Rules<\/a> judge was photographed this week carrying a gym bag and takeaway coffee, hair bleached blond and his appearance noticeably more rugged.<\/p>\n

The 52-year-old, who once fronted one of Australia\u2019s biggest cooking shows, has largely retreated from the spotlight in recent years after a string of controversies surrounding his outspoken views on health, vaccines and alternative medicine.<\/p>\n

The long-time TV star has since focused on wellness projects and social media ventures, often promoting health alternatives.<\/p>\n

Evans\u2019 public appearances have become rare, but the latest photos \u2014 showing the former chef barefoot and dishevelled \u2014 have reignited discussion about his dramatic transformation since his RV heyday.<\/p>\n
