Disgraced chef Pete Evans resurfaces online with wild Viking-inspired haircut – after being banned from social media for spreading anti-vaxxer conspiracy theories
Disgraced celebrity chef Pete Evans has surfaced on Instagram with a wild new haircut, more than a year after he was banned from the platform for spreading conspiracy theories.
The My Kitchen Rules judge, 49, appeared on his wife Nicola Robinson’s Instagram Stories on Sunday, looking the world away from her days as a pared-back TV star.
In the post, a shirtless Pete was pictured sporting an unruly Mohawk hairstyle as he lounged shirtless on the beach.

Nicola loved Pete’s new “do” in the caption, comparing it to the Mohawk hairstyle worn by Ragnar Lodbrok in the Netflix series Vikings.
‘Fluffy Ragnar,’ cooed the former glamor model, probably also referring to Pete’s prominent hairiness.
Once a star of the small screen, Pete has all but faded into obscurity 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 broadcast their beliefs.
Pete’s new look is a far cry from the squeaky clean image he maintained when he starred on the cooking show Seven My Kitchen Rules.
In fact, the once young restaurateur appears to have aged decades since quitting 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 offbeat ideas during his tenure at the network.
Now freed from the contractual restraints of mainstream TV, Pete began spouting his unscientific beliefs about vaccines and the Covid-19 pandemic on social media.

Pete was kicked out of Facebook for sharing misinformation in December 2020.
Its Instagram page was also deleted in February 2021, with the company issuing a statement which read: ‘We do not allow anyone to share misinformation about Covid-19 that could lead to imminent physical harm or about Covid-19 vaccines that have been debunked by public health experts.
Pete was also dumped by 15 sponsors and companies in the space of 48 hours last November after posting a neo-Nazi meme on social media.
